Old lamp shade?

[Jarheid]

Hi all, I am pretty new to bushcraft n brand new to this forum, so s'up!! First post, so apologies if this is a commonly known n therefore useless piece of info. I recently made a Billy can put of a coffee jar n was looking for a handle for it, along with a stand for it for over my pop can meths stove. Had an old lampshade lying around and discovered that stripping the fabric off it provides a load of wire a bit tougher than a coathanger which works brilliantly as a handle, but also that cutting the central bit that fits over the lampholder provides an excellent wee pot stand, with a nice wee stand and a central hole to allow the flame to directly heat the Billy/ pot/ whatever you use. On top of that, the old plasticy material works as a wind sheild once its cut down a tad. All fits inside my Billy can with my stove, fuel and cup into my snugpak. Works wonders!

Apologies as this is also in kit mods but was meant for this section, still Gettin used to the forum lol
