I've been tempted by these (or similar) on several occasions, but as convenient as they are, I simply can't justify paying a fiver for a single meal. You can get packs of dried, flavoured pasta that cook just as easily, except the contents go in the pan rather than the other way around. Okay, so...

PM, gowersponger.

I've seen this thread title popping up on the main forum from time to time and always presumed it was related to bushcraft/wild camping, i.e, what kit would you buy if money were no object. I'd have a field day buying the ultimate in top range, lightweight gear, although I'd have to do some...

Am willing to swap this for a Gelert Pod Sleeping bag XL in good condition (please note the size in link) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gelert-Sleeping-Pod-Adult-XL/dp/B002ZWP9TI/ref=sr_1_2?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1353055942&sr=1-2

I guess so, Gray. I suppose it's just a case of knowing where. I'd be really interested and grateful if you posted up your thoughts on the bag's size once you've checked it out.

First off, thanks to all those telling me it's inside out (Sorry to Big Stu for saying he was wrong when he first told me a few posts back). It did make a slight difference to the size, but not enough to matter. I now get a measurement of approx 71cm across the shoulders, as opposed to the 68...

Emailed him and offered him another fiver to speed up postage. He refused the fiver, but said he'd do his best to speed things up (and obviously did :)) I never told you that, by the way. I don't want him inundated with requests to speed up the postage. Also, he replied to my emails about the...

Well I hope you're right, Andy. And if someone who owns this in large could possibly post up some measurements (outside width at feet and chest) then we could settle it once and for all.

You are mistaken, Stu :) But guess what? You saying that caused me to check it by turning it inside out and guess what I found? I found a label, and guess what that label says? It says "Sleeping bag, Arctic. LARGE" I'm confused now. Do you think it's possible rik linked to a bag that only...

Certainly! In fact had it not stated so in the product details I wouldn't have known it wasn't new.

Thanks, Andy, widu. Sorry, Andy, didn't realise you and your sleeping bag were parted :) Widu, I contacted the seller immediately and will see what he has to say for himself when he replies. Fingers crossed he admits he's sent the wrong size.

Cheers, BareThrills. You see what's worrying me is that the seller has made none of these claims about size. I'm just hoping Andy will post the measurements of his so I can compare. I'm also hoping rik will comment on the size of the one I've received, as it was he who recommended it.

Thanks for that Andy - gives me something to arm myself with when I next contact the seller. You sound like a man after my own heart when it comes to sleeping (spreading wings, etc, so I'm happy to trust you on this). I don't suppose you'd care to dig out yours and take the same measurements...

Okay, here it is. Just for more reference, the bag measure approx 18" across the feet and approx 2' 4" across the widest section of the shoulders.
