    Hooped Bivi Bags....thoughts!

    A good buy there Barney, plenty of room and plenty breathable, the material is not a million miles from the Brit army bag so plenty tough too. I was wondering what you’d go for, looking at the snugpak the zip is on my wrong side and the material looks too “tenty”!! I think.... Looking forward to...

    OTT slingshot, wanting some hammock suspension bits

    Superb little ott slingshot made with engineering pvc which has double the tensile strength of hdpe, made by me to a high standard, 50mm gap, feels lovely in the hand, bands tied for left hand hold but can be reversed as it’s designed ambidextrous. I wanted to try cattys again but I am just...

    Hooped Bivi Bags....thoughts!

    Just a thought Barney....how about a sleeping bag with inbuilt mozzie net, like the Carinthia tropen or Brit army lightweight bag? I can vouch for the Brit army lightweight bag, I’ve used it in summer with just a mat and basha.

    Hooped Bivi Bags....thoughts!

    Great taste! Yew trees are superb, strong, great evergreen canopy for weather protection, always some dead limbs low down for the stove.

    Good watch cheers Barney, I like that tarp setup too, simple and spacious, looks like it cuts the breeze off well.

    Day Out Upsetting the locals

    Yes those tusks do look dramatic don’t they? They do use them to good effect on each other too, very aggressive and I’ve personally witnessed the bucks fighting. The only bad thing is they do drive out the smaller muntjac from areas. Still great to see and hear though.

    Day Out Upsetting the locals

    Finally! A night out... Got dropped off by my son a couple of miles walk from my chosen spot for what was my first overnighter in a long while. Got to the old estate lake spot by 13.00 and was greeted by the bark of a clearly agitated Chinese water deer, a quick video as he retreated but I did...

    Hot tent, sausage and mash, wood clearing, birthday weekend.

    Brilliant way to spend your birthday. The stove looks great, a bit of hot tenting is on my to do list. Your firewood/craft wood stack looks full of promise. Happy birthday......
