amazing photos, the one with the deer running away is a classic you ought to send it to John Craven's countryfile photo comp! You doing the cleveland this year then?

yeah nice vid mate, but nothing about mozie nets, this ones about making a cape out of a blanket. cheers anyway

yeah that's the one im on about, they seem a bit rare for some reason, maybe because alot of hammocks come with nets built in these days? ok il check that place out, seems a bit pricey though, maybe i can fashion one out of something myself. cheers

Wow now I see why they call you Kit! Well that's great Im in the process of experimenting with kit but it would be great if i could just settle with one or two things that work. Il defo have a look at some of those tarps you mentioned, ive seen the Lavu tents before on ebay.
