Hi !!!

Few weeks ago, I posted the contents of my tentative EDC/PSK and received some good advices, to improve it.

Some items I would like to get, I only find them on US web sites.
I tried ordering from US companies : some agree, some don't.
+ Shipping cost are quite expansive, except with US Postal services, but then packages do not always arrive in France ..... <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
+ DHL multiply by two the customs fees !!!! <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
(I still don't know why ; they do not answer my Email. Maybe it's just for fun ....l)

So, I would be glad if the european members of this forum could share their favorite european providers, especially for the following items :
* spark lite + tinder
* reheater warmers
* grabber mycoal warmers
* mirror

Questionned, most of the US companies (as mentionned on ETS web site) are ready to ship their products to France, as they have no official distributors over here.
But I guess it would be easier (and cheaper) to order from a european source.

TIA.

Regards.

Alain
