I'm only guessing, but perhaps they want to confirm that it really is empty?

Sorry I didn't make it. Hope it went well. Martin

Hi Minotaur, I'm not sure how useful I can be here but fwiw, if your budget goes this far, I recommend this Olympus Pen. which I have. http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/21693_pen-camera_e-p1_21723.htm It fits in your pocket, meaning you can have it with you all the time, which I do...

Evil maniac. Thoughts go out to all Norwegians.

I see you've already had recommendations for Coleman tents. I had one but I can't be sure which of the modern ones are the equivalent. It looked a lot like this one... http://www.coleman.eu/UK/c-436-waterfall-deluxe.aspx Plenty of room for a couple of bikes and the kitchen sink in the...

Just seen your photos on the other thread. Nice stuff.

I have just arranged to go camping on this very weekend and was wondering where to go but this event looks perfect! I'd need to provide some creature comforts for a 5 year old and his mum so if I can find a campsite with a shower (for them) and permission to light a fire (for me) I might well...

I strongly agree with this. and suggest you follow the instructions to the letter. When I've done it (like this) I've always had good results. Good luck!

Hello and Welcome WOO. Did you say you're over here visiting? If so, where in the UK are you? Martin There's no substitute for experience.

Thanks everybody. A wide range of experience there. At least I know there are good options.

Thanks Ian.

Thanks for this Ged, M.

The manual for my MSR Whisperlight says to use 'white gas' (which I assume means 'white petrol') or naphtha. The only warning it gives is: don't use leaded fuels. I checked Coleman fuel today (which is what I've used in it previously) in my local camping shop and it's £7.00 per litre!!! Anyone...

I had set my sights on a pair of Brasher Lithium boots, http://www.brasher.co.uk/catalogue/products/lithium-gtx-r-lithiummn ... having researched them on-line and found only good reviews, but I got my hands on a pair for the first time today in F&T and was very disappointed. The uppers...

Good point, well made.

My pack was empty for this test. If it had been full there would have been a lot more absorbent material to soak up water. I'm sure a 10lb increase is possible, given a full pack and enough time in the rain.

Hi PDA, It took your comment several hours to cook inside my mind before I realised I should do the experiment! I have photos but cannot upload them. I think because I'm a newbie. Can I upgrade myself somehow? Anyway, the figures are, for 65L Karrimor Jaguar GR (with an sa back), before...

One or two people are coming out in favour of them now... So which pack cover do you use Teepee?

Those dry bags look the business but too heavy for my liking. Re bivi "... will at some point wet out and leak" ... Am I showing my lack of experience here? Why would it leak if it's waterproof?
