I've seen the drainer/750ml pot being used as a hobo stove before - the same kit is available in ikea and I'm sure someone on here has mentioned it. I seem to recall it needing a bit of modification. I think the sides were cut out a bit to let the air flow through properly as the holes were a...

You do realise that he's gonna hold you lot to all these beers at the moot :D

Dave, it's no accident that the word 'crazy' appears in front of your name is it? ;) :D

Shaun, you are a lucky man having a good set like that. Something to take pride in every time it's used. Bernie - Nice work! By the way Bernie, you have pm.

Not worth the effort full-stop I think is the general opinion. I've always liked the idea of these solar stills. It gives the impression you just make it then sit there and let the sun do it's stuff and you get a drink of water for very little effort. I suppose that's why the books...

Where's your axe? :p

Have a good time guys - I'm working all weekend Maybe next time eh? :(

A chair probably would've been more relaxing ;)

Well thank god for that :D BcUK's gone down... no, it's back up... nope, gone down again... looks like it's fixed, I just managed to che... ...no, it's gone again. I'm knackered just reading about it and trying to get in, so christ knows how Tony and the guys feel. Nice...

I'm not sure there is such thing as a 'concealed weapon' in British Law - weapons are not permitted, either concealed about your person or visible to all. A sub 3 inch slipjoint would be fine either in your pocket or in a fancy pouch. As long as no one has good reason to believe it is...

Dunno, Mike's taking care of it I think. Some time in June was mentioned but I'm sure he'll let us know.

Whatever you're doing and wherever you're going you will always pack too many spare clothes. As long as you take time to dry things when you can and practise good hygeine you can get away with very few spares. Socks are a must though. :D

Where did you come up with the idea of spreading these ashes for the 'spirit of the fire'? Was it some old tradition you read about or is it your own thing that you just like to do?

I was thinking the same thing. And he doesn't look as 'focused' as you would expect if he were chasing an insect. I'm fairly sure a Goldfinch wouldn't have any need or desire to chase an insect but an interesting pic none the less. I'm always impressed with your pics Red :cool:

You probably made a good decision there - the early hours of Sunday were damp to say the least :D A small amount of foraging was done none the less :) Shame you couldn't make it. 'Next time' is apparantly being arranged as we speak (Mike?). Keep an eye out here.

Aint that always the way :rolleyes: Try 'roughing up' the surface of the crampball to give the spark more surface area to come into contact with. This also helps to hold the spark on the crampball instead of it bouncing off. And make sure they're very, very dry. You shouldn't have...

Am I seeing things or did you manage to capture it chasing some type of insect?

Then you are a very lucky woman ;)

Yeah, no worries, I'm sure no one will mind at all. It's been a while since we had a new face :)

Stick a magnet on it, it won't stick to ally. Looks like steel to me though :(
