I have seen some videos where they stuff too much fuel in the kettle. So that when water is boiling there is still foot long flames coming out of the chimney. I guess they are trying to prove how fast it can boil water. But who is in a hurry when out and about.

@GrandadInTheWoods Yes. Well it is a prototype.

Someone had a photo of a new prototype Ghillie or Kelly, can´t find it. Can we get it here, the photo that is. That one looked quite interesting, I remember. Nae bother, found it.

What is it (for)?

Problems with Kelly and Ghillie (for me) is that for lifting off the burner one needs to put the hand above the "chimney" because of the way the handle is constructed. How do you lift it up without burning your hand? No, Petromax for me until Ghillie and Kelly makes a side handle. And another...

I would buy the Petromax 0.75l if I were to buy now, because of better handles than Ghillie or Kelly.

In Japan they are taught from child that an individual is nothing and the society is everything. In our western world individualism is everything.

Fiskars village interesting drink tap.

J-P Peltonen who is the maker of Sissipuukko used to be in Fiskars village. The company Fiskars have never had anything to do with Sissipuukko or Varustelekas knives. Fiskars company used to make steel but sold that part of their business in the 50´s. https://fiskarsvillage.fi/en/

Fiskars don´t make steel. Knife is made by Laurin Metalli in Kauhajoki but where the steel is made I have no idea.

I´ve solved this by being like bears. That is hybernating through the winter. Well almost. Fact is wintertime I go outside only when I must; go to work or shop for food. Otherwise I sit inside and would not dream of camping.

Why bother when there are so many good folding saws.

How about a movable garage?

I use maps.me to download and use maps in my smartphone. Downloaded maps are stored in your phone and can be used with your smartphones GPS without any phone or internet connection whatsoever. Only connection needed is to the GPS-satellites so in a forrest with thick canopy GPS might not work...
