Magazine 4

[Zodiak]

Nobody else seems to have mentioned Issue 4 of the mag, which suprised me as in my opionion its the best one yet, particularly the "Campsite" and Firlelighting articles. :You_Rock_

I have been doing this for many years yet it still gave me new things to think about, I almost wanted to go out and camp in the garden tonight, but I don't do wet, cold and mud

I have to add that the cover gift is pretty damn good too. When my wife saw it this morning she commented that I was going to sit by the door until it was dark just to try it, ahh silly girl.

I went up to the loft straight away.

I would comment, but I haven't received mine yet.

What's happening with that Tony?

 

[MagiKelly]

Not got mine yet but they could be going out in batches. I know that the SotP Yearbook was delivered in three instalments. It may be the same with the BCUK mag.

Got my copy today, just finished reading Richards article on Damp Leaves tinder. Very well written, both in a practical step by step way and also a clear scientific/theoretical way.

Will read on tomorrow.

Cheers to Tony and the team on another good issue.

[Zodiak]

I have just noticed that my subscription is up! Is that a year already?

Good grief, mind you its one of the best £15 I have spent during that time. well, apart from the antibiotics I needed because I gashed my leg falling over in the woods at night, that was quite painful.

Received mine this morning. Yet another quality issue and the gift is just the icing on the cake!

 

[lostplanet]

...no, no I was pulling yer leg. The originals are called Photon, but they are hellishly expensive for what they are. These are (I assume Asian) copies - they've become known as ...faux-tons ...and are pretty much just as good, but a LOT cheaper.

try ebay.

Lighthound are excellent BTW - they ship to the UK fast, cheaply and easily. They are used widely by UK torch fetishists - highly recommended.

 

[lostplanet]

LMAO, how stoopid am i! wondered why i couldnt find much thru google!!! see what ya mean, photons are ridiculous cost.

found some on evilBay but i would rather give my money to lighthound. cheers

Check this out, the red one has a battery life of 120 hours - that equates to 6 hours a night for 20 nights. Blimmin impressive. Even the white ones last for around 12 hours before they start to dim, then a good bit longer after that.

 

[Zodiak]

My little Ionova LED torch has been on my Key ring for 6 years during which time it has only had one new battery, but I think it needs one now.

The only downside was that opeing it damaged the seal and the top doesn't fit properly anymore, so its not water proof and I have had to clean out the contacts a couple of times.

Now the BC one hangs on my key ring and the original one is in the ashtray of my car.

Great Sucess.
