Here's some equipments I bought from Amazon for camping this summer. I have been using an activade plastic bottle for water container for quite sometime and I thought I'd buy a better one. I also bought a stainless cup whereas I'd been using a soup can before.
Space Saver Cup and Nalgene Tritan 1-Quart Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle.
The Space Saver Cup from Olicamp is designed to fit over the end of a round 1 quart Nalgene bottle, as well as most other round 1 quart. bottles, eliminating the wasted space of packing a traditional cup.
Made from high quality stainless steel, the wire handles fold flat to save space and extend enough to use the cup to cook without burning your fingers. Also great as a measuring cup with easy to read graduations on the side of the cup.
I barely noticed it but I have my first blog follower aside from myself. It's almost a year now since I wrote my first blog post and I thought nobody would follow my blog, but today I noticed someone on the follower's list. Ruben Javier Pastor, my very first blog follower.
Someone said "Spring has sprung." Yes, spring is here and so are the birds. They have started appearing in our backyard - robins, house finches, and the grackles. I've yet got to see the cardinals. And so to observe them closely I bought a monocular at eBay for less than $10.00 and free shipping.
This monocular is quite handy not only for observing the birds but for other purposes such as reading the plate number of a suspicious car across the street, watching field games, you can use it at work for reading labels on a carton high on the shelf or anything you need to look up closely outdoors. Happy bird watching everybody!
I've mentioned in my previous blog post that I'd make a neck sheath for my CRKT RSK Mk5 knife. Well, here it is - my second stitching project.
I made the sheath out of a lady's handbag that I bought from a thrift store for 2 dollars. It's cheaper than buying leather from a leather supplier.
The small knife inserted in the sheath with a small firesteel. I honestly think this sheath is much better than the pouch I made for my BIC lighter. The stitches are much straighter now and I put eyelets for the paracord to hang on my neck.
A closer view of the knife and firesteel inside the sheath.
I like this sheath. It's hardly noticeable when I wear it behind my clothing. Even when its outside my clothing, you would hardly know that there's a knife in there.
