Another vote for Trangia Triangle. Its what I find myself using most. I usually use it with a trangia meths stove, but have also used it to light a small twig fire inside and with a little plughole drainer inside with a hexi tab on. Meths in a hip flask! Its small and you can use whatever pan...

Not cheap, but for stability and size I use the trangia triangle, with the gas adapter when I want gas, but to be honest mostly just with meths burner. I can fit my whole cooking set into a webbing pouch that way (not including gas canister - but including meths if I use that). You could...

I've never been one for small rucksacks, preferring to be comfortable and have plenty of space. That said my usual daysack is 30 litres, which is basically FAK, waterproofs, food and emergency shelter. Water in flasks on oustide. I quite often compliment this with one or two PLCE utility...

Mora Quicksnap - (#911)

Yes and the other important thing to remember is that trespass is not necessarily a crime (although it may be in certain circumstances). Someone who injures themselves during the act of committing a crime does not have the automatic right to sue.

Yes barbed wire is still regularly used for farm fences and at a relatively low height (waist high). Which proves that it is not illegal to use it. As I said before I think it is a question of reasonableness. You are allowed to protect your property in the UK, you are just not allowed to act...

I'm no expert on this at all. But I suspect that the answer is like so much in English law, that magical word reasonable. In other words is it reasonable for you to have barbed wire in that position. Is the fence high enough that no one going about their lawful business could possibly injure...

of course Mabey's, but you might also want to take a look at the River Cottage Handbooks written by John Wright. I think they are excellent and very well written. The are: No 1 Mushrooms No 5 Edible Seashore No 7 Hedgerow They are listed at £14.99 each, but I've seen them for less than...

Just bought one today (got 20% off!) am very pleased with it. Apart from using it with the meths burner, I think it is a very useful way of turning the gas trangia into a stand alone gas stove, for when you want that kind of thing. I know a lot of people are saying its just a copy of a...

That looks pretty smart. Any chance of a bigger picture?

Don't forget that stuff will burn too so can help with firelighting.

Ibuprofen is anti-inflamatory as well as a pain killer, so probably better than paracetemol or asprin. Got me down off a mountain in Wales after a nasty sprain. if you want to save weight get a plastic fresnel magnifier. ebay!

Wow, what a lot of stuff into a few small pouches, seems you are pretty well equipped with several back up items! Nice pouches too. I tend to carry a bit more medical stuff in my personal first aid kit (ibuprofen, antihistamine, imodium, antisceptic cream) which is ok as it is a personal kit...

Lots f people here seem to like the 58 water bottle and crusader cup, but I must admit I prefer my own copy made from civi bits. see this thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59996&p=728630&highlight=#post728630 Also I got rid of my swedish army trangia as I prefer the...
