Re: Thumb twiddling
This kind of thing I use. But really don't see a problem with a fire if you have a little common sense.

Alpkit Shop
Anyone else been in the new shop yet. Got myself a fuel pod just in case you never know. It's a big shop to fill and can remember it being a lot more appealing when outside owned it. I'm a huge fan of alpkit stuff but don't know if it will appeal to the people who don't know the brand.
