I use one of these here in Alaska...

tip - don't sit in front of a lighter background.

Hello Ralph. Was wondering where you were... sorry about the accident, but glad to see you on your own two feet. I also had my life turned inside out from being hit by a drunk driver, and a year later by Methuselah's grandmother. All we can do is make the best of it. I could have ended up worse than I am... Right now its in the upper 90s (F) and humidity makes for heat indices of 105-115, so no camping just quite yet. You take care keep on the mend. ATB mate !

Well done Ralph , keep going mate 👍🏻

Really pleased to see you back out and about buddy. Another great Video!

Ah this explains why you've been so quiet of late Ralph. Very sorry to hear of your issues. Wishing you a full recovery asap 🙏

Great to see you back on The Tube Ralphster 😍

Great to see you back, a lovey video as usual. Looks a great walk and far from me. Looks like a very nasty injury but it’s good to hear you are on the road to recovery, you have to take each days as come❤

Hi Ralph, It's so great to see you up and about once more after so long being away healing and turning your life around with all the hard work behind the scenes. I will share and, of course, show Arthur how also wishes to do another show of just going out for a bit. Looking forward to the next one 😀

Great video Ralph, really enjoyed it, thank you for sharing. You’re doing amazingly, thinking of you.

I had no idea you had that accident Ralph, looks a nasty injury too. Motorcycles are great but not without risk, perhaps a greater risk than most are willing to tolerate. I still ride and went for a ride with a group down to Weymouth the other day, it was nice to ride with friends but the journey was horrendous with traffic and to be honest I see more, experience more, and enjoy more when riding my bicycle. Glad your back up and getting about, keep moving forward.

Really great to see you carrying a rucksac Ralph, even if its empty.. your doing really well, but dont over do it.. that x-ray looks pretty rough, but the body is an amazing machine and in time you will adjust and things will get better.. on a side note, it was nice to see such calm surroundings and traditional settings with a game of bowls on the green... England is still beautiful 😅 Good job, and see you tomorrow!

Early days Pal, recovery is slower at our age. Fellow biker here,Keep the tarp above you and the kettle boiling. All the best Rod

Well hello Ralph you don't know me but will in a bit. I'm Helen husband Mark think we met before at ten pin bowling at fairford when are kids was small. Hope you have a good recovery sorry for what happened take care mate

Nice to see you back, and glad you are on the mend

Hi Ralph, just watched your KZbin video with my hubbie, he's going to subscribe as well. He owns a Triumph Street Triple RS and was so sad to hear what happened to you. I've known you for years and you're always such a happy go lucky chap and good friend, but I know this has really affected you. Keep being you, keep recovering and lots of love to you and your family xx

🙏👍💎You were lucky , great to see you back , recover soon

Welcome Back! looking well

Outta your brain on the 5.15

I understand hexi is issue in the UK now. Any bbq fire lighter block will work well too

Stupid stove my coffee made meal cooked before you've finished mucking around with a bottle of poison and lump off cammel crap 😂😂 most stupidest stove on KZbin

I've just bought this off of eBay after watching Your review, I tried lots of surplus stores But All sold out so I had to settle for a private seller on eBay 90quid +7quid for postage so quite a bit more expensive than you paid ,cant wait for it to arrive now haha!

Try aiming the camera lower or further back next time, but thank you for making this video just the same. I just wish I could see more of the assembly and set up.

baja la llama,no debe salir humo ,solo llamas azul.

Nek minute 5 hours later 😅😅😅

I'll only be minutes 😂😅

That’s an MRC it’s clearly not an MRE You obviously were never in the military since you don’t know the difference get off my newsfeed UNSUBSCRIBED

Or ...... you could have used the windshield that comes in the kit, which retains the heat!

You certainly suffer from w@nk3rs flying light aircraft around!

