    US M51 Wool Shirt

    Mine arrived today, looked like new! Bigger than I thought (labelled 37-41") but fitted me nicely over a couple layers and I'm 5ft 10" and 44" chest. Very happy - was thinking of buying the Swanndri from Ray for £85, this is pretty much identical for £20!!!!! Labelled 90 wool 10% nylon and a...

    NGD (New Gear Day)

    All the MTP bivi's have the extended front so go for one of those. And another vote for softie jacket and trousers - lovely and warm, squash down to nothing in the pack and give peace of mind in cold weather. Make sure you buy a size smaller, they are massive!!

    NGD (New Gear Day)

    Darryl As mentioned, you can't go wrong with the British Army sleeping bags and bivy.

    Modification to a Zeltbahn shelter half

    I'll make a separate thread shortly but wanted to let you know I have received my pair of shelter halves - very nice condition and not as madly heavy as I was expecting. Decided to add zips to mine and have also added a line of stitching around the join of the two pieces as I don't intend to...

    Hammock under blanket/quilt, are they any good?

    An UQ is a bit of an eyeopener when you first use one, the lovely feeling of warmth underneath! A game changer for hammock camping. I prefer the Snugpak to the DD, just a little warmer. Sadly, finding a decent down UQ in the UK is very difficult or very expensive.

    Poncho Tarps

    I've just had one of these turn up from Ali - it's really nicely made and has a few strips of velcro along the edges to let you tweak the shape of it. Very impressed for the money...

    Wanted Outbacker or Nomad Stove

    Hi Folks I'm being tempted by a stove for the winter and quite like the look of the Outlander Firebox or ther Nomad, the ones with the little window in the front. Does anyone have one they don't use and would be happy to sell for a reasonable price? Cheers in advance, Phil
