Fire! Ffffire!

[Bodge]

This has to be a classic fail.
At the recent Northwood meet a stray ember blew out of the fire and nestled itself onto my John Fenna leather pouch containing my brew kit. It went unnoticed for a few minutes and was only put out after a strange smell was detected. What did go unnoticed was the pesky ember had burrowed into my tea bags and was festering away. I was packing up at this point and was about to pack my brew kit away into my pack when I became aware of more smoke and a warm brew pouch.
I now need to order a new pouch of Mr Fenna. Hate to think of the consequences if I had missed it or packed away earlier.

:Wow:

Could have been worse!

Ah, that's Dragon hide for you.

Dang but you is lucky - I have some nice brown sets of pouches just awaiting orders

Trouble is John they are so hardwearing I only need 1 of the big ones to replace the burnt one. Do you have any odd ones knocking about? The base is about 9cm square. But could use one with a base about 10cm and about 27cm tall.

PM me with your details and a reminder of your needs and I will see what I have - I am tied up with work and courses until next week so I cannot get onto this immediately!

so a question is, if you'd limited the oxygen to the bag would you have had a traveling ember that you could control/make last till you wanted it hours later?

Possibly, but more likely a flaming backpack in the back of my new van and nothing to make a brew with whilst waiting for a fire engine.

Would of had a whole van to use...... oh yeah see what you mean

 

[Harvestman]

And the moral of the story is: teabags make a useful back-up fuel for a fire!

 

[Goatboy]

Nothing like a "Hot Brew", lucky you noticed but bad luck, still battle scarred kit always makes for good campfire stories! Good luck on the replacement, I'm sure the lovely Mr Pink will get you sorted.

 

[Tony]

yeah, sew the edges together and start telling stories about it

He's on it!

I may use it for other items but appreciate the protection a leather bag offers to ziploc bags of whitener, sugar and coffee.

You were lucky there for sure Kev :yikes:

As for the bag, sew a patch onm it and have a good story to tell

Ask Mr Fenna for a scrap of material when you buy the new one, turn it in side out.. bit of contact adhesive... little patch.. no problem... and you get to keep a nice bag with a tale to the dragon

 

[Tony]

Send it back as faulty, say it's a natural material that's supposed to be safe around fires, quote loads of consumer legal stuff and say you'll sue him, I'll let you have his address so you can go and sort it out with your mates if you don't get anywhere through the courts

 

[John Fenna]

Hey Bodge
Will this suit?
For some reason it did not want to post in my PM to you..

Patching scrap enclosed in the pouch
