sports direct, karrimore, really cheap, and they are pretty good bags too, I have loads of them now, from the small first aid kit size, to a rucksack lineing whopper, no snags with any of them

yep, and it for those very reasons that I am mightily tempted to get one for my back up / summer tent, but as I found out last month, the top or even highish up on the fells, can be pretty unforgiving on a tent that is not quite upto the task :-), as my MSR ELIXIR 2 found out in 30 + Knot winds...

yeah, I have been checking out quite a few vids on youtube for the luxe series, I do like them a lot, however I have enough saved that I think the hilleberg soulo is going to be my number one tent when I buy it next month, but I am sorely tested to buy the luxe for my summer / half decent...

ahh bugger !! thanks for letting me know same goes for anyone else that a luxe sil hexpeak, or the mini lux ?? cheers in advance

Hi Jurassic, just found this thread, I'm wandering if you still have the video, if you could reupload it, that link does not work now. I am just reading up on these tents, as I really really like the look of them, especially after my MSR Elixir got trashed in the wind the other week (about...

another great source for ideas / inspiration is youtube, check out some wild camping and day walks on there, you will be amazed what is out there waiting for you to find

was gonna say that looks remarkably like the old LMG, easy peasy bit of kit, nice to maintain too from what I remember, first day of small arms maint course, and we had LMG, gpmg, slr, smg & 9mm, stripped all the way down to the trigger sear retaining pins, and thrown in abucket of oil, told to...

this week, I ordered an MSR elixir 2 tent, very exited to get home and test it now !! will write a review after a couple of outings if anyone is interested, I picked it up from millets, with the 15% discount, from 220 to 187, a decent price brand new, second hand on the bay they are going for...

skyviewfree, now that does sound like a very useful tool to have !!, I will be saving that one !! thanks for the heads up ahem, posers...ha ha ha ha, what the hell, I'll take that

true enough, I always carry a map and compass anyways, it just saves the hasle of trying to find your position in the wind and rain, and you dont need the covergae, so long as you get GPS coverage on your phone, you are sorted, which you do pretty much all over the lakes, as for draining the...

depends on your definition of bulky, if you dont mind carrying a caravan on your back its okay, ha ha, only joking, but it is a decent size, takes up about 2/3-3/4 of a 50L rucksack, at least thats my definition of size wise

yeah I use mine on my mobile, works pretty good

yeah, looks amazing, so wish I had done this with my kids when they were younger, instead of working away all the time, how easy it is loose track of the important things in life

personally I would jump at the chance to have another staffy, had a couple over the years and they are amazingly loyal loving dogs, however my beddlington terrier doesnt like to back down from anything, and he can be a bit of a handfull with others at times
