A Wee Play In The Garden...

[Jinsin456]

Got some new shiney things today after seeing them at Glentrool and couldn't wait to try them so I had a wee brew in the back garden and got to play with my new toys

Oooooh new shineys...... not shiney for long

Had some kindling left from the chiminea (Sp?) so batoned that down into bite size pieces for my new toy

Got it lit with some tindercard, no action shots of me with my firesteel, was home alone The baking tray was a vein attempt not to scorch the grass. It kind of worked.

Another new shiney being blackened!!

After about 10 minutes and several sticks later, it really is a very relaxing thing keeping this wee beauty going, my water was nearly at a rolling boil...

Which made a lovely brew!

I'm over the moon with this setup so expect more pics to come of it all over the place!

Nice one there. I have been looking at the stove for a bit now. Do you think there worth the money or just stick with the hobo. I had a day in the garden too but doing slightly more mundane things like working on my van.

 

[resnikov]

I think they are worth the money, very versitile with being able to burn wood or us a meths burner in it as well.

I second that - and they pack up to nowt

 

[Jinsin456]

They're definitely worth the money bud great little things and very versatile.

Jason, I already have the civvy Trangia burner so that will be getting tried out in the stove very soon just the novelty of burning wood took my fancy today

With the trangia burner it does say you can just use 4 sides and have a sqaure stove, but I found that to be a little wobbly, if you use all 6 the plate with the hole in for the trangia it works really well.

I did the same with my coke can stove but shoved tent pegs through the holes and it got rid of the wobble.

Ooohh nice..

Get the pine into it for a nice sticky blackening.

Been thinking of the honey for a while but think my old hobo set up is up to my needs.

So spent some dosh on one of those compasses that slide on your watchstrap.

Oh and a scout hammock for the daysack, so I can get a wee lie down after venturing 200 yards into the wilderness..

Nice 1 Scotty , aye yer getting the gear bud , next a u need is whitebox meths burner , it goes well with the honey stove ...
oh my shiney's

 

[Jinsin456]

Haha it's a never ending money pit this bushcraft malarcy!

Think that was pine I was burning cos the bottom of the billy can is basically painted black although my tree identification is terrible. It was petrol station kindlers so I'm guessing pine.

We'll need to get out soon and try out our new stuff, or possibly go camping, I'm dying to get away again lol

Was thinking of making one out of the Lynx cans but will leave that for another day, got the Tranigia burner in the mean time.

I need to stop coming to these meets so I can save money rather that turning into a Magpie and having to buy anything that I see that's shiney!!
