Two things:
1. I already have a Ghillie, so I won't be in the GB.
Having said that, my Ghillie is one of my most-used bits of kit. The one I have is just the right size to fill a hot water bottle.
2. Be careful if you're using one of these things for the first time. Make only a small fire with a handful of twigs, don't rush, give yourself time to get used to it. If you make a big fire in them they boil water VERY quickly. Think jets of boiling water several metres long, and take a look at the photos of my hand...

does anyone know if the corks from a kelly kettle fit the ghillies ? i was after a kelly one so i can keep water in it but the ghillie seems cheap this way if i could get a cork for it too i may be interested?
The whistles hold water in the ghille. And trust me they are well made and not cheap. I'll check about the cork

i meant cheap as in tempted over the kelly not cheap as in build quality... i was on the kelly kettle site earlier and they sell corks just wonder if they fit lol..
how does the whistle keep water in ? will it carry without leaking?

The whistle fits right over the nozzle and only has a small hole around the edge and I just checked it and only a couple of drops dripped out. Also I have spoken with Steve from Ghillie and if you want a cork he can sort you out with a cork for one for only a small amount more.
