    billy cans

    Hiya guys,
    Anyone know where I might be able to buy 10cm zebra? They seem to be Rare as hens teeth.
    Unfortunately the larger sizes don't fit in the Ikea drainer.

    +1 for Military Mart.

    A great company to deal with. Have bought from them in the past and delivery is quick.

    Hi again
    Thanks for the welcome,
    Called the Bushcraft Store today and it seems Zebra no longer produce the 10cm billy.
    I'll see if I can find the one you mentioned Ade.

    I have one of these, it fits easily into the Ikea strainer and comes with two good size plastic insulated cups and a lid. It seems good quality and in my opinion well worth the price. It took about five days delivery at standard rate,, Comes from America.

    Tin can or coffee can + nail + wire coat hanger = billy can
    A very old blog post on the subject http://woodcraftinpoland.blogspot.com/search?q=billy Mind you, I'd go big if I was getting an off the shelf pot. I've actually been tempted to get a stainless teel catering bucket and use it on a back frame http://woodcrafterslog.blogspot.com/...ival-kits.html
