    Batteries

    I have 20 AA enloop and 12 AAA. I've had the AA for some 3-4 years now and recharged them many hundreds of times. I can used them in my lanterns and they will last all week out camping. Originally bought to run Nikon speed lights and they recycled the flash just as quick as the £500 Nikon...

    pot cosy material, what to use

    Thermowrap! I noticed that at my local Homebase, they would reduce a full roll by a third if the label was missing or it had a slight tear in it. I bought a full roll plus the tape for £15 and it'll last for years. Used a long length for under quilt in winter and works a treat. The best use...

    First ever attemp at Sloe Gin...should be ready by NewYear...Pic Heavy

    I've been told that if you drain it when ready simply pour medium sherry into the left-overs for another go. I'm planning on trying it when mine is done.

    Who uses a vacuum sealer for foodstuff?

    Mine is called a BIFINET and I bought it from Lidl about three years ago. I use it everytime I go out and wouldn't want to do without it. Many uses from sealing tinder to packing foods. If I take a cooked brekkie out with me I'll decant the baked beans into a bag and seal it then drop that bag...

    Wild Woodgas Stove Questions

    I have the newer version and I also had a clone with the old pot support. The newer pot support is much better IMO. It will support just about any weight you put on it and just about any size. To the the Trangia burner, simply place the Trangia lid in the pot upside down ( not the simmering...

    I've heard all all about "Tidy Ivan" and his logs before! And what's the cheap plastic Brandy bottle man? Haven't you got a decent hip flask with your name on it (or two for that matter). Looking forward to seeing your tidy logs up close at half term.

    Sloe Gin

    I did Damson a few years back and it was lovely. Tested every 3 months and a little more sugar added if needed. Superb. A friend of mine has a variety of plum trees in their back garden and a few Damson. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

    Just did my test too. I won't bother to upload the vid as the results are similar to the others. Cold tap water (not sure of exact temp), snow peak ti jobby with 500ml water took 5 mins 45 seconds. I used a trivet on the burner, but as stated, you can sit the pot directly onto it. Sent...
