    Fire, Fire & FIRE!

    Curiously, and as it is good to have duel function. Crayons work almost as well as wax and obviously have another purpose (drawing stick insects) So on a practical although rather obscure note they may well be a better option than wax.

    heehee. Yup very true Philster, but I need a kit that is not selling vasaline cotton! If-Yah-See-What-I-Mean :-)

    Fire, Fire & FIRE!

    Hi Limaed - We already do a similar kit to that but as a larger fire kit. The tampons work a treat and almost impossible for us to compress cotton down to that level. I do feel a little guilty selling tampons in a kit but what works works. Improving on it makes sense. The hexamine style...

    Fire, Fire & FIRE!

    Hey all I'm putting together some fire kits for my website, we already do natural tinder kits and others but I want to put together a simple foolproof survival fire kit and am looking for ideas. Obviously this counts out much of the natural stuff, so no birch bark, assorted fungi tinders etc...

    Iceland Vs Look What We Found meals

    Looking at both plates of food it is clearly obvious where the additional weight is coming from; and that would be added water. To even the score a bit add a small cup of water to the lwwf meal, give it a quick mix and there we go. Tis nice to chomp into a bit of chicken though, all be it don't...

    The Ultimate "What is this Fungi?" thread.

    @ exlaria - Sorry dude but your comments and their references almost seems like a personal attack on Geoff. If these were in any way attributed to my debate there then I would like to distance myself from them. From my small part in this forum I have found Geoff extremely helpful and...

    The Ultimate "What is this Fungi?" thread.

    I'm sorry if I appeared harsh there Geoff and I have seen the fall out before in various forums and with the TV productions and mass forays that are held by TV personalities for monetary gain. However, everyone has to start somewhere and we are all beginners at some point down the line. The...

    The Ultimate "What is this Fungi?" thread.

    Sorry Geoff but I disagree and think you were rather harsh. We were all beginners at one stage and there is nothing wrong (in my opinion) with picking fruiting bodies for the purposes of learning more on a subject that you are interested in. As "shroomers" we are not picking excessive amounts...

    Considered adding chilli but thought I would leave it out this attempt, I'll be doing plenty of experimenting over the coming weeks n months though. Pure malt ey, a good excuse to get the bottle out for a dram at the same time :D (not that I need any excuses) :P Do you brush the spines off the...

    Pickled mushrooms

    I picked around 2 pounds of chantrelles earlier which I have cleaned and pickled into 1 jar.... yes ONE jar.... Not even a big jar at that. Pickled in vinegar which was a first for me as normally i would do oil for mushrooms so not to impart the acidity into them. It took me about 3 hours to...
