Very helpful staff. Patient too....... I spent well over an hour in the shop trying various sizes/combinations of Buffalo sleeping bags on their shop floor. Much to the amusment of the other customers:lmao: Simon

Ive actually went a step further and tried to order on the site but it wont let me because Ive got a British debit card but need to have it shipped to another... Drop them an email, they may be able to help you. John at Lighthound is one of the 'good guys'. The most reliable and helpful...

at a push use cheap vodka! My Trangia once cooked my tea fuelled by some rather cheap (Cheaper than meths....) Metaxa brandy :rolleyes: Simon

28lbs!! :eek: Is this normal? How much does your kit weigh for a 2 day outing? Pablo Sadly my kit for *any* outing weighs too much (See my avatar). My pack for a recent 4 day walk staying in youth hostels weighed over 30lbs. I may not have lightest pack in the world but I do enjoy...

Dont worry, no sign of mine either. Maybe tomorrow :rolleyes: simon

It would be a brave man indeed who drank water that had been filtered through one of my socks :lmao: simon

I seem to remember seeing Michael Palin doing a stint as a tiffin delivery guy... Simon

It should do. the XL size bag is designed for folk up to 6'7'' which is well over 200cm and the shoulder is probably much less tapered than your nanok. Okay, as a trial I've just tried the thermaliner over my Rab down bag (Good to -5), loads of room to spare. repeating the exercise with the...

I had a moment of weakness whilst I was in the Penrith Survival shop and found myself the proud owner of a Buffalo 4 season outer, inner and thermaliner :rolleyes: I've owned a Special 6 shirt for years and love it to bits. Its had more use than just about any bit of outdoor kit that I own...

Could you put me down for the combo please. Too good to miss at that price! Cheers, Simon
