Great pics mate! You did right not coming to derwent water, very bad weather. Wast water is the best, I love it when the sky is moody!

Hi mate, hows things? Done any bushcraft lately?

Great guide mate! I especially like the plastic chopping board idea. Thanks!

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum.

Here is a picture of my home-made woodgas stove, I'm not sure if the design is correct because I only heard of woodgas the other day and saw a picture of another stove and tried to make something similar. I'll probably make another couple more before I get it perfect although this one works OK...

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the info on woodgas stoves, much appreciated!

Hi all, I made a woodgas stove today from a bean tin and a small WD40 can. It seems to do what its supposed to do. Can anyone tell me how it works?

Its the first time I've heard of this type of stove, will look forward to the review.

Hello Simon, welcome to the site. Enjoy! P.S. Did you go to Woodsmoke?

British army wool jumper, got it for 50p at Kirkudbright charity shop and never looked back.

I usually carry a small knife and laplander saw with Victorinox huntsman as an emergency back up for both. In less populated and wooded areas I'll add a wildlife hatchet.
