Imprisonment for making a cup of tea!

- 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.

What absolute bollocks. Better check that MI5 is not tracking me in the woods. 🙄
Mad isn't it
There’s an agent behind the tree - do you
a. ignore him?
b. let him know you’ve spotted him? or
c. do a runner?
@@redpillnibbler4423 walk over and say hello. 😁😁
Well said sir.... 👍😎🔥

Maybe offer him a cup of tea? (Heated using hexi) 😱
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.
Exactly. When I asked the recycling guy what they would do with them, they said burn them. Funny that, so was I 😂
I use hexamine solid fuel tabs & stove here in Australia. Cannot be used during total fire ban days. Thank you for sharing 👍
No problem. Thanks for watching 👍
That’s crazy, hexi burners got us through our Duke of Edinburgh awards ,
This is madness
Yep. It's insane.
Some festivals only allowed solid fuels so these were perfect. I've still got loads of these so will just use them up making brews as it's far safer me using them up than having them all piled together somewhere for someone to not know how to dispose safely of them
Its mad really. They should take it case by case, if you're camping and making tea then fine but if you've got stacks of it piled in a lock up along with plans of government locations then look into it
Just use them off camera, i mean hand them in yeah 😉 incase the gestapo comes.
Mad to think how making a cuppa could be illegal 😒
A team of M.I.5. agents might be hiding in the woods waiting for you to light your fuel tablet !!
They would have to make public notifications and stipulate a time period before it comes into affect?
Next year the rumour is, the Air we breath, will be Taxable? The bigger you are, the more Air you breathe, the more Tax you'll have to pay?
@@amigodawn1728 I'm knackered then 🤣
Didn't have a clue. I've shared this so more people know.
I know, neither did I so I thought I'd post it to let more know. Madness really.
You can still buy them, in The UK. Surely they would be off the shelves. Bollocks!!!
I did say that you can still buy them online in the video. That's why it's bad. If you can order online you assume you are legally allowed to use it but according to the law you aren't. There are some websites that state you can't buy without a license but a lot don't.
@@NoviceWildCamper Maybe that came across wrong, I didn't mean that to you, just the whole thing...
@sydonthenet6631 no probs. The whole thing is ridiculous. Like most laws, they don't think them through. They've also banned battery acid so best get rid of your car as well 😂
The stuff stinks leaves soot on everything and is made with formaldehyde, not the sort of thing I would want to be cooking with personally.
Cheers for chucking this information out there buddy I have one of these stoves, I wouldn't of had a scooby, next thing I know I could be in prison. love the content bud
Cheers buddy. It's mad that the government think we should check to see if it's legal to make a cup of tea first 🤣
@NoviceWildCamper who'd of thought it'd come to this, what a world we live in 😂
Mate keep the stove,just use up your hexi or buy firedraggon.
Mamod, the toy steam engine company, may go bankrupt because of this. They have a large stock of these and no way of getting rid of them legally.
Exactly. The government need to look at this on a case by case incident. Otherwise they need to ban knives, Bleach or anything that could do anyone any harm. Ridiculous.
@@NoviceWildCamper
Ban more stuff!
Stop giving them ideas 😆
Madness, the government are clueless
Yep, like banning all wild camping because some idiot wrecks the land. May as well ban going shopping cos 'some' people shop lift.
The government doesn’t care.
Welcome to life in Airstrip One.
Just another type of solid fuel don't throw away the stove as well.
I kept the stoves 👍
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.
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.
@@NoviceWildCamper that explains a lot. Sounds like someone, with the funds and resources, should redesign it so that any available fuel can be used.
You try running a small camping business, when i had my shop i had to buy a licence to sell toilet chemical so people could have a shit lol😂😂😂
🤣 did any bears buy it? 😂
@@NoviceWildCamper 😂😂😂
Blooming ridiculous, isn't it. #LAUGHABLEGOVERNMENT
Yep, illegal to make a cup of tea 👌🤣🙄
Vote Reform
@@duggpinner3717 because they will allow Hexamine?
@@thebaldconvict 🤣
Illegal and unlawful, legislation and laws. Very different and worth knowing!
Saw a few videos saying it was now a banned fuel but still no definite answer what to do with it unless you buy a licence
I wouldn’t worry if you have a few at home and use the odd one out in the sticks.
It’s fairly unlikely M.I.5 will send a team of armed agents to cart you off.
@@redpillnibbler4423 😂 if they did send MI5 round it'll be a waste tax money for 8 tablets
@@chmcage
😅👍
Very informative Mike! Pretty sure the guy at the tip is just gunna sell them,
It’s got to be a money making thing, how they possibly gunna police it 🤷♂️
@54DegreesNorth exactly. It can be used as an explosives so just monitor those that buy it with ID. If they're on the terrorism list then it's a no. Simple. Plus you'd need to buy tons of it to make any real decent damage.
Alright bud, that's mad I just googlye'd it and your right so I wont be using mines up next time I go camping..... I also wont be punching my neighbour next time he looks a my kids through a telescope either atb....
I haven't seen a law that specifically says you can't punch a p@edo 🤣 you go for it.
have there been any cases in the uk where hex tabs have been used to make explosives ? answer : no
Don't shoot the messenger 😂
@@NoviceWildCamper LOL
Not once has any bo . . . 💥 OH SHIT !
My go to fuel for my day out brewkit
I'm sure plod won't be looking for me in the middle of nowhere while making my cup of highly illegal coffee 🤣
Crazy when you think you can easily buy a massive propane bottle, no questions asked
🤷
Exactly. Country's gone mad
17 armed agents have read your comment!
Nuts! Apple seeds contain cyanide are they going to prohibit apples?
God knows. Part of the ban includes the acid they use in car batteries. That will solve the emissions crisis 😂
Didn't have a Scooby-Doo . Better look through my gear just in case I still have some.
Exactly. How is anyone supposed to know 🤷🏼♂️
Bollocks to them
😂👍
It’s the ministry of truth for you!
I thought I might have some of these in the shed, but it looks like I've fortunately used up my supply some time ago. Imagine getting arrested for something as quintessentially British as making a cup of tea! I now use the same type of stove, but I got some alcohol burning inserts for it instead of solid fuel, two of them fit in the stove side by side, it's pretty nice. I've been spoiled by the lack of soot burning denatured alcohol produces.
Cool. Have you got a link for those inserts?

