Great comedy take on a pretty ridiculous law.
I stocked up just before they became almost impossible to get hold of 😃
I very much doubt I'll get busted for making a brew of cooking up my dinner in the middle of nowhere lol
In fact I did a 4 night trip to Scotland last month using both sites and wild camping, used Hexi for all of my cooking and never got a second look.
@IvanDP1967 thanks for that, I'm glad you saw the funny side 😄 I only burned them up to make a video, and they were old, plus there's plenty of alternatives, so I didn't loose anything. I'm pretty sure you'll be OK with your stash.
Doubt this law will be widely enforced, but yeah strange law
@syukwan-kerr8118 That's why I tried to make a bit of a joke out of the video. Thanks, I hope you enjoyed it. 🙂
Hilarious- I must have inhaled a tonne of that stuff over the years but still the easiest way to make a cuppa…. Not banned here in Australia yet! They’ll be dusting those ferns for DNA mate!
@peterhoughton3770 I have to say that when I could smell them things, straight away, I had visions of boiling some water for a boil in the bag and a cuppa. Aarrr sweet memories
Actually someone needs to defend this, the uk is stupid. How long have we had them in use. They are still 100% better that anything else
@mikel6517 we haven't really lost anything mike. There are other fuels out there. And there are serious reasons behind them not being on sale anymore. Just Google it. What I would say to anyone that still has a stash of them somewhere, just slowly use them up, get your money's worth out of them.
Yes but they can make explosives with many easily bought products and I personally hate firedragon or meths. Gas is great but bulky, I have used hexi as my main and only fuel since 1988, so it’s going to be hard to change. I also just use a metal mug US or Crusader and was due to buy some more hexi. What others do you mean ?
Great channel by the way😊
@mikel6517 The fire dragon fuel blocks, methylated spirits, gas, and some stoves can run on petrol from what I can remember. You've got to pump them ones up and sometimes the seals leek out the smell of petrol. Not very good. Use your hexi blocks up, and after that, you will have to adapt to something different I'm afraid. They were smelly old things anyway. You never know. You might be glad that you changed to something different.
Esbit still available, fibre eco fire lighters and making my own wax, wood chip, cardboard. That’s the future. Days research for alternatives
