  • Did you know that using a hexamine tablet stove you could face up to 2 years imprisonment? This recent change in the law affects any wild campers that use the good old british forces military hexamine stoves for simply making a cup of tea!
    Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.

    Given that most people who possess these will only have a small quantity of them, it shouldn't take too long to dispose of them. I'd suggest burning them off in a controlled manner, one at a time, possibly using a folding metal support. While doing so it would be advisable to ensure that the flame is contained,perhaps by sitting a water filled pot above the tablet as it is burned off.

    I'm American and live in the states so, my comment is curiosity.
    The curious thing is this, is it illegal to own the stove or just the fuel? What makes the actual stove illegal? Couldn't you just keep the stove and turn in the illegal fuel? Wouldn't natural fuel sources, such as leaf debris, still be a feasible option? Or are the stoves designed in such a way as to not be reusable with a different fuel source?
    Many of the camp stoves that are available to us can use any fuel and in fact are designed to be used with natural fuel sources such a woodland debris.

    • @NoviceWildCamper
      @NoviceWildCamper  5 дней назад +2

      In the video I not that it's the fuel that isn't allowed rather than just the stove. Thing is if you buy these ex military stoves they come already packed with hexamine which then makes the whole thing illegal. You can't really use wood for this but can use dragon fire cubes or gel although they are messy.

    Ugh dear. Anything that restricts freedoms has to be wholly within reason. Otherwise it's authoritarianism. And in fact a lot of the more authoritarian and scammy things that governments at all levels do are technically unlawful, if you know your way around the law well enough. Most people do not of course. In this case, if it were really that important to keep track of this stuff then they could provide licenses for free. Or certainly cheaper than 38 pounds. People would be much more likely to comply then. Because it would arguably be within reason then. Banning it seems a silly decision that hasn't been well thought through at all. Or at least not well implemented. Probably because no one actually cares too much or thinks it's that much of a worry. Either that or the layers of bureaucracy aren't in alignment and talking to each other properly in order to design a regulatory system that is more reasonable and more likely to fulfill its objective. In any case it's typical government overreach and abuse of power. They are supposed to be governing FOR us, not governing US. I mean, any democratic government. And all those little restrictions on freedoms add up, and then people do not realize they're in a straight jacket until they try to move a tiny bit outside the norm. So it's trivial but it's not. And I'm all for safety, if hexamine is really an issue. But then why make it quite so illegal? I'm sure the activity they want to prevent is already illegal. They can put a system in place to keep track of it without instantly making innocent people supposedly criminals. It's really not within reason

    Going back almost forty years, the hex stoves we had in our RN rat packs were next to useless, a nightmare to light and gave off as much heat as a fart. However, we were Royal Navy so were probably issued with the out of date stuff the Marines rejected!
    Still remember eating cold "baby's heads" (boil in the tin steak and kidney pudding - imagine a Fray Bentos tin without the sophistication) and cold tinned bacon on Dartmoor, that was the good stuff. After a few days we were so hungry we'd chuck all the leftover really nasty stuff in a canteen, boil it up and feast like kings.

      Never ever say "yes" or "I do" etc.

      Very easy to trick cops into saying "yes" too. Ask them if they are speaking english. If they say they are, then they aren't lawfully uring legalease and again thus unenforceable.
