Local Finds...

Post by Survivalist85 »

Hey everyone,

Due to recently changing my car I went into my local Tesco for some cleaning gear. I also found plastic gallon fuel cans for £2 (half price) and redex fuel treatment for £2 (also half price) .

On a discounted shelf there were Bobble plastic reusable water bottles with a filter. Im not sure if this is designed for tap water or dirty water but i thought it worth a mention to anyone interested.

Also because of the time of year most of the camping / outdoor gear was now discounted.

Thanks for reading.

Hey guys, I tend to prefer rechargable batteries ads I also have a number of solar batteries which I can use to charge them up, so in theory I will never run out until I have charged them 10,000 times each; which I believe is the recycle lifespan.

Back in Tescoids again and i found a lightweight 0.9kg compact sleeping bag for £19:50. Now i understand with it being a national store you may be able to find one locally but if anyone wants me to pick them one up (payment through paypal) i would be happy to do so. Get paid friday so may have to get one for my car!

Saw them in our local store but the temperature rating looked a bit late spring /summer/ early autumn IIRC Comfort was 6^c ish Risk rating was 0^c unless they do more than one type as ours is only a small ish store

Having seen some other threads on here lately im tempted by a snugpac :)
