Just got a little friend for my recently acquired, second hand Optimus 111 multifuel - a Russian Optmus 8r clone: Pictured above putting out around 4.5 kW together :D (although you can't see the burner flames very well). I bought the 111 a couple of weeks ago from a member here on BCUK...

Otherwise known as a Woolies cupboard storage shelf :) I've posted this on BB, but the BCUK crowd may find it useful too: Just in case anyone's interested, I was browsing around today trying to find a compact grille that I could use over a fire or make an impromptu barbecue, but which is...

Dear All, We've just had something of a disaster with our Victoria plum tree which has lost a main branch (with hindsight we should have thinned the plums out much more than we did, ah well...) As a result we are left with five carrier bags full of plums ranging from ripe and ready to eat...

I've finally sort of finished my first 'from scratch' stock removal bushcraft knife made for my better half. It was designed and sized to fit her hand, so is fairly small. I filed it from 01 stock to a convex grind and it uses black fibre liners and curly birch scales. Heat treat was by Mick...

I tried out my new camera's macro mode while away in north Wales last weekend: Matt

I'm contemplating taking my Swedish Army Trangia on holiday with us to the States this September, but I'm not sure if it'll be acceptable to transport it in hold baggage. From what I've read, it *should* be ok if unfueled, however I know it can be something of a lottery. Anyone any idea...

**Lathe now spoken for - deal done with buckshot** Many moons ago (about 8 years), I attended a greenwood course in mid-wales and made myself a pole lathe. On my return back home, it went into my dad's cellar where it remained until he moved house recently - best laid plans :rolleyes: ...
