    *The* Gift-It-On Thread

    OK. Several of us have found that it takes several tries. It’s funny what folk like and don’t like but then we’re folk aren’t we.

    *The* Gift-It-On Thread

    No takers, no surprise :) I’m putting something together but I’m off with the tipi again for a few days. If In the meantime anyone wants part of a crushed hammock (it’s a lot jollier than a camo one) or the book offered by @FerlasDave then that’s fine.

    You are going on a 3 day trip and have to stay UK legal so what do you carry?

    Bring whatever knife you think that you really might need (if any) that you can get through the airport. I don’t carry any knife at all when I holiday (self catering or hotel) here in UK and I’ve never wished that I did have one.

    *The* Gift-It-On Thread

    WITHDRAWN.. sorry. My 120K has just smashed the tubular frame. If anyone wants to experiment with just the hammock (with its end tubes) I’ll post that to you as a “gift it on“ The frame is off down the tip. I’ve been rummaging and will post something sensible (ish) soon but I’ve also found...

    *The* Gift-It-On Thread

    OK. I enjoy this thread too much to let it stagnate. I’ve already suffered the curse of unwanted gifts and understand the problem. I don’t want the book but I shall accept the curse. I’ll make an offer - well, I’ll try - a soon as I’ve dug something out. Edited to add: I know I’ve said this...

    You are going on a 3 day trip and have to stay UK legal so what do you carry?

    I shall have my folding, locking, 10cm blade Opinel #12 in an accessories bag, in my rucksack (and in my car when I’m not pitched.) It will be accompanied by a lot of camping gear. 1. I do not expect to be stopped. 2. Should I be so then I expect that a polite and reasonable discussion will have...

    Tourniquet advice from a combat medic

    Now, well back I used to play the part of casualties in first aid competitions. Whenever I had a “trapped limb” the first aider was expected to ask how long I had been trapped. If it was longer than - (tries to remember) I think after 20 minutes or more they were not to release me in case of...

    Pork scratchings...yes or no?

    Have you read that the right way round? Teeth can certainly damage scratchings.

    Kelly kettle or the ghillie kettle

    I don’t have any problem lifting or pouring my Kelly Kettles but for those of you who do: this works. I’ve just lifted and poured both kettles from full to empty. I would recommend aluminium grippers with the broadest gripping face that you can find - but most of mine worked fine on either...

    Another solar power thread - advice & opinions requested!

    Careful!!! Look at your contact. I have six old panels and I’ve had them for ten or eleven years (can’t remember). We got them a couple of weeks before the scheme got diluted. Tony Blair wanted to pull out all subsidies so we jumped. If we changed our panels now we’d need a new contract and we...

    Kelly kettle or the ghillie kettle

    Now. Ref: @Herman30 You could well be right. But: Pictures of the Kelly Kettle in action depend very much on the state of daylight when the photo is taken. It Above is an evening shot. Below is full daylight. The state of the fires are not much different. Like any tool, you learn how to...

    Kelly kettle or the ghillie kettle

    With a bit of luck I might bring that prototype or the next version to the Classic Camp Stoves meet up. It’s an ultra-light version of the Kelly Kettle Trekker.
