    What did you buy today?

    Only used it for little jobs so far but it is a well made "brick" with many nice touches. Comfortable handle so carting around is easy ( allowing for it weighs a ton but it is a battery) Has a 240v output that will power a laptop. USB out, both 2 and 3 so will power/recharge all manner of stuff...

    Kelly kettle hacks

    I would have thought it would soften, deform then fall in the water chamber !!! By all means its a good idea to save spills on way back from a tap but to cart around in a pack; not for me. Mind you I do like the Mat / Case a few posts back.

    Bear Grylls. Rate him or slate him?

    So refreshing that we can still find new points to argue over on an idea that has been thrashed to death! There might well be no winners in this debate but just look at the field of corpses of sentiments put forward !

    Dead mouse in my Kelly

    While all of the above seems excellent advice, biologically sound, practical, covers all the bases etc. etc. etc.; If it happened to mine, one of the first "Boys Toys" I got when I got back into camping years ago. Something which I hold close to my heart ....... Dust BIN, Hammer, Angle grinder...

    FlexiStove

    There are many things out there which cost a pound to make but sell for twenty; this seems like it costs twenty to make but should sell for ten! I started this tread with a review that I stand by but was written for an item costing a whole lot less. It does pain me however that this tread...

    FlexiStove

    Been using mine on and off a good few times now still shows little sign of wear, so I am thinking they are far more robust then I first thought. However at just on 30 quid post paid I am sorry to say I would not buy another one.

    Coffee at the Moot

    Sat and had a 750ml of my own roasted "Tiger Stripes". Nice but normally have a stronger brew. Got some Peruvian to try next and then will try a mix. The flour sifter did throw a few beans into the air and I lost them. Raw beans where sticking under the wire and next to the mesh, as they...

    Following the great tutorial on roasting your own coffee.... see below. Hot air gun will sit on its end, 3 bits of wood to make a "U" shape and rest the flour shifter on top. Before and after beans shown in the foreground. Not tried it at the time of posting as I want my grandson to grind it...
