    Berghaus Cyclops II Vulcan Rucksack Advice Please

    I think that the size 3 might have just been just a tad too small - I think getting the size 4 was more luck than judgement to be honest. I am liking the fact that there is not too much molle on it - I appreciate it is a military spec pack - but do like it without masses of molle on it. Oh...

    Berghaus Cyclops II Vulcan Rucksack Advice Please

    Bob - cheers for the info. I have just loaded it up - and thought it must be "bent" to take account of "contour" of back/shoulders - as it pulls in nicely to shoulders with strap. I do need to get load right as you suggest - I think I overloaded my Munro, and whilst traversing a stile with dog...

    Thoughts On The Hilleberg Nammatj 2 GT Please

    Hi Have a very itchy trigger figure at the minute, and sights are lined on the Nammatj 2 GT. Having researched, and researched some more....youtube vids etc, I thought that this tent might be the "bomber" I am after! I appreciate everyone has their own ideas but I wanted something that...

    Hilleberg Akto & Taking The Pooch

    Crikey - no wonder there were only two entries for the shelter in the first post when there are steep cliff sides like this to traverse! Looks like well worth the effort though! :)

    Hilleberg Akto & Taking The Pooch

    I was going to mention this small store of processed wood - clearly visible at the side of the photo shown by Ivanhoe. Really helpful to the weary traveller :) and certainly appreciated. I can only agree with you on that score, there is getting less and less room on this small island that we...

    Hilleberg Akto & Taking The Pooch

    Would it have been local park rangers who would have constructed them, or locals? Maybe in more remote locations it might be locals to help a traveller in need?

    Hilleberg Akto & Taking The Pooch

    I have to ask are these common place in Finland/Sweden? I know Ivanhoe said that the shelter had hardly been used within the last year, but these look great shelters :)

    Thanks for the info. Sounds like you were putting the Akto through its paces! Damp dog + damp tent = misery!

    Hilleberg Akto & Taking The Pooch

    I have to be honest I think I am fixated on Hilleberg. Perhaps the only way of sorting the issue is by buying, and then trying. If it doesnt work then can resell. However, all the input here is helping, as am checking other brands to try and clarify thoughts. Thanks again.
