Over the past couple of years I've taken to medium rare Eisenhower as being my go to method for cooking steak. For those that are not acquainted with the technique, steak cooked directly on glowing red embers. I've also tried it the pork and abviously expect virtually all flash cook meats to...

Planning on going to pick some elderflowers tomorrow to make some wine out of. I think I've got it all sorted. Could a few of you have a quick look as a double check to minimise the likely hood of me poisoning myself please. *Is?* https://imgur.com/v8pQ2F5 https://imgur.com/N7IYwFq...

Has anyone made their own flame less MRE heater? I've got a load of magnesium powder and from what I read I'd need to add some iron powder and keep it from moisture. I figure it can't be a hard thing to make and guess it's just about getting the right quantities so that it doesn't get out of...

Just bought one I was expecting something with an outer shell that appeared to the eye to be more waterproof. Has anyone had any practical experience as to how waterproof the bag is? Also, I know it compresses well and its been a while, but... It appears to be almost the same size as...

Normally I hike and wild camp for several days at a time and as such like to try and keep the weight down. I also like to keep clean up as simple as possible and either go with boil in the bag or Vesta meal done in my food thermos. I know I could buy dehydrated food pouches for my exact...

I'm thinking of getting a Zippo handwarmer as I've read lots of good things about them. Two questions: 1) I mainly hike and wild camp so space\weight is normally a consideration. What is the performance of the small unit like compared to the regular sized one, which 'you' recommend and why...
