Yes you are right. I have checked and if the air is too cool dew forms. See, I will admit when I am wrong. It seems it is like condensation on a beer glass. I am devastated I thought I knew every thing.

Well if you have dew on your bag too much heat is escaping, otherwise dew would not form. The dew forms because of the difference in temperature.

Some results of a British examination of the advantage of reflective survival sheets concluded the advantage was no more than 10 percent, and a plastic bag might be just as good. RAF I think it was.

Yes I have one.

Thank you for your support Tvivdr. "Don't carry a potjie for travelling light." A three legged cast iron - minimum weight 3.3 pounds. Cast iron for travelling light is stupid, but certain people will not accept this.

In addition I have just checked your website and see that you do not use a four pound ten ounce frying pan. You use a billy can. please explain why you do not use a four pound ten ounce frying pan. or is that an embarrassing question?

I did not say you put me on ignore, I suggested that you do. Me whining. check the posts I am not the one whining. Yet again a member here does not read my post properly. Go back and read my post. I want to make clear I do not value social skills but do Bushcraft skills. Your statement that I...

Well whatever makes you happy. Me i just break off lower branches and hang my stuff on them

Yes it is not clear Broch. They seem very reluctant to pass on their skills . . .

It is important for members to debate what is right or wrong on the forum in order for everyone to learn new things. For instance I thought carrying a four pound ten ounce frying pan was not Bushcraft. I thought it was as justified as a one legged Tarzan. Yet one member put me on ignore and I...

Well I am still baffled: "some molds than SS in the same conditions. Not recommended in any way" Message garbled please resend. As for the other explanation: "I think it cleans itself fairly well during the next rain." I will take your word for it. The time is 2.38 a.m. here, I am going to sleep...

I am still confused by your answers. First you write that if you leave your cutlery unwashed that will keep them slightly cleaner. Not you write it is not a good idea to leave one's cutlery dirty. Which is it? Doing some research reveals that Ti cleans itself, but only in sunlight. Fine if there...

Even so it is better to eat with sterilized cutlery than not. Food should be assumed to be sterile anyway if heated or served from a manufactured package. Cutlery cannot be. You mention copper as an alternative to silver, however copper is toxic if consumed in too large amounts, which is why...

A little tip here when in eating in unhygienic conditions, such as hot countries. Use silver cutlery. Silver kills bacteria. I have a sold silver spoon and silver plated fork here in the far east.

Well Amazon films because every time I watch Bear Grylls I think I have seen it before. Thirty seconds in and he is eating something live and foul. Two minutes in, he is climbing a vertical rock face, or if there is not a rock face around, climbing a tree to see where he is going. And all the...
