    Bivi, Bivvy, Bivvie, Tent, Camping poles?

    Most bivi poles extend to about 1.5 m max, walking poles generally go further up to about 1.8 m, camping poles can vary in length but if you use collapsible ones you can use them straight of bend them to various shapes and designs like on normal tents.

    Need a wind screen design for stove

    I have had my MSR foil windshield for over 20 years and it is still going strong. a couple of small nicks in it, the heavy duty foil they use works brilliantly. Another cheep alternative as many have said it the heavy duty foil you get with some disposable tins and trays they work too.

    Keep a FAK to hand and keep trained, just in case......you never know

    Thanks all for the kind words. Most of my FAK's are self made, although a good base to some of my better ones was either the Lifesystems Outdoor or mountain leader kit, or the Gregson outdoor kit which had fold out sections but bright coloured and in sections so easy to sort and use, but now I...

    North Wood Meet 26~28 October 2018

    can bring some fire stuff in and talk about it a bit, I am not the best in wet conditions and I have been seen people who can do it no matter what conditions they have been in, I am not that good at it but practice always improves technique and the chances of success.
