0 mazungumagic Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Had these in the Australian Army as well - may well still have for all I know - though I suspect the OH & S netherworld might have had them on the agenda. They were called "choofas". I think the name originated from the sound they make when first lit. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 R Cubed Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 The petrol parraffin seems to be the best and at 50/50 it is also more useable than just petrol, a friend has just droped off a radiator so I am going to sort out some pipe and have a radiator in the tent, he he. Trying to sus out the shower bit will pop in to a chalndry at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well got to keep the carpet clean hey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
