    Hou canoes

    Having raided my piggy bank to buy the Grey Owl paddle I am wanting to hang it vertically flat. Have seen some for sale from across the pond. Would any of you know where I could find a wood hanger without importing?

    Muckboots?

    I have tried a few Wellington boots over the years but have always suffered with sore arches due to lack of support and boots being too flexible. The answer has been muck boots muck master boots they offer good support and I no longer have sore arches!

    What is the best bushcraft chair?

    I have the same chair it is perfect for me when I go fishing on my trike. In terms of camps I have a fold away lightweight chair from Aldi a fraction of the cost of other named brands. The chair fits easily into the front storage trunk of my vehicle I used it at the winter moot.

    What did you buy today?

    The stove is perfect for a situation where you only need to boil water for a brew. No flame control or simmer ring facility for slowing down the heating of food. Not sure whether the stove has the capacity to heat a boil in the bag type meal, I don't use such foods. To say it is made from...

    What did you buy today?

    The White box stove arrived today. Really pleased able to bring 300ml of water to the boil using 2 fluid ounces of fuel in 2.5 minutes after fuel bloomed. Use trangia 27 kettle which I think is the more stable of my pots over mugs. The windshield is titanium and is more sturdy than aluminium...

    What did you buy today?

    It will be a mark 2. I believe it has more holes than the mark1. It sounds as if the trangia kettle will be more stable as it has a wide diameter but is relatively low.

    What did you buy today?

    I am a bit of a stoveaholic. Ordered a white box stove. Not sure how stable it will be! I would be using a trangia 27 kettle or a Stanley cookset. I do like svea stoves but it would be more of an ornament than a working tool.
