Has anyone been to either of these events in the past...

    Inflatable mats & pillow users

    Just wondering from folk who use either infating mats or pillows how good they are? Compared to an MOD roll matt and a jacket rolled up what sort of difference will be noticed? Finally decided last night that perhaps i'm almost old enough to not have to completley "rough it" anymore.

    New mora help

    Forgot to add does the stainless version has any adverse effect on the use of firesteels? I always tended to use the back of my old one for making sparks.

    New mora help

    Was out the past two days for some wild camping and a mountain walk, however upon reaching the summit I took off my gear to relax and realised that foolishly I had my clipper hooked on my belt the hole way up with the original plastic sheath.
