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...

Hi, Well I am probably like many folks.. Love bushcraft, but in reality I spend far more time in the kitchen using knives than anywhere near the bush. I have a real fire, so axes a plenty and to date I have never bothered much looking after them, in fact I haven't realise quite how dull and...

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...

Alas, my poor old, long served firesteel, and magnesium block I bought many many years ago, has just run out! Now the mag block was ok, but the tiny fire steel was too small and too thin, and now most of the magnesium is depleted. I am looking for a wider and longer firesteel. Question is...

Hi Folks, I had a good search on the forums, and couldn't find if anyone had actually done any comparrisons on quality and performance for these two stoves? I have a tentipi varrie 9, and am looking for a wood burning stove for it. What ever I buy, I want it to last and I don't mind...
