It is called a fishermans , it was like a lump of steel after years of holding up my bott*m.

A fixed ridge line can be added to the DD which will aid in a diagonal lay. Once you have found your best length, fix it in place and you are sorted for the next and every next time. Both Kim and I spent years in DD and where warm and comfy. Going for a 4x4 tarp instead of the normal 3metres is...

I noticed you did not mention any "under" insulation. I 100% recommend, {to the point of insisting} that you have a CCF mat in the double bottom pocket. An under quilt is nice as well but I found the CCF mat also helped with the bath tub effect. As for hanging:- Cut some of the DD hanging...

I tried this forest bathing in a hammock thing..... 18 pints of Guinness, too lazy/sleepy to get up....... Not something I would repeat.

I do believe the OP question was " who make the sharpest edge tool that you have used?", then I am going to have to say ME. { Yeah it was just a Flint shard but that chicken sliced like it was pre-diced!}

"Oh I found aluminium in a Alzheimer victim's brain, it must be the cause"... did you check any others "oh no I did not have any real control subjects"...."oh look there is aluminium every everybody's brain" Yeah but lets not let science get in the way of a scare story!

Hope I have saved you a few bob then!

I played with a Polish Lavvu last year. You will need two poncho to make a full tent. The idea is that two solders would each add their poncho to the "2man" tent. You really do need to get the largest size ( 3 button at the bottom) to give any comfort { and I am a bit of a short bottom}. Even...

For years Kim and I have used DD hammocks and were very happy. True, we have both moved on to other "dearer" hammocks but that is not a reflection on DD, just my age and Kim getting great Hand Me Downs. I am a flat on my back sleeper and from what I can make out, don't move around much in my...

Forget courses, come up to the WinterMoot Mate

Kim and I having been hammocking for maybe 20 years now. Started with the "DD" range of hammocks and have since moved on to more up market models. Then main driver for me was ease of entry and exit. While the DD gave a good nights sleep, was warm and comfy and great value for money the...

Ya done Good folks, ya dun gud. To put it another way, Kim and I had a great time, a really great time. See you all at the WinterMoot.

3 o'clock in the morning, can not sleep, biding my time for the taxi to station as we head up to a hotel in Coventry on Sunday, so as to get an early start. Wondering if I have packed everything, knowing I have packed too much. Is all this hassle worth just 2 weeks.... been ten times now so...

Still good for the Sunday drop off Chef sir ?

If you can not get a lift { I don't have a car} Tile Hill railway station is on the line to/from Coventry and you have to walk past shops to get to camp.

I also remember trooping out of the office in 1999. The sun happened to be shining onto the side of the office block. We just turned our backs to the sun and watched it play out on the huge "screen". Falstaff, sir, it was amazing.

Dampener say you, dampener say you sir..... that just sounds like gloating { Gaud I is so jelous init }

Take a Pack Cow to camp instead of a pack horse and your covered.

There will be a Solar eclipse on 12th August 2026. I am putting in my request that 2026's Moot includes those dates. Yeah I really do get (i) I am no real say in this, (ii) real possibility that 2026 dates have been sorted already, just not finalised, (iii) Only me actually gives a Monkeys ...
