    Changing the liquid fuel in a bottle

    Yeah, I’m not planning on mixing fuels, it was more a question of how clean the bottle needs to be when I change the fuel type over. The manual only states “Empty the bottle entirely before putting in a different fuel.”

    Changing the liquid fuel in a bottle

    I have just got my first liquid fuel stove, an Optimus Polaris Optifuel, and I was wondering about how to go about changing the fuel type in the bottle.

    Guyline Tensioner Puzzle

    Top detective work lostplanet I then found the pdf manual for that tent and it had this diagram to explain how to rig the tensioner. So I had eventually guessed correctly on how it works…however it’s too late now as it is a PITA to adjust it compared to other options, so I’ve replaced them...

    Unfortunately not, different setup from those…weirdly tho I bought some of them last year and I might just use them as they work perfectly well and adjust easily.

    Guyline Tensioner Puzzle

    Nice suggestion, I watched a Tarpworm video and tried it, but it doesn’t seem to grab it properly :( Also there isn’t a tail as such as that end would be attached to the tent. I’ve emailed the manufacturer to see what they say…fingers crossed. In the meantime the best I can come up with is to...

    Guyline Tensioner Puzzle

    Hi Folks, I just got a new tent and can’t work out how the guyline tensioners work. The instructions are no use as they show a different type of tensioner (the triangular kind.) And I can’t seem to find this type anywhere on Google or YouTube. Any help would be massively appreciated :)

    Second go...a spoon/spatula to go with my Trangia cookset. Same birch as before, but I got some new sandpaper today to make this one a ‘smoothie’ :) I didn’t know this could be quite so addictive. Bren
