The fire sites we used in Sweden utilised a truck wheel hub supported by mortared together stones. DSC02191 by Last Scratch, on Flickr This used a LOT of stone, but others used less. img_5129 by Last Scratch, on Flickr DSC01884 by Last Scratch, on Flickr

Hello, sorry about slow reply, been rather hectic. Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions, advice and insights!! It was really all appreciated. In the end, I wound up buying a lantern that no one had recommended, but its choice was absolutely steered by what you all said, and the new...

Second part. In some ways even better than the first if you are a GB owner, as it shows the production open die forging process in detail.

Post #13. The version before I posted had “…some folk, like the OP, are…” but I thought it would be more fun to watch than raise hackles so early. Post#14… :rolleyes3: Post #85 I rest my case.:lmao::lmao::lmao:

It’s hard to know from that opening post whether Bertie has wild camping experience, or what camping experience with the family they have. It is certainly possible to read it as someone with almost no experience latching on to a brilliant idea and getting fired up, but we just can’t tell...

Perhaps too much information and too many questions. Where are you expecting to do this UK “wild” camping? Scotland? Dartmoor? A permission on something closer to home? Where and with what have you made do on previous trips?

It was the cabbage. I had school lunches in the US, no cooked veg of any kind was ever on the menu, and the kitchen smell was nothing like that in the UK.

Titanium peanut lighter arrived this morning and in full working order. Thank you! Chris

PhD down vests etc. check eBay. Bought one on here years ago for a lot less than new. Super light, very warm, compresses to the size of a small melon when packed. For synthetic I have a light version of the Paramo Torres smock (was on sale). It is sized to fit over an outer layer rather than...

Number 4, the titanium peanut lighter please. Best regards, Chris

Interesting and entertaining.

I suspect that this is one of those unanswerable questions. Like…”Why do people use custom knives when Moras do everything?” Three reasons I think this: The length of time since the first folders. No one left to ask. Ask a dozen folder lovers today, in place free enough to carry whatever...

‘cause knives that can fold have always been, and will always be, cooler and more interesting than any fixed blade.

Welcome to the forum! If you are in the Midlands, you might like to consider coming to one of the Bushmoots, just west of Coventry. https://www.bushmoot.com/

Depends how much I want to show off! I tend to have some form of lighter with me, either gas/piezo or a sealed liquid fuel/wick version. I have ferro rods, and have used in damp, but something that makes a flame is nice and shortens the prep work a lot. I have not used purchased or prepared...

Hello and welcome!

I am not willing to entirely rule out that there could be a case for a lighter head that occupies the same volume as a heavier steel head…but…. The consistent use of deceptive marketing language in the advertising makes me think the aim is sell to the uninformed rather than make a practical high...

Hello Rob, I haven’t used many tents (mostly camped in hammocks) so might not have much advice but it strikes me that a little more info might help with advice from other people. Regarding second hand, do you have somewhere that things can be mailed for you? For instance, if something suitable...

Having been a devotee of tarps, and tarps with hammocks, for many years, I would suggest you look at trekking poles tents, and things like floorless tents and tipis. For example, One Tigris. Tarps can be lighter and compact, but those Aussie military stretcher hootchies weighted a lot for their...

I have a tea light lantern and a pressure petrol lantern, and would like something in between, running off battery (cool, no flames).
