A fellow backpacker eh? Nice to make your aqaintance Kai...

Hello again Gents...and any Lady lurkers! Have not been keeping up with the thread recently - looks like its become quite active again. I've been busy preping for a Wainrights Coast To Coast trip in May. Just finished sewing up a Pertex bivy bag to use with my single skin Hex3 tent on the trip...
