Beautiful pix, Russ! Thanks! Magnificent dog, looks part of the surroundings!

Hi Tony! Hi Shelly! To both of you and to all your beautiful kids, MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR

P.S. Happy Christmas to Spike too!

Hi Karen, I hope you are well, we haven't communicated for a long time but I don't forget my friends from the Moot, wish you and your family a HAPPY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Dominique-Nomade

We were a big family at the Moot, the ones who knew eachother, the ones who didn't, the ones who met, the ones who didn't directly meet, I hope all our posts here can be of some support and comfort to you now. My thoughts are with you.

I will be there and look forward to meeting everyone old and new! If anyone could give me a lift to camp from Bridgend Railw. Station Friday around 2pm (will give exact arrival time of london train), please text message me on 0790 55076 53 or call if you don't mind the expense. Many Thanks...

I will be arriving by train from London, will know the time of arrival when I will have my ticket which should be tonight (computer system at station had broken down so I was told to come back later, which means now immediately after writing this). Will come back soon here with precise...

I'll be coming from London by train too. Will know the time of arrival tomorrow and let you know. Maybe we can arrange going to camp together, hopefully in someone's car or sharing the cost of a taxi.

I have a tiny hobo made of a tin and will bring it.

You mention a "civvi Trangia burner" but I thought both the army and civvi burners were exactly the same. In fact the only thing they have in common...I may be mistaken. I heard that generally stainless steel is a poor heat conductor. Aluminium is a good one. Carbon steel is a good one too...

Someone asked about the toilets, well they are on their way: next episode (read in Radio Times). Composting toilets. Some people have reservations about recycling human feaces as they contain toxins and heavy metals. Today's modern human body is in fact unfit for releasing its waste into an...

Thanks for the info "Big Shot", question answered! It shows the American Red Squirrel is of a different genus to the other two (grey and Eurasian red).

Boston073, can you explain the history of red and grey squirrels in the US? I thought this grey v red business was a strictly British issue: the red squirrel is native to the British Isles and to Europe while the grey squirrel is an American species which in the UK one day escaped from a...

As everything nowadays has some financial direct or indirect purpose and TV shows being no exception (even the high quality BBC ones) like other people here I can't help expecting and suspecting signs of it...good looking presenters or great communicators, program aims at a wide audience, bit of...

Yes Husky, this happened to me too as in fact I had already tried this experiment but never actually cooked anything: the windscreen turned red and seems ''changed'' ever since. I have also the steel version of the Swedish army cookset so the windscreen would be made of tin I expect (this...

I just couldn't read all posts so maybe this question has been asked before. Apologies if it has: I have a Swedish army cooking set which is just the military version of Trangia. Like said in previous posts I experienced slow cooking and the problem of soot (from methyl. spirit). BUT has...

Brilliant piece of kit! I'd be interested in being part of group buying (size "Maverick" as I try to become equipment minimalist). Aluminium has its critics but I suppose the kettle like all kettles gets a limestone lining on its inner walls after a while.

Thanks Myotis. As bushcrafters in particular we can't escape reflecting on all this. Worldwide it appears that local people everywhere still using traditional open fires or variants to cook and be warm are now considered as significant polluters and deforesters on a global scale. While in...
