About the same as a feather :)

Or maybe just a smidge more................... ;)

A lot I would think being forged. As It happens Launditch is making me one (a little larger than the norm at 5'). I'll weight it if you like when it turns up next week

I take a type 2 in square bar if I may,....Going camping with the Scouts at the start of next month and it would be ideal (if you can knock one up that quickly?)


Could I have it a bit taller though, say about 5 feet?

Paypal ok?
PM me with you PayPal address and I'll send funds!

By my rough calculations:
2-1/2 foot (small): 2.5 kg (5.6 lb)
4 foot (large): 4 kg (9 lb)

How close am I Launditch?

You know what?I have no idea how much they weigh!!My local post office hates me bringing these in and look at me like their day couldnt get any worse:rolleyes: :D Ill try and find one of my old recipts and ill post here the weights of them.Ill guess youre close though...

Tripod and firesteel arrived safe & sound this morning.:D

I'm very happy with both and intend to use them this weekend as I'm on a Scout Leaders weekend.

Scouting activities for the Leaders with no kids about - heaven. Clay pigeon shooting, fire lighting, knife, axe & saw workshops etc - Can't wait!:beerchug::beerchug:
