my mate has the MSR dragonfly, sounds like a jumbo jet taking off.

My misses will never come out on a 'bushcraft' camp with me. However she likes camping in a tent so long as she can stand up in it, and that there is a toilet block near by. 'Not my cuppa tea' she says I think bushcraft is a set of skills you learn, then take with you to a camp, any camp.

it burns white gas, kerosene, and unleaded auto fuel. But i think you knew that already and just wanted to show off your new stove, which i like.

hi and welcome, i need to get myself a canoe.

I've just found my 3/4 thermarest prolite 3 which was hiding in a plastic bag in the garage, so i'll see how it goes when i start using it again. The only times i've used it before i've been very drunk at the bottom of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis after a long days hike so i would've...

Hi Chris, welcome, not far from me in south cheshire. Wouldn't mind a night or two out around your area. I know of a massive forest in the west mids somewhere.

At least 2 tins of beans has come along with me everytime, sometimes soup and tuna i love tinned stuff. It's cheap! I made a sausage and bean stew the other week.

Bum, belly, beak, bang!

good stuff, gonna do one myself soon. And welcome.

Thanks, mine warmed up a tin of soup in 7 or 8 mins, probably boil water in 10 mins so it will do for me, i can also put a burner at the bottom and lower the cooking pot. Got the idea off silverfox bushcraft (you tube).

I thought a hobo was another name for a tramp, so it would be a tramps stove. Therefore a hobo stove could be any, of many designs.

I haven't voted because....... I have a 17 year old eurohike 602, i used to like it when i was 13 doing the cheshire hike but i've only just started to use it again, all the waterproofing has gone all sticky inside and it seems to not fit my stuff in comfortably. I'm going to get a new one...

Depends what you use it for.

I suppose i just want to know that i can manage really. Still learning. Yea Pcwizme, i was a scout back in the day. We went on a summer camp and it rained all week, wasn't a happy little scout i must admit.

You're funny man!

I've recently got back into camping and more recently bushcraft. I've been out about 7 times for tea in the woods and a couple of camps in all sorts of weather, but never heavy wind or any rain. I want it to rain to test me out a bit, anyone like the rain or any sort of weather tickle your fancy...
