Thank you all for your comments and contributions on this matter.
Apologies if the information has not seemed clear to some or provoked mistrust.
As another contributor has pointed out, there is a high possibility of ever greater scrutiny regarding chemicals, in fact you can guarantee that.
The risk for the bushcrafter is that in the event of aggravated contact with the police and/or a subsequent search of your home or vehicle, any controlled substances found could easily put you in deeper water than at first. As with firearms your average rank and file officer will know nothing about the law and most likely 'push the panic button'.
There are many substances that are used by a significant number of people in this community and I know there are some with considerable quantities of some of these.
I think the Home Office's stance on not licencing bonafide users of hexamine is a very counterproductive move but my opinion counts for little so it's a like it or lump it situation.
I encourage anyone to keep abreast of changes in this whole area and make their own choices.
Best Regards.
