My first "wild" drill set. I think it's sycamore. Got it on the second try luckily.

Good point. Thanks guys sharing your experiences! I think at this point the MSR titan looks like a good option, but the Esbit is a little cheaper. I reckon I'll initially go with one of these for a start and see if I feel like I need more when I get going. Like you guys say; it really comes...

Totally agree; when I say quikclot, I meant the treated sponge, not the granules, I didn't know you could even still get that!

Yeah, now you've said that, and I've thought about it, I can't really see myself doing much, if any frying; which just leaves boiling water/re-hydrating. Answered my own question with that really! Thanks for all the input guys! and for excusing my inexperience in this department :)

Very good point, never thought of that. Great for cooking then, but maybe not so good for then eating/drinking out of. Thanks for the heads up mate

Like it. I hope not to have to melt snow for water :). That kettle looks just like the Esbit one I was thinking of. I reckon that's the way to go to meet my needs. Thanks for the advice mate.

Hello and welcome Mark!

Hi Joe and welcome!

Hello and welcome!

No really good reason, it's just that the anodising will wear off over time, how long depends on the production quality. I would just personally prefer spending a little more on a lifelong faithful companion (still talking about the cup lol!), solid metal, no coatings; what could possibly go wrong.

Don't know why you're worried! you got us in this pickle!! :lmao:

Yeah, I thought the same, but I only need the cup, and I found that Esbit new for £36.

Man I glad someone else posted! I gonna slowly step off the land mine now and retreat to cover! atb :stretcher:

Isn't Celox a blood clotting agent?

Thanks guys, that hot handle question has been bugging me a bit!

Maybe I'm misunderstood, I mean no offence, I simply mean that I feel we will have achieved a state of true equality when people from all walks of life no longer feel the need to criticize other peoples choices under banners of racism or sexism. Loose women is fine, that's on TV. I don't see...

Thanks for the replies! Macaroon, I was looking at an Optimus Terra cook set that looks very similar to this; I just didn't really fancy anything anodised; in a few years I'm looking to have a beaten up old pot that could tell some stories lol. But just to clarify, the aluminium cooks and...

That's a great site; can't believe I've never come across it before! tah

+1 I agree. In my humble opinion; equality is indifference.

Thanks for that, that MSR does look handy; I was also looking at an MSR cooking pot, but the titan looks better. Thanks for the advice on the titanium, I was looking at a Vargo; but after what you've said, I think I'll keep looking at alternative options. Cheers mate!
