I'd take meths myself, greeheat gel is great in theory but in practice you will still be hungry and cold waiting for scoff and a brew when everyone else has finished cooknig theirs !

I have one of the alpkit head torches and its ok for under a fiver, I have managed to break part of the harness, the loop on the baseplate that the top harness strap goes through but htats not a huge problem as the torch itself is light weight. I have used it considerably throughout the winter...

Newtons right hand rule for motors I believe The same applies for the left hand rule for generators Thinking about it, in may be Faradays r+l hand rule

Well I thought it was okay as entertainment but as instruction it fell flat on its face, did enjoy where the igloo ( more of an "ig" really ) fell down as he built it

I think I saw one on Salisbury plain this august, something was walking along a ridge and at first glance I thought "big cat" However I could well have been completely wrong as 5 minutes later a family came along the same ridge walking the family dog which looked like a spaniel , not at all...
