Hi all, As an emergency, I'm looking for a vango ultralight 100 tent, the single skinned variety. Would any of you happen to have one you're willing to be rid of?

Hi Phil, More than welcome to bob along. There seems to be alot going on to do with colonial, pioneer type skills at this meet, but if you come along, feel free to ask anyone for a skill share. People are more than happy to lend a hand, or spread the wisdom

This is some really great feedback. I'm aware that shelter is a matter of personal preference, so it's great to see the varying opinions

After taking it out for it's second jaunt to the far North I decided that my self-modded Polish Laavu is not my shelter of choice. For the space I get, I feel the weight and effort to set it up is too much to be justified. I've been looking at Wayland's Adirondack tarp mod he recently designed...

My pack used to weigh in at 23kg on a good day but I've gotten it down to around 13 to 14 with food

That'd be great Wayland. Would be nice to catch up

Lots of space for hammocks bud :)

Location Giants Seat is located off Ringley Road West. This is the A667, which runs between Whitefield (Manchester) and Kearsley (Bolton). The campsite is between the villages of Outwood and Ringley. Distance from M60 Junction 17 - 3 miles (10 minutes). Grid reference (of entrance from...

Cheers for the reply guys

Thanks for the comments :) We had to pay 40 euros extra for an extra 23kg bag. That meant we had two bags each, plus our hand luggage. As for wood, there was a fair bit of dead standing around, so we made do with that. It was more than enough for a main fire plus stoves

Yello, Earlier this month I undertook my second expedition to the Kittila Municipality of Finland, camping just outside of the town of the same name. It was a year of testing kit and testing myself. This won't be an extended trip report per-say, but more a few things that I noticed and wanted...

So I recently returned from a very successful Finland trip, having borrowed a Wiggy's Antarctica bag off of Gray of this parish. It was an amazing bag to use, if slightly large for me. Having now experienced first hand how good they are, I'm thinking of investing in the Ultima Thule, mostly for...

Nuts, shoulda added i'm a large. XL might be too large for me :/ Cheers though!

Any variety will do, but I love my fleece pile and have been looking for one of these for a while. Just wondering if there are any on here. Cheers

Cheers :) There weren't very many edible plants in the area that I had the skills to recognise, but there were quite a few fungi, including some hedgehog mushrooms, a few charcoal burners, a fools funnel and a massive assortment of brown and orange birch boletes. While I know them, I'm still...

Just to put my two pennies in here, and they are very inexperienced pennies, I've used Snugpak for synthetics, Alpkit for Down and currently have a Wiggy's ready to go for Finland this year. I'm fairly sure Snugpak overrate their bags temperature ratings. This isn't to say I don't like them...

Hi Andy, There's a large amount of information in this forum section and in a few others on how to go about seeking permission for land. I'm not the most knowledgeable about this, but I'm sure many others on here would be. Another useful guide was recently written by Paul Kirtley as well...

Right, once again in search of a lighter pack, I figured I'd throw a question out to everyone: What is one bit of kit in your bag that you could easily replace/remove by either learning a skill or taking the small amount of time to implement it on camps?

I'd like to try and make it to this one if you don't mind. I'll pack light and undertake the epic journey :)
