That also makes a lot of sense really eg most of the heat will heat the stove metal with some of the heat going through the holes. So the old style US military type Open top will be the best. Really never thought about it before but yes common sense.

Ask permission or leave before first light always the easier and sensible option.

Thank you, thought I’d read somewhere of this happening bit this one just with hexi blocks. Couldn’t have taken much heat to to that, just a couple of hexi’s

Good to know from someone who uses it, that’s it’s a good product. Probably right with how it was damaged with improper usage

Yep definitely worth fixing it.

How do you get on with TBS cup over the fire, heard it warps easily ?

Bomb proof kit is safe kit despite the weight. Just save weight elsewhere with dry food, less clothing etc. Says I with hexi stove or gas stoves

Even hiking the extra weight is minimal really ( not that bad ) and do you also what to risk it warping/damaging in the middle of a few days out ruining your adventures.

You would, having something that long has more memories that actual good use sometimes.

When I owned a dog I never took it off it’s lead at anytime, not once Walks, Beaches and especially hillwalks just in case.

Repair it, relative had a seiko and no one locally were able to repair it. My sister took it to Florida a local jewellers and they repaired it no problem. I always believe a good watch should be repaired and it will probably have memories to it.

My dads blind no bank thinks about those people. Cards are useless to him and I have to supply him in £1 coins and £10 notes. Going into a bank asking for these is like being interrogated.

Totally agree with you in the 1st paragraph.

Always have cash just in case £40 at least. I can control what I spend by seeing it.

Possibility mass/central cooking for troops and wood

so there is very similar out there for us Hexi lovers. Just got to look. Buying some tea lights to make and will be using all the above over the summer to try. Everythings worth a go.

Yep tried the gel blocks negatives 1. packaging ( he’s right it should also be able to burn this). 2. The gel block turns to liquid and worse 3. warms food doesn’t cook it hot enough. Those of us who head to the windy hills needs a boiling brew because it cools so quick and the food as hot as...

Will use this, have been looking for the larger 27g blocks. None in UK so far.

Going to have fun again trying all these. For the last 30 years I have used hexi & twigs in my hexi stove or on 3 nails. Just enjoyed the ease of them or I used gas stoves on some occasions, mainly longer hillwalks. Tried other fuels, have not enjoyed the experience or not got on with them. So...
