I have been thinking about that mate tbh!!

Its defo on my maybe list, but again its something I will need to buy. I may get a survival bag for emergenceys.

Thanks for your input though

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

nice list mate. how big is the group fry pan buddy? ive got my little trangia one on my list but if yours is a good size ill leave it home

 

[jacko1066]

nice list mate. how big is the group fry pan buddy? ive got my little trangia one on my list but if yours is a good size ill leave it home

Its 28cm across mate and 4cm deep.
Its a Ikea special we have had for a while and the handle has had it so it can be donated to the camping kit.

Do you think it may be worth modding Teepee style and put a chain on it? I will need to get a pot gripper too!!

I would have thought its gonna be more than big enough to serve our needs pal

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

sounds ideal mate, ill scrubb my tangia pan then but ill keep the 2.5l billy for the group meals. i think im going to bin my element too in favour of the wild woodgas stove. been testing with wood and a meths burner and love it. its a bit heavier but i just saved a fry pan lol

 

[jacko1066]

Have you got a pot grabber at home mate? In case I forget to get one!!

Do you think it will be worth the chain mod?

How come your binning the Element stove? your not very impressed with it are you?

Have you tried burner wood in it? Its better than you think!!

Wether you are tarp and ground sleeping or hammocking, a proper - eg ex army - bivvy bag adds to the warmth of your bag and if it's windy or very wet you can have that peace of mind. They come from £15 on ebay.

Poly survival bags are fine but they condensate very quickly. We made that mistake when we worked for PGL back in the 90s. On staff training in May, we had huge polycotton tarps slung about 1m off the ground and slept on foam mats. Some of the Kitchen girls slept 90% commando and during the night someone told them to take the survival bags from under the foam mats, they were being used as a groundsheet, and go inside them and still in their sleeping bags. An hour or so later they were soaked through. It was snowing outside/on the tarps by then.

This would be a bulky but comfy addition too Ebay - 181075789418

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

ill bring a pot grab mate ive got a few.

As for bivvy or survival bags if it were me i wouldnt bother. Comes a point you just have to trust your kit, only so much room in the pack and if the sh1t really hits the fan we have a tent that can accommodate all of us or we bail out. I do like the german surplus onesie though. I reckon we could dye them different colours and do a rendition of teletubbies in the woods

That is awesome lol!!

Tbh you are prob right about the bivi and like I say if there is any room left in the bag I think I may get 1 for piece of mind!! If I do have to ground dwell at any point then it will become a must.

I'm not so bothered about the warm it brings though, my sleep kit will easily go down to minus 20 I reckon.

If you do happen to come across an army goretex bivi for £15 give us a nudge please, that is a bargain!!

Cheers
Steve

I use a one piece fleece suit under my drysuit. Lovely and cosy. www.kayakbute.co.uk - the owner uses his all the time in sleeping bags. Great to keep cosy.

I couldn't resist at that price, I've always wanted to try one and compare to the UK version
