orchard heater
View attachment 460157

I have a simple version as a shed heater and it is incredibly effective. run it on deisel and waste oil. Once it is going I have the regulator cap shut of completly and the top cap 85-90% closed and it keeps the shed warm in the winter months. If running all day (3 to 3 1/2 hrs in the morning and the same in the afternoon) it uses about 3 to 5 liters of fuel.

FIRE...[EDC]

To be a little bit prepared in your daily life is so much better than to go out there and see how much you can 'suffer' to 'proof' yourself...

[Eg. Producing an emergency fire is really not that simple without modern means for the average man/woman, or as easy as some stick rubbing experts would like you to believe , given the vast variety of unsuitable terrain , materials or weather conditions sometimes existing when you really need a fire in a hurry...]

Some here would maybe see this as a bit of a controversial statement, but please don't--it's not the intention!

By all means, teach yourself the old skills and ways, [I also do] but really, 90% of the time in a 'survival' or an emergency situation, life could have been so much more bearable if just some basic precautions has been taken beforehand...

Eg. --do you EDC carry a small pocket knife?

--or as a non-smoker, do you EDC some small unnoticed means of a fire starter [Ligter, matches, Ferro-rod, lens etc.]

The list can go on and on...

[Its understandable == where it’s possible in the workplace and where 'society' or laws allows it!]

Just always be as prepared as you possibly can and FIRST try it the easy way before you burn calories or risk injuries [blisters] etc.!

I EDC this kit in my left cargo pocket along with a Leatherman Wave and a SAK One-handed Trekker

• Ferro rod w/stricker
• BIC Lighter
• 7 fire plugs
• 16" of Triple Braided waxed Jute
• a CC 4 sharpening stone
• 2 lens wipes
• 1 antiseptic wipe
• 12 ft of #36 Bankline
• Whistle w/compass
• 3 Band-aids

It's all ways better to have and not need than need and not have.

Carry a 9 volt battery and a piece of steel wool. Place the battery contacts against the steel wool and you WILL have a HOT fire starter with a little bit of kindling in a hole in the ground.
