Finally got my adventurer 1.5l ghillie kettle after a let down from the first eBay seller.
Had a go today,very impressed,first try was 10 minutes but the fire wasn't burning well tried it again after the first go brought it down to 6 minutes,probably as fast as my electric kettle.
And no hairs left on my left hand and the lovely smell of burning hair(can't spell singing :oops: )

I was speaking about volym. 300 ikea tea lights and 200 from Liljeholmens has the exact same burn time, but guess wich of those that takes up less storage space?
So it wasn't my mathematic skill that were off.
And I was talking about price per hrs burn time so.hey ho

ive been out and bought myself some bear grylls waterproof trousers and ive had to start again with my preps, after knackering my back up again, ending up in hospital, losing my job and ending up homeless. Fortunately i have a new job that pays even better than my last and a new 1st floor flat too.

Good luck.

I wonder if you even read my first post. And do tell me how extra storage space don't cost money in the long run. :roll: Or how health issues and the ecological impacts caused by the cheap petroleum biproduct candles aren't costing you anything? The more expensive ones are made out of animal fat instead.

OK, that's enough petty squabbling about a bunch of candles, BOTH of you.

Miss Anpassad - you've only been here a short while and may be still finding your feet with us. Therefore, the moderators are prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt for now, as we are aware that some things may get 'lost in translation'. But let me make one thing clear. This is a friendly forum. We do not tolerate personal attacks or attempts to belittle other members. Your last post constitutes both of those things. Please refrain.

I've just set up a standing order to Royal Mint Bullion so I can buy some bullion every month.
