    Help- I don’t love my bolts.

    A drill press and a rotary broach kit could cut square, hex or torx head onto them if they are bolts.

    EDC lighters or firemakers

    Usually have just a bic in a pocket. If have a pack, have a ferro, carbide striker and a couple of fireplugs on a carabiner in top pocket. As pictured previously...

    guy line tensioners

    Could try and put a diagonal slot in the webbing bar, so could feed the loop in. Like the field replaceable buckles. For just cord adjustments Roperoller Roperollers look nice, though couldn't find UK source last time I looked. https://www.rollercam.com/shop/roperoller Also Treadlite Gear...

    aluminium water bottles for carrying fuel?!

    Should be a law that bottles be marked what they are safe to be used for when it's not obvious.

    Why I hate (most) modern torches

    Did notice Pokelit's are as low as £18 on Amazon are on a deal atm. It's green body though, so not ideal for the outdoors. Bushcraft orange is £22. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ACEBEAM-Pokelit-Rechargeable-Camping-Everyday/dp/B0B5BZLKWT/ref=sr_1_5

    Walking the Amazon - Ed Stafford

    Doesn't look like it's streamed anywhere. DVD still available on Amazon. Though the series was only 2 episodes long, and supposedly covered 2 years of the expedition.

    Why I hate (most) modern torches

    Yeah, USB lion battery and the ability to use regular AAs makes so much sense. Nitecore started a Kickstarter yesterday for a version of that model that takes CR123/RCR123s. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sysmax/mt1cpro/

    Bath bushcraft shop

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/mdflashlightsetc Think this is their ebay store. They had the same shop name on Amazon. "The seller is away until Sat, 16 Mar, 2024. Expect a delay in delivery until they return."

    Bath bushcraft shop

    Yeah, looks like that's true. Google maps has it listed as in-store shopping, but description only "Please note: We are based online only, We only offer a CLICK & COLLECT service or we can of course post your items." Also has two locations on maps, and one is "Temporarily closed" so hopefully...

    Bath bushcraft shop

    First noticed it was down on the 4th Feb. Seems long time for maintenance. No one in Bath to see if their physical store is open? https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/fire-dragon-fuel.150825/post-2059629

    Closest can think of is Shire Supply https://shiresupply.com/products/build-edc-pocket-organiser-case-wallet But they only mention the thinner Cadets or Farmers fitting.

    Fire Dragon Fuel

    Believe the Esbit blocks in the Esbit BCB ration heater kits were/are 14g. So maybe that's where the sizes initially came from, but BCB never had a reason to put Dragon Fuel blocks into production.

    Fire Dragon Fuel

    @billycoen Yes, they are supposed to be able to raise the temperature of 300ml of water by 40 degrees C. There is also an Esbit version of the ration heater kit, which claims roughly same ability.