@@NoviceWildCamper They're unbranded, you see them on sites like the big one beginning with E and the other big one beginning with A and the one beginning with A that ends with express. Hopefully I'm being too subtle for the YT robot 😅.
The declaration is going to get longer again.
good to know cheers

🙄🙄🙄
NOT the Folding Stove .. only the Fuel.
'Nannying' taken a step further!
I presume that next on the list will be Nitrate Fertiliser and Diesel Fuel ..
Actually car battery acid is on the list. Best get that bike out.
@@NoviceWildCamper Rubber burns too 😏.
Not as explosive though
I’m going to use mine to continue making my tea. ☕️
I doubt anyone will do anything but wanted to highlight it. The day they stop the British people making tea there will defo be an uprising! 😂
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
Exactly. Pathetic really.
@@NoviceWildCamper yes exactly it is pathetic indeed
It’s room 101 for you pal.
@@redpillnibbler4423 hahah
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.
I've been vegetarian for years, but I actually quite fancy a baby's head right now...
🤣 sounds horrific. And look at us campers now, we do it for fun 😂
M.I.5. know where you live! ☠️
No way I would comply but I am a criminal I guess
We all are in some way. Including the government making £40 out of a terrorism act.
Yankees can still get them on mazon.
Can buy them on the Internet here too without any warnings 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks mate, madness! ❤
I know. Ridiculous
With all that’s going on in the world I don’t think I’ll be worrying about this latest beyond ridiculous ‘rule’.
Just use common sense.
If only common sense was taken into consideration by the government
@@NoviceWildCamper
Exactly 🎯
This is the first I've heard of this! I've got at least 3 stoves still in their wrappers I've had for the last decade when I use to work the UK festivals (and the same as you, never got round to using them)... I was even thinking not long ago to do a video using one of them... Glad I didn't now! 😡😡
Annoying isn't it. Had to bin 5 lots of tablets but I kept the stoves.
Keep the stove,use firedraggon.
Hand them into your local mp
Wouldn't know where to find them 🤣
Perhaps not, but when you do, you’ll be able to advise him as to where he can shove ‘em!
Preferably light them first!
💩 ma pants 😂
😂
Bicycle clip time!
i love it
What, hexamine? Or the government?
Lmfao 🤣
Just letting you know 👍
So just absolute rage bait title, nothing drives up engagement like outrage
You said yourself you've had them for 5 years and never even used them, now all of a sudden its "youll be jailed got making tea"
Amazing how people simply cant make good faith arguments anymore. Its all rage bait, hyperbole and common as much bollox
The law changed in October 2023 as I clearly said in the video. So I'm letting people know that may be in the same situation as me and have had them for years that now, they are not legal. Not bait, informative.
So what do the military use now?
God knows
I think they use the dragon fuel bcb stoves (if not the boil in the bag chemical/hand warmer style ones?)
@@SussexOutdoors yeah probably
Most buy jetboils or the cheaper alternatives, hexamine tabs are made from formaldehyde so I would express caution when cooking with them.
@ashab1 yes but I was just informing people of the law changes. Plenty of other options out there
If you don’t resist this kind of tyranny then you’re gonna have to explain to your grandchildren why you didn’t fight back when they are trapped in their 15 minute zones
Yeah, we don't really resist anymore, we just kind of let the government roll right over us. I got to be honest - I wouldn't even know how to resist, there's no training for this sort of thing.
Illegal says ruttin who? Is that a LAW, or a Bi-Law (which requires consent to enforce - which over 90% of them are btw)
Law. It's to do with the dangerous weapons act I believe due to terrorists using it for bomb making 🙄
An "ACT" of law requires consent.
Meaning?
Meaning its only enforceable if you agree to the miranda interpretation. Ie, when they say "do you understand these lhese rights" that is a bi law enforcement contract. If you say yes you're agreeing to miranda meaning, giving consent to bi laws/acts.
Never ever say "yes" or "I do" etc.
Its all legalease bs.
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.
Ppl need to learn their real rights, they think taxes n shit are legal,...they aren't, most things are acts only.
You can't say you don't understand and plead ignorance of the law though.
If you knew you could realistically get jail time for this (for possession), you would NOT have posted this video. More useless clickbait
I posted to let others know that don't know and then you saw me dispose of it. If you actually had the intelligence to know what clickbait was you wouldn't post this ridiculous comment. Try googling clickbait. It's when a thumbnail isn't relevant to the video but makes you click to find out. I'm so glad there's pathetic people like you that further emphasises the need to tell people when they might be doing something stupid. Like your comment 🤣
All i see is more useless comments from useless viewers doing useless things with their useless lives
A custodial sentence for this offence is highly unlikely for a person found in possession of this substance in the circumstances of heating water or food! Making an IED then quite right!
@lovejetfuel4071 🤫
A team of M.I.5. agents might be hiding in the woods waiting for you to light your fuel tablet !!
Who knows 😂 in all honesty though a lot of people use these at festivals and they are rife with plod walking around checking for illegal gear as nothing better to do.
@@NoviceWildCamper
Agree I wouldn’t use them at a festival or such.
