Brill thanks for taking the time to do that Pat

Cheers Pat going to watch few videos and suss it out

Yes I was over the moon driving back. Just got get hang of using that wire hook handle

Been after one for a while but to pricey as a rule. Then one popped up on Facebook £15 Needless to say I was straight on that. Fired it up for first time this morning for a quick coffee. Boiled mug water in no time. The pan also made a great comfortable cup to my surprise. So well chuffed with that

That would be brilliant Dan but don’t go out of your way

Wow cheers Dan find that really interesting

Cheers Dan I have since been provided setup info by kind chap and getting to set better now. Just testing in day at moment until I take plunge. Hell of difference size wise between an old 2 man tent and modern one. It’s pretty big so need to find suitable spots.

Thank you for the info Harold I will ponder on it. Few on eBay in good nick. Will check the poncho out when it arrives

Got Dutch army poncho on the way. Just fancied adding one to my kit. Any benefit to the liner from point of view of camping ? Looks useful though apparently quite thin. Could use for extra layer in the bivy or even maybe as under blanket in the hammock?

Get the army desert socks best socks ever. Never slip down warm and comfortable

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...
