Hi Sam Hows it going.
For meths I use a trangia fuel bottle. It's a pain forking out a tenner but before I had that I used to take the bottle the meths came in then end up chucking it in the recycler. I've had my bottle for about 2 years and its still in perfect nick. You have to watch the pressure though if you ve,been out hiking all day in the sun, the meths sometimes squirts out pretty fast, as it did all over my kit. If its been hot, best to unscrew the top a little first. Ive got a 0.5 litre bottle which lasts me about 4-5 days if carful but that all depends on wind conditions and how many meals your cooking on an open fire rather than the stove.
Got the DD Travel Hammock through the post yesterday, went straight up the woods after work, was getting dark but got it set up pretty sweet. Your gonna have to check it out at the first aid course. I think I could do with a bit more messing around to get it just right. Its so comfy though nearly fell asleep. Didn't take my tarp with me to check the sizing out. I have a british army basha and got a feeling it might be a tad short for the hammock. Gonna set it up later if i finnish work early enough.
Take it easy
Matt
