Thanks for the replys guys and for the video Rich

Rich do you store your cartridge elsewhere in your kit? i always thought the pcs had too large a capacity at 1litre then when i spotted the sol at 800ml i thought perfect size then got thinking that my cartridge and burner just fitted in my pcs with the stabilizer on top, so am i right in...

Thanks for the replys guys, just goes to show "progress" isn't always in the right direction.

Hi, i'm thinking about purchasing a Jetboil sol and wondered if you can store the gas cartridge still attached to the burner inside the mug for compact packing?, i know the original Jetboil PCS were capable of this but with the sol being 200ml smaller i'm not certain Thanks in advance for your...

Hi Rich, to be fair it's nearer to my body now than when i used a paracord ridgeline with shock cord at the end, but have put that down to the BB being quite a'lot wider than my Claytor Jungle Hammock and i also use a top quilt all year round as i don't possess a sleeping bag that i can stay...

Excellent news folks, got my Warbonnet 1.1 Blackbird from Matt at UK Hammocks (excellent service cheers mate), today i got to see if my current setup could be adapted to suit the BB Well i'm pleased to say it worked better than expected, attached under quilt then adjusted followed by the...

Thanks for that Simon, will check them out Andy

Thanks for the reply Rich, will just have to wait now till uk hammocks get some in stock. I currently use a carrabiner that links the tree strap onto the hammock loop, now they give 2 suspension options for the WBBB 1.7 so am i right in thinking that the line strap version will take up less...

Hi i currently own a Mosquito jungle hammock and while i'm pleased with it i still think it's a bit restrictive on the shoulders and i find it impossible to lie on the diagonal to flatten the lay?, i used to have a DD frontline hammock but just couldn't seem to get comfy no matter what i tried...

Thanks guys for the welcome, hope to catch up with you sometime either on the water or at one of the meets Andy

First of all please accept my humble apologies for the extremely late introduction! I have always had a keen interest in our Great Outdoors having been brought up with camping, boating and more recently canoeing, the canoeing came about more from a convenient way of carrying my camping gear...

Yes please Gavmar, you have pm Andy
