I like the jetboil as it's very fuel efficient but at a price I also have a "Kelly kettle" aka "storm kettle" http://www.uk-preppers.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=12689 We've been off-grid for coming up to ten months now and the one bit of kit we've heavily relied upon is...

Another vote for the 'Bistro'/Flat/Square stove, in other words this https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.RWqJDvGEXEt9BK_ab08UxwHaHa&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300 Handy picture of the inside https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.fc4U0D39Q5ftf1te27WrXwHaHa&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=...

Okay, I'll push this thread back on topic a bit (step away from the cheesey savoury snacks). Another hidden benefit of buying a woodland is that you can apply for planning permission to have a portable structure on site and this includes the prepper's dream of a shipping container. In fact, a shippi...

As this is a prepping forum, I should also point out an emptied Treeselet tub makes a useful semi-airtight container. (That's what I keep telling myself, anyway).

Thats what I love about this forum, not only the helpfull members but the sheer amount of knowledge thats there. I wish we had a thumbs up icon for great posts. Cheers Fella, my wife and I love our woodland and will always share our woodland knowledge and experiences. The irony is, that while typin...

Thanks again Briggs. I've played with a few numbers, and no matter how I looked at it, it's never going to make sense financially. For a start, we currently only have a tiny piece of woodland (more like a few trees at the bottom of the garden really, totalling a bit less than an acre). I've been lo...

Deeps, I have not idea how tall you are, but I'd suggest getting a hammock that is large enough for you to lay in diagonal, not end to end like a banana. Lying across the hammock, diagonally, is considerably more comfortable than end to end, with your shoulders compressed and feet jammed together. ...

Thanks Briggs, certainly some things to think about there. I must admit to not even knowing the claimed output of the current range, but to be honest if I go ahead with this plan I'll probably need to invest in a larger more efficient one anyway. No probs - we've made a few mistakes and learned a l...

Got to ask, how much more comfy is it kipping in a hammock ? Yet again I've had a crap kip when heading out, I've got a better (well more expensive) air mattress and I suspect its me getting older rather than anything else. It wouldn't always be feasible as I'm more often at places without loads of...

I ran my previous home on biomass sourced from my woodland to provide all heating and hot water so I've been down the road you're thinking of taking. I was using approximately four tons of wood fuel per annum via a 20Kw burner. From my 7 acres of mixed coniferous and native broadleaf, only about a t...
