I've started to use microfiber cloths, I have really bad sinus problems. I've always carried handkerchiefs, picked it up from the cubs and it has become a lifetime habit. Si

Either of them will burn in low temps with enough of a prime. If you have the pump attachment then both of them will have no problem at all. I have a picture of one of my 99's boiling a trangia kettle in a snow drift somewhere. If it's snow melting then I would suggest something a little larger...

Fisher space pen all the way for me, in a small one in my primary kit and a large one in my secondary kit. In the big bag I always carry a Sharpie, also one of those in my secondary kit. However my daily carry SAK a cybertool has a pen on it also. TBF if I know I'm going somewhere and notes need...

Look at Vipertec you may find one in a gun shop or airsoft place. TBH I make all my own zipped pouches so I've stopped looking but charity shops maybe an answer as after Xmas they will be full of quality wash bags. Si

Not kept chickens for a while but an old boy recommended to me to put a bit of TCP in there drinking water once a month and that seemed to work. Si

TBH, I'd start at £800 and work from there, they are now becoming highly collectable items. Si

As a young lad, I helped my dad dig loads of them! My back is starting to twitch now just thinking of them. Si

Very nice but a week to early for me I'm afraid, good luck with the sale Si

I used to look at where the rabbit runs were on the field edges. Then I'd place them on the places where the rabbits would hop into or out of the hedge. My snares were made and then left outside in the weather for a week or two so they'd lose their shine then put in a hessian bag on the back of...

Money now sent, Ive covered the fees, thank you. Si

Unless the stove is marketed as a diesel burner I would never use that fuel in a multifuel stove unless there is no other option. Priming will be an absolute nightmare and simmering will be very hard to maintain. Due to the very high-temperature need to keep and sustain the vaporisation point of...

It was marketed as the Primus Himalaya stove. I have one somewhere in my collection, comes with two jets as standard IIRC. Si
