Roadside Brew

I have used the Mini Bull Design Black Fly 4 a few times, so any opportunity to show it in use is a bonus. I like using it with BackPackingLight.co.uk’s flat-pack Honey Stove (2009 model).

Whilst one of Tinny's Blackfly 4 meths stoves does the work, the Honey Stove is used as a windshield, stove platform and pan support. On uneven ground, I think it's a great combo. 20ml of meths boiled 500ml of cold water. That's less than 1 fluid ounce. The time is long, but so what?

Is that wee dish at the back a solar reflector, directing the sun's rays onto the pot in an effort to help that weedy wee stove along?

:o)

2009 version of Honey Stove includes Freesat ;-)

Something to pass the hours waiting for the water to reach ambient temp' then? Cool :o)

I saw a reference to Galactica btw on one of your *hawk-spit* Tweets. What Season you on?

Oi, clean up the phlegm from the last comment, Big Kev. You'll spread germs around. (finished s4)

Big Kev said...

:o( Soz.

Was that half of S4 or the whole frakkin' lot?

I'd got hold of half of s1 in a supermarket sale and like it. Got the miniseries from Play. I bought the boxed set of s1-4 before finding that the writers strike meant s4 was a short one. Fragging skinjobs. I felt ripped off, but the set says "20 disks ... and all in 1 collection". It never says "complete".

Big Kev said...

Aye, the "mid season break" was a PITA, right enough. The complete Season 4 should be out soon tho'. The last half is worth the wait. Superb stuff.

I think they're calling it the "final season". For me, it is finished. I have a boxed set, which looks nice on the shelf. Why spoil it?

Big Kev said...

I didnae want it to end. I kept the last 4 episodes, un-watched, on my telly-recorder box for a few weeks. Managed to avoid all spoilers in that time. We sat down and watched them w/e before last.

One of the finest finales we'd ever seen was the concensus.

Gave me goosebumps, man :o)

Well, it appears that there's no such thing as a "complete" Season 4. Not yet, at any rate. The latest set to come out is the second half of 4.

Balls!
