Spondonicals Revisited

In an earlier posting I wrote about spondonicals – a very useful and now rare item of bushwalking equipment.

I recently received an interesting email from Jochen, a bushwalker from the Blue Mountains, who is considering manufacturing them. See my earlier posting for their history, but suffice to say that they have not been made since around the 1970’s.

Spondonicals or “Spondonicles” or “billy grips” or “Paddy’s Fingers” have long handles which make them particularly useful for getting a billy on and off a fire.

To test the market, Jochen has placed a survey online. If you are after a brand new pair of spondonicals, then why not visit his site and complete the survey?
