Where have you been? The forests round callendar are pretty open but I've never used a hammock in anger.

My plan for the weekend is to try and get out in mine. Not planned any mods quite yet.

Not a dig at anyone but it's slightly annoying how many YouTube folks load the gasifiers wrong.

Relented and went for the highlander forces 66. Not quite as large volume , should be enough but it's very comfortable and adjustable might be as comfortable as my osprey!

i can't remember exactly what size it is tbh, I've got a smaller MSR pot that goes on my alpkit alchy stove no problem but it's a bit small and is a little tenuous on the gasifier. I'm just being cheap really, I've got a much larger pot with heat exchangers and stuff but I don't want that to get...

Anyone use them? I guess "unissued" is probably fine but do folks trust the lower more battered grades? I'm half looking for a bigger pot to go on my gasifier but I don't use it very often and it makes a hell of a mess of pots.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing It was cheap enough so worth a try

Not tried them but I'm not sure they'll be long enough to give sufficient drop to actually sit on my hips.

Guess the question is whether it'll fit properly even with the new belt.

Oh no, plenty capacity. I could move hoose with a 100l! I'm 6'2" though I was hoping to get away with out webbing, don't really need the capacity.

Hmmm, wonder if the pack is just going to be too small. What height are you?

Ahah, yeah that would probably do it.

Long back. Not sure if gull wings are what I need. But on my hiking pack the waist belt sits on my waist and is quite padded.

any body?

I've recently purchased an old surplus Bergen, one of the olive ones on Endicotts rather than a newer DPM ones. I've read a few off hand comments about adding a useful hip belt does anyone have more detail? The current lower strap sits a couple of CM higher than is comfortable.
