The knives with the black Bexoid scales where in production up until at least 1952 with the ones for the Belgium army even later , the earliest know production is 1939 but its claimed they possibly go back as far as 1933 but I've never seen any before 39. The all metal versions were briefly...

Could try I suppose, mind with my bcack handedness id probably blow myself up! Cheers Tom

Bit of a mix today, stuff ordered and arrived today, some zip bags from the charity shop. And some sale bits from a camping shop i popped in to. The GSI Pinacle frying pan arrived from Germany intact, didn't get hit for import duty or what ever they do. I'm chuffed with that one, Cheap...

Booklets, stove and stand all arrived. I'm very impressed. Need to get a new heat proof soldering mat as the one inthe pic is fraying atthe edges and I think the electronics nerds in the house would object if I sloped off with it! Atb Tom

Nowt particuarly sparkling but they may be of interest as users, the particularly cheap ones. Iike the Okapi (?) and the gardening IXLs ill doas job lots. The pouches at the bottom are empty, why I have so many I've no idea. AtB Tom Ps I'm really liking this not having to upload to imgur to...

Just ordered and due tomorrow, a Soto WindMaster 4 flex gas stove and a Optimus cannister stand. My old 1st generation Pocket Rocket wass showing its age and after reading the reviews of the Soto and the Pocket Rocket deluxe we went for the Soto mainly because its less bulky, you get a longer...

Sorry for dredging up this old thread but I've come to the conclusion ( been hounded ) that I really can't justify having six presure lanterns so I've decided to move on three of them to make room and fund other toys. I've had my fun restoring them so herself has got me full membership so I...

Thanks Mary! Great vids I think I may nick the soldering mat idea and I must get one of those gas canisters stands, I've been meaning to but have kept using a small cutting board thing with grooves to match the base of various sized cans on one side, not the best solution. Atb Tom

Cheers! I'll get a adult to find your channel for me. By any chance and you recall the seller you used? We've got the rolls of plastic we got at the same time as the sealer and a roll of narrower Thicker stuff, aquired from somewhere , no idea if it's food grade or not. ATB Tom

Cheers,all in put gratefully received as we are complete newbies at this. Found a UK shop that does mylar bags as a specialty. https://www.mylarshop.com/mylar-bags So will have a poke about there as well. Atb Tom

Yeah saw them but no idea which ones are genuinely good since the reviews ain't something I would take as gospel. Didn't enter my head to reuse bags, unfortunately I don't drink coffee but I'll see what else we have similar. Will they take boiling water or would it be just for carriage? We...

Ordered 4 books from the Creek Pocket Field Guide series Survival Tarp Shelters and Wilderness Survival Breads, Hard Tack, Ash cakes, Biscuits and Bannocks for myself and Bug out bag recipes and the one on Survival Vests for herself. No idea why she wants the latter but the former has...

Since herself has a couple of dehydrator and a decent vacuum sealer we thought we would have a go at making our own single portion add boiling water meals. Could anyone advise on where to get suitable mylar bags in the UK, which ones to avoid and where to find recipes/ lists of ingredients...

Ordered last night and arrived today I finally have a racing spork! 9.65 inches of titanium goodness with a wider and deeper bowl and a lovely long handle for reaching into other peoples bowls while they aint looking! Or more properly getting into the bottom of freeze dried or boil in the...

Got around to waxing the rest of the bags folk wanted, The beeswax rich version of the gloop proved to be a bit sticky on the bag I applied a lot to but I simply had to take the hair dryer to it for a few minues and buff some of the wax off the outside. For the second batch I added more of...

Once it arrived i discovered the lid from the MSR Titan fits the Evernew 570fd spot on so that will do until I win the pools. OK since it fits inside the pot it restricts how much you can fill it, 450ml tops but on the plus side its flatter than the Evernew design so it will fit under the...

Cheers for the input folks. Once the beeswax had melted in the double boiler and allowing for pinning the squares down it took between 10 and 15 seconds to wax each square using the hot hair gun and brush method. one thing, don't use a synthetic brush as the heat gun can cause the odd...

Since it was sunny out P finally got around to waxing some two for a pound charity shop waxed zipped bags and made some beeswax impregnated food wraps. I d washed and dried some 100% cotton, about dress shirt weight and cut it into roughly a foot square pieces with crimping scissors. I used...

Yeah, it's always the same with me After a couple ofdays I dont see the iffy bits so long as they dont actually affect the use. Anyroad, since the weathers picked up we are off for a bimble tomorrow so I've just baked a batch of 5 inch diameter almond and sultana bannocks to carry in it as...

Just ordered and should arrive next week GSI Outdoors Pinnacle 10 inch frying pan as the one we've been hammering for about 20 years finally gave up the ghost, under the baked on crud the Teflon was flaking off in big ragged bits and it was no longer safe to use. Evernew light weight 570fd...
