"A 'hoovered-over' toaster gathers no crumbs" - and probably wont boil either!

Hello Lurch, I think you will find that it is a 'hovered-over' electric toaster that never boils. BR, Peewit.

Hello Phil562, Thanks for the advice - and words of ‘worldly wisdom’. I guess we all have to learn how things work. Better sooner - than later. Thanks again for your help. Best wishes, Peewit PS. I am still smiling at the kettle!

Hello All, Another very satisfied customer!! Well, I have just had the first go with the kettle and it is superb. Grateful thanks are due to Graham and Outdoor code. I did overfill it slightly the first time - but the water spurt, although it went into the fire pan, did not put it out...

Hello Antonyyy and Lurch, Thanks for your comments. Yes, I do realise the amount of work - as I have done similar things myself. I was asking for an update. I previously mailed a week ago - asking about it. To entertain buyers, you may notice that I posted an historic advert for a kettel...

Hello Graham, Have you any thoughts about when my Kelly Kettle can be sent? My records show I wrote your cheque on 18th December 2005. Any chance of updating me? Best wishes, Peewit

Vintage Kelly/Volcano Kettle If you participated in the group buy of Kelly Kettles you might be interested in this advertisement from a 1961 ‘Scout Shop’ catalogue. In modern terms the kettle sells for £2.25p and the very useful container for 45p – postage extra! The...

Hello, Thanks for all the replies about landing here. Looking for knives, firemaking, looking for something UK related, personal recomendation, and many other reasons - or just arriving accident.... Anyway, we all seem satisfied with our connection. I am amazed at the info I have collected and...

Hi Abbe, Although the port you indicate looks like a serial, I would advise you to check in the manual to make sure. If you have 8 x USB 2.0, your machine sounds more modern that my three year old PC. Mine has 4x USB 1.0 plus a serial. My thinking being that often the latest machines dont...

Hello Graham, Please put me down for - 1x one pint - Kelly Kettle. Let me know how you would like to be paid and.... Thanks! for all the effort in organising this purchase. Best wishes, Peewit.

What would be the prices?

Hello Sahara, Glad to welcome you. I am sure you will enjoy BCUK. Any pictures you can post would be great. Best wishes, Peewit.

Hello, I may have missed this being asked before but - How did people discover the BCUK site? For myself, I was looking for a bannocks/twists recipe, because I couldn’t remember if it needed baking powder. That was six months ago - and now I have a thick file full of info and...

Hi Abbe, Cable to connect eTrex to PC serial port. Best wishes, Peewit.

Hi Abbe, There are three cables for the eTrex. - 1). DATA only cable, 2) a car cigarette lighter POWER only cable - and 3) a combo DATA/POWER cable which has three plugs/sockets. I bought the combo, but I always take spare batteries as they are so small, so I have never plugged it into...

Hi Abbe, You are right the mapping is not on the eTrex - but you don’t get ‘proper’ maps even on the expensive ones - just a GPS type ‘base map’ with limited features. My detailed mapping (Memory-Map) is on my PC. This is what I do…... Open up Memory...

Hi Abbe, I bought a GPS last year and being very non-technical found out the hard way how it all works. My comments as a compete beginner are. 1. Buy a cheap paperback book on using a GPS first. I got mine from Amazon for about £5.00 after reading their customer reviews. I found the...

Dear Bushcraft UK I am no technical expert and easily confused - so it has taken me some time to give you money. I wanted to give you money - but didn’t find it easy. I kept looking for an opportunity at the top of the Home Page when I logged in. I found it a bit of a hunt to get to...

At the age of eleven I wanted to sleep out alone. We lived on a small farm and I took my bag and groundsheet and hunkered down in the woods - well out of site of the house. At midnight my father let my faithful dog out. My dog came bounding up to say “Hello” – and then...
