    I want sticky camping...not slippy camping!

    I tend to use a bivi bag to ensure everything stays dry. So I put both the sleeping mat & bag inside.

    oil bottle with brush

    The item you're looking for is Napier Gun Oil which used to be available in a bottle with 2 lids, one housing the brush, the other a spout. I've just done a quick search on google and cannot find a supplier, even Napier don't list it. It appears that www.mccloyguns.com used to stock it (Model...

    Nobody inspired by Uncle Ray's latest kit?

    Surprised I've not seen a thread asking what the brand & item details are for the new kit Ray's using in the latest series 3 of Wild Britain :) I'm not taking the mickie as I've been interested in many items of kit in the past. Must say he's got a very nice all leather rucksack though.

    Flint and ???

    When you say a 'solid lump of pyrites', do you mean the type that's otherwise known as fools gold, or do I recall there are harder nodules? And if so, where do you get it from?

    Flint and ???

    Red I too have tried iron pyrites in the past as I'd heard of it, but when I tried it just crumbled - any particular tips? Cheers

    Flint and ???

    I'm reasonably experienced at firelighting as I'm sure most of us are. My prefered method is the flint & steel as I like the link to how our forefathers started fire, although I am practised at most other methods including friction firelighting etc. I had heard that it was possible to generate...

    Antler handled fire steel

    Hi, I've just made myself an antler handled fire steel / ferro rod. Please can anyone advise whether I need to apply any surface treatments to the antler? Apologies if the questions been covered before, but I couldn't find an answer when I had a brief search.

    Guyot Designs Stainless Steel water Bottle 32 or 38 Oz

    Cheers Leon, I knew I'd seen something similar to the 'punch plate' but couldn't figure out where from. I've previously made a windshield in exactly the way you mention for my hobo stove set-up. Now kicking myself for not figuring this out for myself. Thanks again, BS

    Guyot Designs Stainless Steel water Bottle 32 or 38 Oz

    Rich, I too settled on the 1L GSi Glacier Dukjug, which I've found nests perfectly with the Tatonka Stainless Steel Handle Mug. Is anyone aware of whether there is anything akin to the Pathfinder Stove Ring & Pathfinder Bottle Hanger available in the UK? Cheers BS.

    A warning to all venturing out...

    A quick search on the web gave the following answer, on the website of First Alert who make carbon monoxide alarms: "Carbon monoxide is not heavier than air. The diffusion of carbon monoxide in air is relatively even, meaning that a source of carbon monoxide can distribute the gas evenly...

    Tentipi, why so expensive ?

    I've had a 7 man Arran for a few years now, and I must say my experience has been without issue. The quality of materials & construction is solid. It's like a lot of things which need to be put into perspective, there are cheaper tents but you get what you pay for. It's probably more...
