Kilted Pict, I bought the same Tetrosyl for my Coleman Sportster 533. I've not tried it before either. Fingers crossed for you and me!
Bought a BBQ CHIMNEY STARTER CHARCOAL / COAL £15.99 looks to me like it is more than half way to being a decent wood burner stove. Looking forward to some tinkering.
Also a Turboflame Butane Gas Lighter £7.48 delivered.

Seems to work ok! Just bought some meths to preheat the stove to try and avoid flare ups !!
I bought some SPAM.....and a spec ops wallet.
I prefer Corned Beef myself
Got myself one of these yesterday (late xmas prezzy)
I'm sure it can do it's primary function of cut bits of rope, when in the canoe and light my stove
Anyone know how hard you could use it? Could you use it cut the timber ready for lighting? not splitting obviously
light my fire with fire starter
I got one of these in my survival tin, great little knife, got a whistle at the end as well, sharp and easy to carry

19 inflatable pillows @ 50p each
10 or 12 boxes of 25 steel tent pegs @ 25p a box
2 four man dome tents @ £2.50 each
3 Camping Gaz Twister gas lanterns @ £3.50 each
All from Tesco; they must have found old stock somewhere. A lad was filling up a big sale basket and I just said 'Put the lot in my trolley please.' I was in the right place at the right time.

A canoe - Mad River Explorer 16TT. Can't wait to get out combining my old passion (canoeing) with my new (bushcraft). Canoe camping here I come....
Just bought myself a second vapalux m320 and a stockpile of spares, now I have to work out how to sneak them into the house under SWMBO's nose!
Poped into my local surplus shop and picked up a new hex stove for £3 with a block/pack of fuel.
The stove comes with a insert to fit the crusader mug
I cut up one fuel block into four and timed how long water will boil in the crusader cup (approx 1/2 pint)
the insert jams slightly on crusader mug so a light tap is required.
I was told that these little stoves are ment to be placed in a dug out hole to stop wind and give you postion away, it certainly helps with the wind any way
Any way it took one hole block to boil the water approx 8/10 min's

Just ordered a DD XL tarp as fed up with having no room under my Eurohike tarp. Was going to get the regular 3x3 but I'm tall and didn't want to take any chances!