Thanks for sharing. Please be more careful. Don't sit in front of your setup with your legs under the table. If it falls over you can't get out of the way and will get a pot of boiling water in you lap, this will make you a very unhappy camper. Sit side saddle. Also don't stir a hot pot without holding the pot handle or better take it off the stove, stir and replace. Don't ask me how I know this. 😎👍

Just an old soldiers thought, hardly a stealth camp with stove fires blazing

Looks a bit tippy to me, but to each their own.

Thank you for all you do Garry, Raleigh NC U.S.A.

Things I'm mulling over, watching grass grow. 😅 I believe each stone holds 1 ounce of fuel. There is just so much energy in 1 ounce of alcohol, you can use that up with a 3 minute blow torch burn or a comfortable 10 minute burn, both doing the same thing? People who are obsessed with trying to achieve heating 8-12 ounces of water in 1 minute I don't get. Here is what should count, within 10 minutes, can I get a boil? What method reduces yellow flames over blue, reducing the mess to the bottom of the cup, pot? Why, soot, crap on the bottom and up the sides of the cooking containers are unburnt residue, wasted fuel. Flames licking up the sides of a container probably aren't exactly effective. A gentle burning flame is more useful for more than just heating water in zero time. Yes, you can add a simmer ring, but let's not add that to this. Also, take note, perlite sucks up four times its weight in water, vermiculite sponges up to sixteen times its weight. I'm assuming alcohol base fuel has the same percentage.

Considering its size , and the cooking theory , I wonder if a small Samovar might be just as good , if not better ? I am also a Flecktarn fan , and also have one of those very tents . Its several years old now , with no issues , other than it can get a tad bit stuffy in it , if the air is still . Thank you

The tent F-2 is a nice setup. a great atmosphere and area you chose to spend the night in. The army unit i was in didn't get tents in until after 2008. I would have surely bought this to use in the field , we didn't have the net in the early 80s - 90s. So i went with a wendel A Frame 20 bucks at that time. The weather off the Great Lakes is static, so i put that up under a grommet tarp for a few weeks to live in. I may just pick one up. Safe travels, happy trails.

How is the next morning of sleeping inside ? Is there much condensation? How is the overall ventilation? Is the fly really good in wet weather conditions? Is the tent material very thick? I know the style of tent it is and its puzzle. camo is a nice feature, too.

Crusader cup holds 750ml. Crusader Mk2 holds 1L - it would be perfect only if its bottom was flat; otherwise I can see food sticking to the bottom and near-impossible to clean off in field conditions. So I'm sticking to my trusty old Crusader. FlexiStove is a good idea, except for the £12 pricetag - easy DIY using foil trays found in any supermarket. The next best thing would be if BCB came up with an affordable aluminium lid for the Crusader and a stainless steel canteen which they can make 1.2L or 1.5L, since no stainless steel canteen fits into the old Crusader.

Putting vermiculite or perlite in a trangia style stove that works on alcohol VAPORS does nothing to enhance the transfer of alcohol from a liquid to a vapor.

Nice to know the material. Glad to see your experiment. What advantage does a "stone sponge" offer over liquid alcohol?

Thanks for saying what the tower is. I am sure I was not the only one wondering would you mention it.

👍👍👍

Great video Ralph.. new subscriber here 👍

Great camp mate 👍

Love your vids!…I had one for several years and loved it! My only beef with it was I couldn’t sit up in the doorway to brew up. It never leaked on me either!Dave 🇬🇧

I like the new start to the video Ralph. Also love how you respect the site and always clear up and leave no trace after you've left.

Great video Ralph 👍

I love Avebury. Great video Ralph!

Great video Ralph..

One of your best vids so far, lovely location, really good presentation and editing.. check out the abs on this one, and the lesser known tree rock " made me chuckle, but keep an eye out for the "Special Branch! The last location, i remember the rather strange looking stone that looks like and ear just inside the entrance , if im not mistaaken.. what a cracking equinox sunset.. so happy that the winter is through.. looking forward to reviewing some new kit ive bought, going lightweight this year, so i can go further for longer.. Great edition Ralph 5*****
