I paid a tenner for 5 litres ages ago.

It runs fine in my Primus Omnifuel! :)

My testing services are available free of charge! :)

It depends. I tend to wear dark blue or black in summer but in winter you'll see me wearing bright red.

I've snow holed in the Cairngorms once. It was only about zero degress in the hole so it wasn't too cold but the roof did drip quite a bit. I had a bivi bag so my sleeping bag was ok. Using a Karrimat under the Thermarest worked well for me.

Hi, Are we having DNS issues today? I found another way into the server as the front door was firmly shut!

I bought these Tikes but they ain't tough enough for me. I've bent quite a few and ruined a couple.

Hi, I've got a Thermarest Prolite 3 Regular that needs a new home. It's never been out of the house so it's in brand new condition. Here's a couple of links in case you're not familiar with these mats: http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/372-Therm-A-Rest-ProLite-3-Short/...

helixpteron - Thanks! I'm looking for something I can use in a bothy. I'm going to give the pot inside a pot method a go.

The good news is that there is a company still producing high quality down equipment: http://www.phdesigns.co.uk They don't make eVent waterproofs though.

Get yourself over to Chris G's thread for the Group Buy on these. Chris sorted me out with mine!

I'll second what bigbear said. Since Rab Carrington sold the company to Equip, most of the manufacturing has gone to China and there's been a number of comments on UKClimbing about problems with stuff. I haven't heard too many comments about their eVent jackets though and my Rab Latok Alpine...

Here's a guy with a load of experience of this sort of stuff: http://www.andy-kirkpatrick.com/site/main_articles/double_up/

They look interesting and I can follow the instructions to build them. I just can't work out how they're used! Do you stick it beside a fire or shove some coals in it or what?

Are the Land Rover shirts long sleeved? Can't tell from the photo.
