I believe some of the other members use lint, just not from not synthetic fabric.

Might be worth looking at Vango as a brand. They do turn up cheap on eBay. I’ve just been considering Banshee 300’s to replace current DofE ones but they do some compact single person tents.

I’ve seen self heating smart mugs for £30 and up. I believe they will do 55c not sure what battery life is like. I’ve never tried the Adventure Nutrition alu heating elements. They seem like a more user friendly version of the MRE heater.
