    Ordered a canvas and wool blanket from Journeyman Bushcraft and a frying pan pouch from David Friars. The blanket will be used when I get in and out of the hammock during the night.

    I have the same issue with drying out as I do not smoke. Have tried encasing lighter in inner tube and placed vaseline between inner and outer casing as well as storing in a sealed plastic bag. Is yours a Zippo brand insert?

    What did you buy today?

    Bought a Paramo Pajaro today. Usually have Gore Tex waterproofs but thought I would give the analogy system a try. The material seems a lot softer than Gore Tex which helps keep it rustle free when nature watching. I am sure it will be well tested in UK weather conditions.

    Thinking of getting a trangia

    Which trangia were you thinking of? The 27 is smaller than the 25. I use the 27 and I have used it for 2 people for a couple of nights. I would suggest that you get a trangia fuel bottle as it makes filling the burner easy without any splashes. Must admit I use the trangia triangle more often...

    Thin buffalo top - anything from other brands too?

    I have an early version of the Arktis swat shirt for warmer weather. The newer versions feature reinforced panels. The shirt which goes over the head and has no hood is a lot lighter than any of my buffalo tops.

    I have ordered a Grayl filter. Hope to use it in the woods but wonder if it works down the pub turning bad beer into good!
