    Fire pit from a washing machine drum

    Burns wood fast though, lots of airflow. Take the belt wheel off and reverse it, hey presto a stand, no need to source legs. Not all drums are the same, some have plastic agitators that are a pain to remove. Hmm, thought this sounded familiar, it's in the other thread.

    Reduced price gas lanterns

    Google some reviews then ask, if they're any good, why are they selling them that cheap? (Buy nice or buy twice)

    Newbie Tarp setup! Advice needed!

    I prefer constrictor to clove hitch, depending on use. Google "Surrey six" for a neat backpocket teach-in.

    Recycling old washing machines...

    Some observations, having done several: It's easy to do Never had to make a stand, just take the drive wheel off the axle, and bolt it back on the other way around Some drums are easy to get out, others difficult, one I gave up as it was not worth the effort Some drums have plastic bits...

    Which DD tarp

    DD XL gives plenty of options for set up in all weathers for both solo ground dwelling and with family. My preference, anyway.
