They are the dogs what's umm's, Russ made me a 10cm billie a while ago and i use it every time i'm out for a wander. In fact i have just rearranged my day kit,it used to be
Crusader mug
Ikea cutlery stand hobo stove
and Billie,tea etc.
So i've now done away with the Crusader and got one of those Flexy mugs instead. Now everything fits nicely onto one another i'e Tea, powdered milk,sugar and Flexy mug all go in the 10cm Billie,then the Billie fits snuggly into the Hobo stove,all nice and compact.
I was going to buy a 10cm Billie but after a few Nan breads and Whiskey
Russ insisted not to part with my hard earned cash and that he would make me one instead. All in all its champion.I have mentioned it a "few" times to him, that he should start his own production line in these things,and not forgetting the Crusader lids, but does he listen....
Top Bloke and top Billies!!
Nice work wart hog! I like the log stack too
How much does one of those cost to make? I bet they are cheaper than a £15 Zebra can, Bargain!

Thats only about half off my woodpile many many spoons worth
lol ill give some measurements and costs the internal size is a bit smaller due to the holes where the handle wire goes through
small external 11.5cm x 9cm internal 8cm x 9cm £1.20
medium external 13.5cm x 10cm internal 9cm x 10cm £3.20
large external 16cm x 13.5cm internal12cm x 13.5cm £5.20
I've got a set of Russ's too and they are v.good kit indeed......how about using some of your woodpile though and making a handle to cover the wire? I've already mangled a pair of your gloves and one of mine as well
Actually that could be a new campfire-carving-must-have; a handle from wood that fits the billie wire the way the plastic ones fit carrier bags
cheers,
Mary

a billy for each day
I'd like to say well done Russ, but I can't see the whole pile because of those billy cans lined up infront!
Toddy ive got just the things you need to stop you getting burned
I dont like wooden handles because people tend to put more wood on the fire when your not looking. But im sure i can convert any for anyone nice beech handles on the lid and the wire handle ???
