Cutlery wise I don't think you can beat a spork light weight easy to clean halfords have them 2 for £1.50

As long as the stuff's clean when you put it back in the pouch, it should be OK hygiene-wise ...... I wouldn't use something for food that you couldn't get really clean, but then I'm a Mum and paranoid that way .

I wouldn't class myself as paranoid but can't help thinking of crumbs of food working their way into the joints on those type of tools and quietly festering away despite my best efforts to clean it. I'd go with Bob's suggestion or just carry a simple stainless spoon which is my preferred option.

Just a side-note on that mate, although I personally love sporks, we recently had a bunch of kids at the ACF detachment where I volunteer manage to snap a bunch of theirs! I'd thought they were indestructible to be honest but I suppose not, I guess I would rather carry a slightly heavier KFS (and let's not forget the morale implications of eating like a gent out in the field ) and know that it would never die on me....
Another slight advantage over a titanium/aluminium/stainless KFS is that they are slightly easier to clean and muck shows up easier on them.
I have often found myself out in the field with a spork, licking it off between stirring a can of beans and stirring my mess tin brew!! I just like to have a little designated cutlery set: I like eating!

Wellll that was a long "sidenote"!

just been in my local aldi and they have some generators on sale for £40, im going to do some research tonight and maybe go back tomorrow to get myself 1, it looked quite decent and i like the idea of having a back up power source should i need 1

is it this type?



they are not bad but only have a constant run of about 500watts and are not stable enough to run anything valuable. the first one i had killed itself when i tried to run a drill . Ok for a few lead lights or the like if you can take the constant dimming and brightning as the guvoner tries to keep up ... They do have a 12v battery charger outlet which is about 8a iirc

yep it hung itself on some 2.5 flex It had a overload trip which err didnt trip and it killed the windings in the generator coil

I'd get a couple of those petrol lanterns if light is what you want, this thing if as Butterbean says wont run anything expensive, and the starting load on the average fridge would kill it before long, it is of little real use!

The Coleman petrol lanterns err don't like to be run on error petrol for too long all the additives in the fuel which is good for your car gums the "generator" tube up fairly quickly and that's before you worry about combustion gasses and carcinogens in it...... And the fire risk
. I've got 3 of them but I'd be VERY wary using one in doors...

I run mine on "napthia" aka body shop fast panel wipe.... Its about £15 for 5 l its the same chemical as what Coleman fuel is but that's about £8 for 500ml

This is what I use but I didn't pay that
