Thanks wood sorrel, You've just inspired me sir. Excellent idea, thank you John :)

Hello Bopdude, This Lavuu had the stove pipe through a Stove tent protector and through one of the Lavuu arm holes but I also have a piece of fire blanket around the tent protector as a barrier between the Lavuu and tent protector if that makes sense. I have several Lavuu's two of which have...

Nice one :)

I can see the pics if I right clic and open in a new tab. Great report and the bushcraft TV shot and looking out your window is great. atb John

Many thanks WealdenWoodsman for your kind comments. The lift on the Lavuu with the side skirts really does make a huge difference to the space inside. The skirts are fitted with velcro so the groundsheet can be removed or folded in half etc etc. All webbing and zips are military standard and...
