[Midnitehound]

Just got a pair of these too. Nice heads up. Cheers Hound

Great. I also found this one with a spare Platinum catalyst cap at £5.

Inspect the silver ones carefully to make sure they are properly sealed. I had one off Amazon for £7.50 that was ill fitting or banged in the post and would have leaked like a sieve if filled. I am in the process of sending it back. A good one is an excellent bit of kit though.

I know a chemical solvent supplier that has Panel Wipe at £2/litre! A friend of mine has been using panel wipe for years, no problem. Watch out when buying panel wipe for its ingredient make up, you don't want to get the wrong type.

You are going to be well toasty on the cheap then! They do best in the inside pocket of a coat. I bet they'd be good in a kidney belt too even if just for easing a painful lower back.

A vintage axe from local seller. 1960s and 36" handle. Needs good clean. I have a couple of Fiskars, but fancied a vintage wooden handled one.
Will give a go making some fire woods once it is cleaned up and sharpened.

Usually over £20! Bought a Primus Handjet at the car boot for just £1. I added a £2 adapter that allows it to be used with the cheapy 220g 99p camping butane cylinders. Creme Brulee at the NC then and fire lighting will never be a problem again!


Of course I have now spotted these that run off the same gas with no converter and has Piezo ignition. £3.99!

Not today, but last week, I got myself a British Army Arctic Sleeping Bag after reading and watching several reviews. Used it over the weekend....what a fantastic piece of kit, even though it's bulky it was very warm and comfortable.

Can anyone tell me whether there is a better/ improved compression sack for this bag that will help with the pack size?

Cheers
