    Honey comb!

    Your a bit far for me to be able to help.. but your best bet is contact your local bee association. There will likely be a local keeper who can supply you some. Chunk honey is often the closest thing you will find commercially. The market for honeycomb is limited, and usually I only get some...

    Sharpening Stones/Kits - Purchasing advice please.

    Thank you. I think sadly I was probably being a bit over optimistic as such, hoping for a single solution as you rightly point out. I am considering, getting an axe stone, lansky for the hatchets as I already have tool files and then a combination 1000/6000 or so Japanese wet stone for the...

    Bees Wax - Genuine, uncut, and no chemicals. Do people want?

    Hi Folks, I keep bees. I have a fair few hives and though primarily I keep them for honey and interest I collect bees wax after extracting the honey and other things during the year. Most of the time I trade it in for new pressed foundation. However I have a few traders who buy/trade for wax...

    What do you use as a ground sheet / floor for your lavvu?

    Hi Folks, Needing some help. I need some flooring material for my Tentipi Varrie 9. In the past with the Relum bell tent, I used some rather cheap PVC grey ground sheets. They were ok, but wound up with holes in them where chair legs/beds pressed down on it. They were cheap enough to replace...

    Do stainless steel wood stoves eventually rust?

    bigroomboy - any chance of a photo of how yours looks blacked up? rik_uk3 - doesn't coal burn hotter than wood? Surely that would risk getting too hot, wouldn't it?

    Do stainless steel wood stoves eventually rust?

    Hmm. So are you better in fact, price wise. Buying a steel wood stove and just painting with stove black? Not seen a black eldfell or helsport yet on any forums, so suspecting probably not. lol.

    Do stainless steel wood stoves eventually rust?

    Hi, Been contemplating a wood stove and the various options. Whilst doing some browsing, I see a few reviews for the Helsport Stainless Steel wood stove for their tents, yet, the ones in the videos are nearly all rusted like heck. Surely if they are stainless, they shouldn't rust. Or is the...
