In my world, I would contact the seller. to offer to send the burner back, for a refund of postage, as I would hope that if I'd sent something out by mistake they would offer to send it back, but that's just me, and the way I am...... cheers Ian....

Sorry but I dont believe you Ian.

If it was an individual seller or small company etc then yes maybe but in my world/on my planet if a big company does this its a result and a happy bonus.

For example if you had purchased something at a large shop, got home and opened it and it was more then you expected you would take it back? I wouldn't and I'm quite sure the vast majority of others on here wouldn't either if they're were being honest.

Hi Chis,

You have a fair point but I would never steal somebody's kit/property so I dont think its a fair comparison in this context. Its much more likely they have simply grabbed wrong stock off shelf then mixed orders up.

..however on reflection I'll contact seller, let them know and see what they say. T^

Just an update from them..


Hi there,

Would you be able to let us know which model of Trangia we have sent you so that we can work out eh best way to go forward from here.

Kind Regards

Summits Outdoor


Hi,

The model of Trangia itself is fine as I ordered the 27-6 UL and was
sent 27-5 UL plus the kettle which is same thing.

I only contacted you because you mistakenly sent out the Gas burner
instead of the Spirit burner, which is also fine because I already have
a Trangia Spirit burner. In the spirit of honesty I contacted you
because I know the Gas burner is worth a lot more then the spirit burner.

Kind Regards
Adam


Hi there,

Thank you for being so honest, and we have now bagged the dyslexic picker!!!

And to thank you for this we would like you to keep the Gas Burner as it was clearly our mistake - with our apologies.

Kind Regards
Justin


So I'm not sure if I actually did the right thing now as I would rather the company be out of pocket then somebody be out of job :(

So maybe in this case honesty was not the best policy, Hopefully they were just joking.

[Kernowek Scouser]

As has been said, the unfortunate picker would have got a rollocking, perhaps even a warning, but unless it was a final warning, it is very unlikely they would have been sent down the road.

But if you still feel bad, you could always auction off the mistakenly sent gas burner and donate the cash (minus postage) to an appropriate charity of your choice?

Or not.

[Silverback]

What a great idea colin !

I use lemon juice to descale my kettle (and shower heads), you can use plain vinegar but the taste/smell hangs about a bit and lemon is easier to live with.:D
(as an aside: they are both acetic acids, freshly squeezed lemon juice on fried eggs and chips is a tasty alternative to malt vinegar )

Rob

[jonni_uk]

I have been work in the food Industry over 15 years and I think Vinegar has acetic acid and tartaric acid and lemons have citric acid and asorbic acid (vitamin c). Lactic acid found in milk will remove lime scale as well but I would go with citric acid it is the strongest out of the 3. ATB Jon

[Chubbs]

Thanks Rob and Jonni.

I started to clean it yesterday with vinegar after reading up on the net, no good. Tried lemon juice. Very, very slow but I knew it was going to be a long job. The missus bought some descaling spray yesterday afternoon and that is as good as a chocolate teapot. But today I had a brainwave, caustic soda !!. The last time I used caustic on an aluminum pan I made up the solution the wrong way, I added the water to the caustic and watched in amazement as the pan melted in front of my eyes !!.

I know you shouldn't use caustic on aluminum but I'm desperate :mad:. I made up a mildish solution and left it for a couple of hours, and hey presto, never even touched it. I am now back to using a cheapo Dremmel type tool which is taking it off very slowly.

Also today I bought a shemagh as I've wanted one for ages, very impressed! Also picked up a pair of what I think are 58 pattern combats (have a NATO stock number but can't read the rest of the label!) for 1.99 and a nice stout stainless cook pot for 2 quid. Goat love charity shops!

[Silverback]

58 pattern combats (have a NATO stock number but can't read the rest of the label!)

are they DPM and lined with a FFD pocket on the right thigh ? 58 pattern usually refers to webbing, I think the British Army were still in Battle Dress in 1958

[Big T]

That's the ones! Yeach, got a pocket on the front of the right thigh and are lined! Any idea what they are mate?

[Silverback]

Yup they are British Army DPM, exact date depends on pattern but basically DPM was rolled out on general issue circa 1968, there was a revision in 1972 I think, another in 1985..after that the trousers were unlined...

[Big T]

Cheers mate, I was wondering what they were as hadn't seen any that has a pocket on the thigh! Have yet to try them on as there was no changing room in the shop but couldn't leave them there for 1.99!

I just went trough my 43rd birthaday this monday, and the kids got me a Twentyfour Men Varden Softshell jacket :-)

The thing is a 3 layer membrane jacket, with a water column of 8000 and a breathing of 3000g according to the manufacturer.

Nice as my old one is starting to show signs of being past it's prime after 2 years og heavy use :-)

My son has taken up airsofting, hes only 13 so cant go without a parent or guardian and i didnt fancy the idea of running around with him without the means to fire back !! They arent toys though this fires .2g 6mm BB's at 350 fps after being detuned !! Some airsoft sniper rifles fire 8mm .5g bbs at 700 fps ! ......so like being shot with a 12ftlbs air rifle.

Darn sight cheaper and more exercise than these consoles, the folks that go are friendly and passionate about what they do, he gets to meet new folks, and i get to spend really enjoyable quality time with my lad...so I dont begrudge shelling out.

It is mate. I spotted it a few weeks ago but he wanted a fiver for it. Today his wife sold me it and she said £2.00. I paid for it quick before he remembered me from last time.

Those UCO lanterns are liked by quite a few on here. Theres nothing quite like a gentle glow emanating from the end of the hammock to show you the way to bed after a few drinks around the campfire ;)

lol

Not tried it yet bud, waiting for candles to arrive then will try lantern once I get out :)

I have used the micro version in past that uses tea candles but I wasnt impressed. The larger versions that use bigger candles are apparently much better so thought I would try it out.

Got the brass version to make it look a bit more traditional :D

I've no idea if it is just my local shop, but I popped into Tescos earlier and they were flogging off all their camping and hiking gear for pence (a 90% mark down).

I already have these, but as I have not bought anything for a while and they were going cheap, I figured it would not hurt to have spares :D

My local shop is just one of the little ones, so not that much gear to begin with, but if the bigger shops with the fuller range are also clearing the decks, there could be some bargains to be had.

Happy Shopping.

[Big T]

Was that in st ives mate?

[Kernowek Scouser]

It was, there were tent pegs, a couple of rubber mallets, an air pump, a single trekking pole and a junior sleeping bag left after I had had my rummage.

I've only been to the one over your way a couple of times and didn't see much gear in there, but worth popping your head in if you are passing. I do know the big one up in Poole has quite an extensive range gear and I've snagged a couple of bargains there before, so if I get a chance, I'll be popping up for a look in the next couple of days.

[ADz]

Bloody hell those are some bargains. Think I will be trying to get into town tomorrow, Thnx for the heads up bud :)

It isnt for every day camping bud ;)

I have a 70ltr SnugPak RocketPak for car camping (i.e not far to travel to camp) and a Osprey Exos 46 for hiking/camping.



However I got this vintage pack simply for more older/traditional style, like the Daniel Boon challenge (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102932) on BCUK. I want to have a go at camping for weekend with none of the more modern gear I'm used to so wont be taking all my little bits and pieces with me and thus the 40ltr will be ample. I obviously much prefer more modern gear but really want to do it for the experience and for fun ;)

Here's (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107467) copper_heads report from his challenge, Looks great. I'm going to be doing it in November :)
