Last year, wanting to make some time for my son and get him out in the wilderness a bit, I contact Wayne Jones of Forest knights (well known on the forum) to see whether his canoeing trip in Finland would be suitable. After a bit of too’ing and fro’ing, the details were finalised & a couple of...

Where / when will tickets be announced? Bushmoot.com? Also what's the damage likely to be. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

A Gary? I already have one of those, he's very expensive in beer.

I think these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-Universal-Outdoor-Camping-Gas-Lamp-Lantern-Replacement-Mantles-Cover/283263259638 are likely the same as these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-Standard-String-Tie-Mantles/dp/B00B110UKM/ I may buy both and see what happens.

Thanks Nice65 - it worked in a pinch, there wasn't a massive difference in size if any. There's a set of 10 I've seen for £3 with strings which might be compatible. I'll report back.

Stupid question I can probably answer, but all these "specialist" mantles that only fit x or y lamp - does it actually matter much? My Colman Dual Fuel 295 shiny new mantles got broken within 5 minutes of being fitted on site - big hole due to stupidity. As the local shop in Dolgellau didn't...

A big thanks to Tony, Shelly and all the mods as well as all my friends old and new for making an excellent moot, as short as my visit was! I look forward to seeing you all again next year and hope to make the winter moot if it's on!

Mine has been pulsing which usually means it has built up lacquer due to long term storage of fuel. Apparently the fix is soak it in pure ethanol and if I'm lucky that'll fix it. I went and bought some cheap mantels from a camping shop, cut the top cord and used some metal wire to pin it to the...

Just tore my new mantle :( boooo if you've got any spare I'll be happy :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

I've got a fair few of these with plastic lids. What use are they? I could bring a couple to the moot if anyone needs some. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Step 1, review previous moots and decide that it's not worth breaking the axle and to buy a trailer Step 2, buy cheap trailer, realise it's screwed Step 3, fix cheap trailer (now expensive trailer) Step 4, go on holiday to mallorca??? Step 5, realise you're going to scout camp before the moot...

Yep, I'll be there. Hopefully Tony will schedule it somewhere near the sandpit so I can keep an eye on my not so little one! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Oooh, nice. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Frankly there's plenty to do to keep you busy on your first time! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Same old cover, not much life left in it sadly but I replaced the elastics so it does look a little better! There's some on eBay for 5*3 trailers so probably will just buy one when I need it. If you find a material let me know! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

That's just rust. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Bit of fun for the day was rebuilding this trailer I bought in "fair condition" from eBay and only needed new elastic for the lid. As it was, the suspension units had rotted and by the time I got it home it was pretty much falling to pieces. I welded new plates (my stick welding skills are 2nd...

Yeah. That might work. But it's a long walk and the naughty corner is closer. Drink enough and you won't need the cardboard either. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

I disagree. The best thing to take is several bottles of rum and other assorted alcohol. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

It's fairly tidal and the banks are fairly steep. You may be able to do it though. Others have brought kayaks and I'm assuming they weren't just for decoration. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
