Hi guys ive only just started getting into bushcrafting ive allways like camping but i feel a little closer to nature with bushcraft

as ive just been skinted buy bills lol (dont we all) :) dont have much money but after watching some of your guys videos i found that alot of the stuff most poeple have laying around the house

i had this old kitchen utilities stand and after watching Justin's home made hobo stove it inspired me to turn this utilities stand to a hobo stove hear some pics of it boiling some water

Bril hobo stove, I did exactly the same thing when I first started out. Worked a treat.
Why I then spent £35 on a Honey stove, I've no idea. Doh !

Nice work XX - a nice shiny peice of kit result. Anyway, never mind the stove - how about a close up of that mug in the first pic. that looks like top totty! Does this explain the XX prefix/suffix?
Welcome to the forum mate.

Knocked one up out of a £16 coffee, tea, sugar and biscuit tin set last night. Taking it to Daves this weekend for first trials. Will let you know how it goes.

Just to resurect an old thread - Tesco have a nice stainless cutlery drainer in at the moment, all filled with the necessary holes idealy sized for the tent pegs, for the princely sum of £6 for those wanting a go at the hobo

I was thinking of it, but decided the free tins would do for now LOL
