I also have one of those folding stoves, as you say very efficient.

Thanks, huge thanks, for a grand time. Much drier then expected. Very laid back time this year but still a joy. Super grub, yum yum. So good to touch base with old friends and glad to see new faces. Roll on summer.

I found hang a blanket over the hammock's ridge line {not the tarp's} did not work for me. I found the total lack of light very disquieting. I know its dark when I close my eyes, I know there is very little light at night in the woods but the TOTAL darkness, oh no. Not scared of the dark but I...

It will give you a nice loop at the end the hammock to pass the rest of the straps through or to fit a binner to.

It is called a fishermans , it was like a lump of steel after years of holding up my bott*m.

A fixed ridge line can be added to the DD which will aid in a diagonal lay. Once you have found your best length, fix it in place and you are sorted for the next and every next time. Both Kim and I spent years in DD and where warm and comfy. Going for a 4x4 tarp instead of the normal 3metres is...

I noticed you did not mention any "under" insulation. I 100% recommend, {to the point of insisting} that you have a CCF mat in the double bottom pocket. An under quilt is nice as well but I found the CCF mat also helped with the bath tub effect. As for hanging:- Cut some of the DD hanging...

I tried this forest bathing in a hammock thing..... 18 pints of Guinness, too lazy/sleepy to get up....... Not something I would repeat.

I do believe the OP question was " who make the sharpest edge tool that you have used?", then I am going to have to say ME. { Yeah it was just a Flint shard but that chicken sliced like it was pre-diced!}

"Oh I found aluminium in a Alzheimer victim's brain, it must be the cause"... did you check any others "oh no I did not have any real control subjects"...."oh look there is aluminium every everybody's brain" Yeah but lets not let science get in the way of a scare story!

Hope I have saved you a few bob then!

I played with a Polish Lavvu last year. You will need two poncho to make a full tent. The idea is that two solders would each add their poncho to the "2man" tent. You really do need to get the largest size ( 3 button at the bottom) to give any comfort { and I am a bit of a short bottom}. Even...

For years Kim and I have used DD hammocks and were very happy. True, we have both moved on to other "dearer" hammocks but that is not a reflection on DD, just my age and Kim getting great Hand Me Downs. I am a flat on my back sleeper and from what I can make out, don't move around much in my...
