    BUSHLITE Candle Lantern shout out

    The locking pin slides into the notch which is a parallel slot, by increasing the width of the rear bottom of the slot over an area the width of the locking pin (dremel is your friend), you effectively have a simple detent, similar in principle to the bolt hold open notch on a Sten gun

    Candle lanterns vs LED's

    For the Bushlite, Jubla Stearin candles are economical at £6 for 20 but you do have to cut them down to fit. Each candle thereafter gives about 6hrs to 6.5 hrs. Best UCO candles are again best homemade from 100% stearin 2kg for £13 or about 50g per candle made up, so 40 candles for £15 (not...

    BUSHLITE Candle Lantern shout out

    brizzlebrush... As noted above I use cut down Jublas... the benefit is no drips or running wax as it is a 100% stearin candle and a very nice clean burn. On the spring issue, I just replaced mine with a new 18mm wide, 1mm wire 305mm spring which I cut down in half which is longer than the...

    BUSHLITE Candle Lantern shout out

    Ikea Jubla (Stearin) candles cut down to 105mm from shoulder to base (ignore the pointy bit) last a good 6.5hrs in a Bushlite and three fit in candle box without the cradle. Add a forth in the lantern and that gives over 24hrs light in the pack.

    Storm/Kelly/Ghillie kettles???

    Kettles are ok for boiling water but not much good for much else. Have you had a look at a wood gas stove, uses same fuel material as kelly and similar if not better efficiency but packs away smaller (normally inside a 14cm pot) and is more flexible. I have a 'wild wood' one, but very similar...

    Cheap Sporks

    They don't look like the official Fire Maples and may be a secondary run or stainless. I have two of the FM sporks (about £7 each), and they have definite ridges running along the lengths.

    Completely theoretical question on FAC air rifles....

    For cheapness, most manufacturers use the same parts whether fac or sub 12, usually just one or two small differences, i.e. hammer spring in pcp, main spring in springer, occasionally transfer port etc. Most modern guns are designed for all markets (i.e. FAC) and are de-tuned where required to...
