No love for Nitecore? MT2A is a great 2xAA that does a wopping 300 lumens. And they do a little version for 1xAA if you want even smaller. Heinnie price was good too Works perfectly on Eneloops, though it does gobble them at full power. Got a bunch of Panasonic Emeloops recently and they seem...

My MT2A is probably my fave little torch and I have been after a red filter since I got it - as a stocking filler for myself got one off the web and it arrived today - but it seems to be orange not red at all so did I get a fake or are they all like that? Came in pukka Nitecore packaging from...

well here is my M320 with Tilley mantle burnt off, looks just as it should. And yes i was done outside - I even waited 2 days for the rain and wind to stop so I could do things outside The first go a lighting was a flop. 5 goes with fresh Meths got nowhere so I resigned myself to getting a...

thanks for the ideas folks Had a look at a few more today - alas Osprey was too flimsy looking for me but thanks salad. Macpac offer various back sizes in smaller packs too, but a little pricey Aiguille looks like an interesting option, they do some sensible sized/priced crag sacks like...

have tried a few packs and read a few threads on rucsacs here but still cant seem to find a good answer - mostly I think because I am pretty tall My main rucsac is a POD Black Ice with a size 3 back system. It fits great and takes a load of gear (approx 60L I reckon) but I need a smaller...

the weather isnt playing nicely (wet and very windy here) so will have to light outside another time . . . for those who do try this (and I suspect you may already know this but I am relatively knew to the forum) - the easiest I found to install was: (i) unscrew the mantle support tube (ii)...

excellent stuff - thanks just need for the rain to stop and I can go outside and light up the prelighter hope it works as the lamp is a1973 and looks to have not run since about then . . .

guess a picture might help - this is what it wants to look like . . .

following threads on here I have got some Tilley Mantles for my Vapalux. The Mantle support tube unscrewed very easily and getting the mantle on was simple enough (though the tied string was a knats tighter than I would have liked) now I am left with a big bunch of mantle and a little unsure if...

fumes and CO are separate issues as others have said As I understand it the basic hydrocarbons are "okay" as they should break down to CO2 and H2O but additives make other complex combustion products. Stuff like Benzene in petrol are REALLY bad for you In my view Aspen 4 is pretty "safe" (in...

Got myself an old but minty M320 recently (to an extent because of the love people have for them right here on bushcraftuk) The lamp has a nice patina on the brass which looks nice, but the aluminium frame (that runs from the paraffin bowl to the top cowl and supports the glass on the way) is a...

Hi there, sent a PM about Vapalux day or so ago, wondering if you got the message? cheers A

still available? PM sent

came here looking for some info on rucsacs and stoves - so I picked a profile name kind of at random as searching without was awkward now I find this place is really useful and want to join in prperly but would prefer a profile name that is more 'me' can I delete my profile and start again...
