Canal boat

[Nemesis]

So after 3 years this is what I feel meets my needs.

Wood
Coal
Calor gas
Red diesel
Meths
Gas Cartridge
Solar
Candles


Wood I use for both cooking and heating I have a log burner on my boat and I also like to build camp fires in the woods in remote areas and cook, I also camp out in my tents of which I now use two, I will talk about these another time.

I also use the fire to lift my spirits and as light, plus a small wood burning stove I use next to the boat on the path in remote spots, because I enjoy doing it and I have learned when alone we must keep ourselves busy with tasks.

Wood is maybe the number one fuel and there is plenty of it along the canals, prepping for winter is a task in its self and splitting wood to help it burn better takes up a lot of my time.

I also burn coal for long lasting heat in my log burner I find if you burn coal along side wood even when the fire dulls it can be brought back to life constantly where as with wood alone I run risk of it going out, I guess this is due to my boat log burner being quite small, in my home I never had this problem.
