Pink Dihastuis are good for that as well.....:D:D:D But dont tell His MUM

Just used the Esbit Burner never timed it before, I' ve run out of Esbit blocks, I find Esbit blocks to be better so used 1/2 a normal hexi block (miltec make - cheap and nasty, lol), still had some left after, put 400ml of cold water in and that boiled in just over 10 mins, as I say not that...

Not had much to do with the Primus eta, I have heard some good reports, yet to try one myself out in the field... better go hunting to see if i can borrow one for a weekend out in the wilds.... :-), Have used other Primus kit over the years and found no problems with them, apart from personal...

For Wild camping best bits of kit... Hammock and Tarp In my experience of cooking out doors, there is a lot of good kit out there, the best one in my opinion would be the MSR Whisper Light, its a multi fuel stove that will use petrol, diesel, paraffin, and gas, you can get a chinese copy for...

looks like a good day was had by all, as others have said violets lane don't look that bad after all the rain we have had,

**** Geoff, thats bad new mate, hope things go well mate.. take care

Yeah GL-4 in TX, you can use GL-5 in the Axles, as there are no phosphor bronze in there, I believe this applies to all the older model gear boxes, I cant be bothered with 2 oils, and just use GL-4 in all, the only real diff is the GL-5 handles higher gear pressures, but hey we tend to change...

Just in case you have not been told, in the gear boxes, only use EP90 GL-4 not GL-5, Some GL-5 has additives that like the soft bearings in the gear box and can attack them, and eat phosphor bronze... Its not all GL-5 Grade oil that does it but the additives that some manufacture put it it.

Merry Christmas to you all...

Thank you bud, its good to be back, hopefully I'll catch up with you soon

Yeah it takes a while for the displacement to adjust - until the thing fills up with water, if its anything like Patch now water will rush in lol.... until then it can bob around like a cork :D, all adds to the excitement, its surprising how little flow it takes hitting the sides, even for a few...

I know you are Brian, done a few miles off road with a number of the guys on the Essex Thread, Just posted it to show how easy things can go tit's up, any info is handy , just in case others don't know how much water can have effect... Dont mean to cause any offence to anyone

That's a possibly, one thing to remember is that a square meter of water on the side of an object is a metric tone of weight, on the basis of 5 to 7 square meters of area, to a Landy side, and the fact that they take a while to fill up with water and float until they are fully submurged, this...
