    Wild Stoves: woodgas stove review (YT vid)

    After deliberating for a while on getting a woodgas stove, I decided to go with the UK company Wild Stoves and got their small backpacking woodgas stove. I love the thing. It's any excuse for a fire at the moment. Here's vid I've just put together if you're not too familiar with the stove or the...

    Good podcast over on Jack Mountain Bushcraft

    I came across this the other day and enjoyed listening to it. There are 6 episodes but the main one worth listening to is the 'Practical Wilderness Survival' one from the 31st of August. It's worth downloading and listening on the way work or pottering around the house.

    Ikea hobo stove: initial tests and thoughts

    I'd been planning on making one of these for months and after reading a post on here last week I decided that it would be my weekend project to 'build' one and do some tests. My other stoves are an MSR Whisperlite and plenty of homemade alcohol stoves. I like the idea of wood stoves but I'd...

    Spent a good night out over the weekend...

    at my local woods. Friday was really wet here in London but we decided to go out anyway as the rain stopped and the next day was predicted to be nice. I wanted to test out some new gear (homemade hammock underblanket) and just to get out with a friend and retest older gear: Nomad's Land hammock...
