Am going to try a beer can bottom next to describe an excuse to go and buy beer. But the deeper the dish should shorten the focal point to also provide some wind breaking of which might in fact aid matters. How it was I came to polish the end of an aerosol can was because I'd used a section...

Yeah I have already looked at this idea to find yeah there is some advice pertaining to drinking the condensate to suggest it's not potable due to what else may be in the water that the dehum has pulled from the air. Materials like bacteria, mold, dust, and heavy metals and I myself have seen...

Thanks, I guess my tent was a really early version to have the straight pole

My dehum, a 2 litre Meaco device was at the height of the heat back in May extracting about six litres a day but part of that I know from later recordings was how soggy my flat (25 sqm) was out here on the Devon coast in a place known known for high humidity, over 90% in not unheard of here...

Generally what pre owned things are worth is what folks are prepared to pay for them and followers of Saunders tents tend to be a more specialised bunch, bushcrafters am told and some more discerning backpackers probably oldies that perhaps pine for back in the day. A quick question to the...

I have a question about the single hoop pole set of which I have to replace on mine own due to longitudinal cracks in some sections and one completely broken section of which is what an unattended tractor did when it ran over the tent, a brake failure issue I understand and I watched it roll...

Have always liked the Saunders tents and still have my Spacepacker plus I bought in the eighties, in fact as soon as it came out, but from what I can discover about the Storm master is that is a simple sloping ridge or A-frame design and it like the Spacepacker is pitched fly first, to have...

And when evaporative cooling is compromised the next possible is air flow and in that a good old fashioned fan has been somewhat of a godsend in the heat we've had airflow of which can be aided by the soggy bandana tied about the neck. Also in my place and have not yet taken them down I have...

I'd just like to say I have just been out there with my aerosol can with the mirror polished bottom to try the idea out, to report, it's tricksy to get the angle to the sun right but the focus point, that is the point where the dry leaf I was going at started to smoulder and burn holes through...

Seems I have sort of adopted a couple of young seagulls since seeing a couple of them acting kinda odd on the ground to discern they needed water to have been putting out a bowl of water since for the two young uns to always turn up at the same time. If am going to adopt an avian I would rather...

Have tried to know the art is in finding the focus point. Did think to have another go this summer given how fierce that sun was given I for reasons unknown had earlier polished the concave end of an aerosol can to a mirror finish, but in the end I didn't Materials to polish to a mirror finish...

Yes Though finding a lump of flat concrete out in the sticks might be a feat. Have a fair few of the little Shelby P-38 openers attached to various likely use things and I have opened a can with a screw driver before, okay with soup, bit messy with other contents

Better would be if we could orchestrate another ' Don't be a litterbug ' campaign as happened in my childhood to well educate myself to deposit litter in bins where provided or take my litter home. That said there is not many litter bins about these days to wonder if their lack is part of the...

Am keeping the ones I have got as they work when the tech doesn't and of course I can still navigate by map and compass. Have been using the local 1:25k recently to locate the natural springs of which OS marks on their maps.... to find one of them that was running earlier in the year has now...

Eventually but not as quickly as clear Video explaining the technique with plastic bottles and water Video short describing how to start a fire with a glass bottle and no water Video explaining how a disposable drinks can can start a fire Way back when I was in the Venture Scouts I...

Home fire plan, yeah have sort of though about it given I live in a mid 80's timber framed building comprising of eight self contained studio flats, but living on the ground floor with two fulling opening top hung windows exiting on two different directions both of which lead to the road, am...

The other colour I carry out in the green to be able to drag out when needed is hunter orange But perhaps not a lot of use in the usual cloudy but have always carried a heliograph... of which I have used as a portable mirror and of course there is the head torch where mines ' SOS ' mode does...

Dunno if they would help but surely I'd try if caught in such a location where smoke inhalation is a problem, am still carrying FFP3 respiratory masks in both my day pack and my crossbody bag and of course there is also the bandana ' handkerchiefs ' I always carry given how useful they are...

And it was due a lot of this reason that I at the beginning of this year went back to using cash for offline purchases wherein I am back to dropping unwanted coins in charity collection box once more.

No not drunk, it's an affliction I have in that I don't follow the herd and in not following the herd I am not predisposed to jumping to conclusions based upon thus far no evidence found. Further because of my interest in bushcraft/survival I know there are many ways in which dry tinder can be...
