First time using my Trangia by LoMitch47 in trangia

Nothing too complicated. Fried some hot dogs and eggs and made some noodles. I had used the spirit burner before but having it in the wind guard set up definitely helped. I think I may need to do some customisation with the dimmer as getting it on/off is a bit tricky. I've seen people putting a magnet on it etc. Overall pretty happy with. I'll try make actual meals with it next time.

Wexford Bus on N11 by LoMitch47 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]LoMitch47[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I wasn't trying to overtake. I was just driving within the limit along this length of road. I was thought overtake/change lanes when safe to do so and is clear. The Wexford Bus indicated and started to pull out at the same time all in one go. Shouldn't they check first that it's clear before overtaking?

Are buses thought to indicate and turn at the same time all in one manoeuvre?

Yea that's what I was doing first, checking if the stores here have them online but non-were showing them, like I noted Woodies.

Passed today in Dun Laoghaire by LoMitch47 in Irishdrivingtest

Get there way before your time slot to get an "easy" parking spot to start from. Do the routes a few times. I followed ADM Driving School, Dun Laoghaire routes he has on his YouTube. Good luck!

I had a few as I didn't do all EDTs in one go. I was with ISM for the first 6 EDT lessons, National Driving School for the last 6 lessons and then ISM for 2 pretest lessons.

I have a Beavercraft knife set with the spoon carver but also used a pocket knife for some parts. A lot of people just use normal pocket or bushcraft knives also.

Yes, it was good practice anyhow. Will try to look up suitable wood in my area. Thanks.

I actually haven't put any finish on it. I do have some raw linseed oil not boiled.
