    Hot tent set up in the garden but ....

    I have 2 stoves too. One is a large stove with 127mm chimnies, an the other one is an old rusty Norwegian army stove with 89mm pipes. The larger stove chimeny wouldn't even fit into the stove jack of the tent unless it gets cut. The old Norwegian army stove pipe fits ok, and the stove sits OK...

    Hot tent set up in the garden but ....

    I got this new hot tent, which came with stove jack. But I feel my wood burning stove might be too close to the tent wall. The tent is 1 or 2 person for max, which is not roomy. When the stove is placed in the tent under the stove jack, the back of the stove is very close to the tent which...

    Tent heating?

    I have read the news that some campers died of Carbone Monoxide poisoning off the kerosene heaters in their tents, but never read or heard of the similar tragic cases from the wood burning stoves.

    Heads up - Post office not sending sharps after 22nd April

    Ordered a long handled billhook from ebay 3 days ago. The seller posted via Royal Mail Tracked 48, and it arrived OK yesterday. The billhook has the sharpest edge I have seen, and works great. RM seems keep delivering blade stuff no problem as of well into mid May 2024.

    Found a 15+ year old tarp in the shed. How long do Tarps last?

    Wow that was a real bargain. Indeed, it is funny old world, or new world. Things used to be more predictable in the good old days. Now? A bit of hit and miss. :D

    Found a 15+ year old tarp in the shed. How long do Tarps last?

    That's pretty good. It must have been made with good quality material. I was wondering if plastic tarps degrade through time even not being put out in the sun, just being stored away and getting old. But it seems all depends on what materials they are made of? I recall having bought my old...

    Paracord question

    The 100m roll of paracord from Amazon for £9.61 arrived next day, and it seems good quality. I managed to tie up the shelter frames guying it down to the heavy rocks and washing poles. The paracord was bending and tieing very well like string. The canopy shelter feels more secure and stable...

    Paracord question

    £10 for 100m 4mm thickness paracord from eBay sounds OK then. A 100m length paracord will be plenty for another 10 years. :D
