    Does a lighter daysack to accompany berghaus centurio 45L make sense?

    PLCE is zip up where as MMPS is zip down so they are not compatible. They are more like 11 liters each. depends who is selling them as to whether you get 1 or 2. try and get a good grade because the clips do get damaged and crack. I'm not a fan of the 2 pouches side by side either. i used to...

    Karrimore Side Pocket modification?

    It maybe quite expensive to get the mods done. if your karrimor pouches have the fastex clips you could get a couple of cheap grade dpm PLCE pouches and connect them behind the main pouch. its a bit bulky admittedly but you can experiment until you are happy with that type of setup. Also you...

    How to plan a solar system

    Cant seem to get a definitive price on a CEF solar panel. could you link please? I like the look of the Anker solix F3800, that would be ideal if the solar could keep it topped up during cold, wet or snowy days.

I don't understand how the solar works (obvs sunlight) but over the winter is when the power would be needed, are the panels efficient enough to provide enough power these days to run for example: Heater on...

    How to plan a solar system

    My understanding of the question was that the heating didn't work, thus made the house cold and damp? And the cost of heating... @lostplanet can you confirm? @gra_farmer The economy 7 system is just crap to blunt. Although its supposed to be cheaper overnight to charge the storage heaters...
