    DARTMOOR- no more wild camping?

    13/1/23........have I heard correctly on the news: that a court has overturned the limited right to wild camp in areas of Dartmoor, contrary to the bye laws that were in place?

    Army Thermal tops

    SNUGPAK Softie 15 Sleeping Bag

    S' funny........you don't hear or see a lot about this bag, and not a lot about viable serious winter alternatives to down bags? Allbeit heavier and bulkier than a down equivalent, I for one really like it, especially as it can be customized to suit? (length/width, etc..)

    LARGE COMFORTABLE BACKPACK RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Snugpak Bergen is a lighter weight civilian bergen, but is plenty strong enough in my experience.....unless you are going to repeatedly drop it from a helicopter down a mountain scree? It's lighter weight for most normal people would be a boon?;)

    LARGE COMFORTABLE BACKPACK RECOMMENDATIONS

    Much prefer the Saracen..........(I have the smaller Sting; fabulous pack albeit in camo.....) For a lighter but similar pack to the Crusader, there are the Snugpak Rocketpack (70 litre) and Bergen (100 litre).....?

    LARGE COMFORTABLE BACKPACK RECOMMENDATIONS

    I don't have expensive kit, but I am slowly getting my pack weight down from nearly 25 kg (that was fun!!) to about 15kg. Carrying water is the thing I hate. And yes I use synthetic sleeping bags.....

    Hooped Bivi Bags....thoughts!

    Much prefer hooped bivvy to the basic sack. Much easier to use and I prefer a side to a top entry; and more comfortable/weather resistant....losing out some ultimate portability? (I have the Snugpak Stratosphere) Prefer to either the Snugpak Ionosphere, more a bivvy/tent crossover?
