Bushcraft

Had a kelly kettle for a while and love just how quickly it boils water once a fire is going in it. Isn't visible in the picture but the base is propped up on a stand so it isn't in direct contact with the ground.

Has anyone else got a similar stove or just generally has good recipes that can be made quickly by adding hot water? Other than pots of instant soup/noodles I have found porridge is a fairly easy one to make by just grinding up some oats at home in a spice grinder and mix with some dried fruit then when I am out all I need is to add hot water.

I've made my first attempt at oilcloth. Used linseed oil (boiled I think but I no longer have the container), turpentine in equal parts, and iron oxide (quarter part). Looks beautiful, but...

First problem is it just won't dry. Been hanging under cover in a well-ventilated area for a few weeks and it's still very tacky. I'm guessing I just need to leave it longer.

More of an issue though is the iron oxide leaves residue whenever it's touched. Any ideas on how to get rid of the excess? Google does not appear to be my friend today.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Not entirely made in the bush, but using resources from there.

I used my folding saw to cut the wood, then my new hand auger from Wish to make the hole. Morakniv Companion black knife to help carve out the peg, then a lot of sandpaper and filing to make it fit (+ help from another log to bash it in).

I used a power drill to make the holes for the hooks because I'm not sure how else to go about that.

It's my first attempt at anything. I wouldn't use it with anything liquid, but it might be fine for a dry ingredient.

Debris shelter from a few years back. Back side was covered with sufficient dry leaves.
