Mind if I pull up a log, sit by the fire and swing the lamp awhile.
I promise not to ask to borrow any tools and I've bought enough coffee to go round!

Been hovering about in the shadows for a few months

Like many others I'm involved in Scouting, Sarf London
many years of camping and outdoor activities and a bit of sailing.

Cheers

Hi Boatswain,

Yep, squeeze in and get warm and smokey.

I'm in Sydenham, S.E. London, not far from the S London scout camp site in Dulwich. Where abouts are you?

Hi Richard

I'm from SW London and know Dulwich well but much more likely to be found at Downe or Broadstone with a bunch of Scouts who think you need the towering inferno to boil a dixie.

or with the family in the New Forest moaning that I can't use any of the dead wood to have a proper fire.

I've read a lot of your posts on fire by friction and wet tinder , but I'm still struggling with a firesteel.

Cheers Roy
