    Finally retired my Trangia 27 kettle in favour of a stainless steel Eagle kettle.

    Let’s see your cook kits in use.

    Following on from my trangia triangle cook set up. My lightweight brew kit consists of the white box stove and titanium mug to boil water in. I use a piece of foil as a lid. Would be grateful if any of you know where I could get a disc of titanium to fettle a lid?

    I like the modified handle. How have you hinged the handle to the jubilee clip? Does the tube attached to the jubilee clip have a shoulder on it to prevent it from coming loose? I recently added a wire handle to my Zebra pot using copper ferrules.

    Why is living in the midst of nature forbidden?

    Too often these days we are seeing examples of the Dunning Kruger effect which in short is novices having too much confidence in lack of experience.

    Knife raffle

    Rob Evans of this parish is offering a knife in a draw to celebrate almost 2000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. Sadly not one of his own make but worth winning nevertheless.

    Axe puck case

    I would go for a hard case as the puck material is quite brittle if it is made from the same material as oil stones. I carry some honing oil in a vintage Lee Enfield oil container. I understand you can use water as long as you only use either oil or water but not both on the puck.

    Advice on silent camouflage waterproof gear

    I see Go Outdoors have them on offer at £255 at the moment. When I got mine in the Summer I got it for £240 as I found a cheaper place on line and Go Outdoors matched it and reduced by a further 10%. On a further note it is quite heavy in weight and warmer than goretex which I always found cool...

    Advice on silent camouflage waterproof gear

    I have a paramo pajaro jacket which is drab green and very quiet, ideal for bird watching. If it gets snagged it is easier to repair than goretex as you can sew it without affecting the way it works. They are costly but so is goretex.

    Where to buy Berghaus Crusader or Vulcan?

    One of my biggest regrets in terms of letting go of gear was selling my Cyclops rucsac for peanuts. Wish I still had it it.

    For Sale Four Nice Folders

    Lol. When I read folders I thought it was the A3 A4 type of folders and I was wondering what was bushcraft about them?

    Best piece of kit purchased this year, 2020.

    I would have to say my canoe was the best item I purchased this year. It helped a lot whilst I was furloughed.

    Joining the canoe world.

    You won't go wrong with anything by Ray Goodwin be it video or written word. In terms of inspiration for trips Simon a Bloke in the Woods videos are good, particularly his trip with Kent Survival to Sweden.

    What are you buying yourself for Christmas?

    After much deliberation I have treated myself to a Winnerwell Nomad small stove. Very impressed with the quality of the stainless steel construction. The fold away titanium was just too expensive. The small Nomad will be carried on my trike.
