When I read this I wondered if they bore the same releation as the french RIE to the RCIR. The RIE is a cut down version for on exercise, and basically has one of the meals from the RCIR (mmmm french tinned meals . . . ) with some snacky stuff and a tinned pudding. No cooker (the RCIR has an...

Back to the OP, I think the Bush cooker stove reffered to is not this http://www.bushcooker.com/ but this http://www.fourdog.com/index_files/bushcooker.htm Another wood gas stove, but a little different in design.

I've got one with just the kit lens. No complaints feature wise, photos tend to come out a little undersaturated but easilly fixed. Can't think of any gotchas, other than the fact it's a little on the bulky/heavy side - I'd have got the D5000 if they were out at the time.

People do it because it stops the soot on your pans, apparently. I never find it a problem so I've never bothered.

So did I (along with drawing new grid lines on maps) but . . . While Eric is right in that it's not rocket science, I find it hard to believe he's used a compass with adjustable declination. The "gizmo" as he calls it is as low-tech as you can get, if it fails, your compass has probably fallen...

Many Suunto, Reacta, Kasper & Richter and even the odd Silva compasses do this by allowing the "shed" to be moved independently from the N/S line. Like this:

By my measurements it's about 20% lighter _per_square_metre_, and obviously more in total. Thats using real, measured, weights. Nothing to get excited about, but if it's the size you want (I find 3x3 tarps to big in windy conditions - I had a mare with my dd when using it for temporary shelter...

Seconded. It's substantially lighter than the DD tarp, and does the job.

I'm a compass user, but I do get slightly irked by some of the nonsense that gets thrown about re. GPS. The straw man that always gets thrown up is that it's Map + Compass vs GPS. With the exception of a few relatively recent units most GPS recievers don't give much in the way of mapping. I...

But that quote also says: "In most cooking applications, it is desirable to have the utensil heat up quickly, not develop hot spots, and react to changes we make to the range controls" Now, for those of us who are mainly boiling water, whether to make a brew, boil a rat pack meal, or...

I have had no problems with running a single length of the DD tape to the trees (from the caribiner), and I'm not exactly a mere slip of a lad. Gives you more length to play with (and more flexibility with choosing a spec. Oh - and I tie it similar to MrEd - except using a series of alpine...

Nive chart from the same place:

I haven't got the ti-lite, the nearest is the snow peak trek 700, which just about allows you to boil a rat pack meal in enough liquid for a brew and wedge the lid on. However, the following two websites have the ti-lite as substantially smaller (85x105mm vs 105x128mm). I'm thinking that must be...

Here it is:

Hi, Just to update, made one today. Baically, an unpreassurised stove, as per conall and beamdunes links (as opposed to the lynx stove for e.g.), Basically, a rough version of the pica stove (the same priciple as the tuna can stoves conall reffered to, if I got the right link). The good news...

Cheers, very interesting. That link also explained what the "triple" beers you get in Belgium are, one of those things I'd always wondered, but never at the precise moment I had google to hand;-)

Isn't thast like asking for Cheryl Cole, but with a fat backside and acne ;-) ? In answer to the question, Snow Peak do most of their stuff in aluminium too (someone here was flogging an alu trek 900 a while back) - though you'll have to get it from the states. They're cheap though. MSR do...

I'ts been a while since I home brewed, though the bruheat is still in the garage, so forgive any errors here . . . I thought "small beer" was what you got if you took the grain you already mashed (then boiled the wurt with hops etc), and mashed it again? I remember seeing a time team where...

Cheers all. Just to say, I _loved_ the caldera and used it for a good while, before I nearly set a sun baked welsh hillside on fire, and stamped the poor stove out with the flames. As has been said, it's a system, as I've found out when trying to substitute other (commercial) burners. The best...

Cheers John, I'll have a pop at a pepsi can stove with larger holes.
