Wanted: Hobo stove (swap for Muela Storm-W knife)

[Tagaeri]

Im Back, been out in the field since Wed on a mini meet with some friends from Southwest bushcraft.

Great! Southwest Bushcraft sounds interesting (I live in Cornwall)...

 

[Tagaeri]

He'll be back.

Meantime have you had a look at the hobo stove thread? It shows all sorts of mods that people have done to improve on an already good design.

Good luck with your swap mate, sounds like a really good deal for whoever trades with you. All the best in your new place too.

Thank you Biker!

Thanks crosslandkelly. That's what I was originally after but woodstock's bushbuddy stove looks interesting so I'll be giving that a go. Thanks though!

Im sure you'll love it, the only reason I put it forward is because I don't use it as much as I should,and a knife is always useful cheers.

I haven't the tools to cut a hole Im afraid

I made mine with nothing more than a hacksaw and a pair of pliers.

You can have a play this weekend, I have put some bits and bobs in to get you started, collect some pine cones or even a bag of prawn crackers or even some wood chip pellets they all work a treat.

 

[Tagaeri]

Got some pine cones ready and waiting! Hope you're pleased with the knife - it's a lovely piece.

Arrived today, thanks woodstock! Looks great - can't wait to try it out. Perfect! Thanks also for the included tinder - took me a moment to figure out why there was a tampon inside it What's the thing in the cake wrapper; cotton wool and wax?

No the tampon is for nose bleeds...only kidding, the cake thing is wax, cotton wool and fire lighter takes a spark very easy and also burns for ages, let me know how you get on with the BB its a great bit of kit, I spoke to the guys from Southwest Bushcraft they would be more than happy for you to go along.

 

[Tagaeri]

Brilliant, thanks - I'll take a look at the forum link you sent. I'll give the stove a go asap...
