I'm sure a link to something you've bought or are thinking of buying is fine.
If it is for something you're selling then no.

There will be a Mod come along in a minute to correct me if I'm wrong

Re: Twig Stove

I quite like Pop-can stoves.... The 'well-burner' ones work really well with a wide pot, weigh nearly nothing and don't use a lot of meths (or the bio-ethanol that I prefer to use). Oh, and nothing is cheaper then free :D

Re: Looking for a multitool/kn*fe

I've got a SOG Powerlock (it doesn't really matter which one you buy as they're user serviceable and you can buy replacement tools). Compound pliers and locking tools sold me on that range... I removed the knife blade for EDC, but I kept the 'V'tool as an escapeknife/ seltbelt cutter. Folders. I've ...

Re: Buy or build a Home First Aid Kit

The 1st aid at work has a one day refresher if you've not lapsed or you need to do the full three day course if it passed its date.
My Boss told me mine was good until next spring, and then I found out it ran out March...... Last time I take anyone else's word for it :x
