    Awning Carpet Tentipi

    Hello We have a Zirkon 9 and didnt buy the floor. Thinking was, very expensive and we have a lab that loves muddy puddles, so we'd have puddles everywhere. Instead, I bought a couple of cheap footprints to put bedding and gear on (about 50% of the inside) and the rest of the ground exposed...

    Winnerwell Stoves

    Cheers Crowe, they look smart! I'm concerned about the flue, I can't see that there is a double wall tent protector section (or similar). Fine for those hot tents with the flashing kits installed, but not tentipi. Do you have a pomoly?

    Winnerwell Stoves

    Evening, We've just taken delivery of a Zirkon 9 and are looking for a stove to go with it. I like the ambient light afforded by the winnerwell stoves but I'm seeing lots of mixed reviews, largely negative on quality of materials (rather than design). Has anyone used a Winnerwell Nomad stove...

    British army Bergen

    Issue bergans are designed to sit on top of webbing so the load is on your hips, like any large rucksack. Unless you're wearing webbing, any load over corps weight or say 15kg will be uncomfortable after a while since the weight is hanging off your shoulders so bruises them and strains your...

    Vulcan 2 and Karrimor SF molle Panel

    Cheers! That looks ideal, I'll do that. I am right in saying that the vulcan rocket pouches aren't compatible with PLCE and vice versa?

    Carinthia Survival One or Carinthia Survival Down?

    I use the Defence 4 so I'm familiar with the quality of their gear - My own preference is that I have never gone for down whether that be a jacket or a sleeping system. - comfy and warm and pack well but next to useless if soaked through. All depends what you're going to be getting upto - but I...
