This one is a belter. Be able to fit me bivi and bag in no problem

Thank you for kind offer grey cat but I got nice surprise :) Beautiful bags and frames Just got figure how to use them now lol. Will research hip attachment for them

Popped old girl up today for a look Definitely using me bivi in it until it’s tested. Ozzes character though

Any one heard of these? Picking one up weekend for tenner. I love me bivi but couldn’t resist this. Love old gear. Sort thing that went up Everest I believe

Well that seemed to have worked but took hell of lot of force with gas squirting every where. Doesn’t ozze safety lol. Apparently the 4 quid lixada stove bit fits so will order one them

Looks like the internet was right the new carts don’t fit. Will have to adapt it unless I am meant to push it to break seal then screw it

Thank you for the info all guides so far suggest you pinch a valve off and old stove. When I google these old stoves though there about 30 or 40 quid. It’s going to cost me a tenner so will pick it up and do further research. Must be a five quid adapter some where :)

If you have converted it can you not use any of the modern cartridges that screw on or have I miss understood

Collecting one tomorrow but when I mentioned it will need conversion for modern cartridges the chap said not needed and gave me link to The campingaz C206 GLS pierceable gas cartridge which seem common. Yet when I google the stove every one seems to mention conversions. Any one use one ?

Gave the Hennessy its first go last night. The expedition model used off eBay. I actually slept well for first time in a hammock. The weather really let rip but all was well nice and dry and warm. Still leaning towards the simplicity of a bivi though High light of the night was a wee bottle best...

I thought the Dutch bivi was meant to be top dog apart from the carinthia. I recently got one and spent one night in it so far. No issues and loved it. I have been used to the alpkit though. I do have the British army which I love. Stuff mat and bag in it and roll up good to go under a basha. I...

That’s amazing thank you I will drop message once I have it :)

Hi Grey not fussy at all. I am in Carmarthenshire. The pack is coming from England next month. Looking forward to it. Again 56 years old and I get excited about a backpack frame

That’s a good idea kill two birds with one stone

As part of my losing the plot as I get older I am picking up this frame next month. It’s a tracker made by camp trails in phoenix I like using old gear and prefer it over the shiny new stuff. So my question is I can obviously tie things to the frame. But what do I need to search for bag wise...

I have getting big in cow boy coffee even at home. The results can vary though some times the coffee settles perfectly other times not I might just deploy a tea strainer job done

I am new to this caper but I can’t being doing cold. I start packing with bare minimum but then think well I need my softie oh better take my fleece next minute 80+ litres gone

Perfect warm as could be and with the medium army bag warmth wasn’t an issue.

Well second try at hammock last night with my dd. The first time I felt close to be comfortable but never got there and was rough night. Last night with structured ridge line I got closer and the lay was right but it just felt to short. So my next plan is to buy a 12 foot one wind I think like I...

Very nice Martin. Nice shade of blue that. They sure seem well spoken of. Mine doesn’t have a bottom pocket which from what I gather means it’s an early one. The guy I got it off did say I was getting a lot of bag for a tenner. I think he was ex army and it had been his bag. He did really good...
