A New Design of Alcohol Backpacker Stove boils water faster than a Trangia
A novel design "convection pressure" alcohol stove featuring both inner and outer flame jets. Click on the time here 7:28 to skip discussion on the limitations of other stove designs. This easily-made stove starts heating the kettle from the moment it's lit (no pre-heating, no "cold pot kill"), has no central cold spot, does not need a pot stand and allows easy retrieval of unburnt fuel for later use. As a bonus, it also works well as a charcoal stove, for a long, slow simmer
The rising column of hot alcohol vapour formed by the lower internal flame jets gently pressurizes the upper half of the stove, forcing the vapour out of the upper jet holes. After secondary ignition, these jets form ...

Our Neighbours Still Don't Believe Their dogs Bark!
Просмотров 71511 лет назад
We have had hassles with this neighbour for years He has no insight into how loud and long his dogs bark We cannot go outside without them barking and can hear them inside the house They are mainly a problem when he's not at home when they have free run of his back garden. They will often bark for 3 to 4 hours in the evening Our council has not taken any action, and at a mediation meeting the o...
Our Neighbours Dont Believe Their Dogs Bark - What do I do?
Просмотров 33111 лет назад
Our next door neighbours are in denial about how much their dogs bark We've kept a diary for three months, complained to the council, been to mediation, but nothing is done. The neighbours complain that we're either lying or exaggerating. At the mediation meeting is started to play 40 continuous minutes of barking but was banned as this was "inadmissable evidence" Short of shooting them, what d...
A Fond Fairwell to my Hand-Raised Wild Rats
Просмотров 8 тыс.11 лет назад
This is Kinky, the last of my hand-raised wild rats which I rescued as babies from our compost bin. He is now quite lonely, pining for his brother who escaped from their cage one night, so the time has come to set him free. Overall, the experiment hasn't been a success, as they were never really tame, but they gave me a lot of fun, and I'll miss them

"Tame" wild rats have a run
Просмотров 13 тыс.11 лет назад
My experiment with hand-raised wild rats continues. They regard the inside of my shirt and jumper as an adventure park, and if I don't hold the sleeves tightly closed, they'll be up there in a flash. They climb all over me, but I suspect they think I'm a piece of furniture rather than their carer.They still startle when they realise that I move! Oh well - perhaps it's a maturity thing (for both...

The wild rats I hand raised from babies are tame, but NOT domesticated. They will take any chance they can to run for freedom, even launching themselves off my shoulder to jump the fence of this enclosure I made for them. Fortunately they seem to like their cage just as much!
