I'm Nearly packed, see you tomorrow afternoon chaps. Bryn.

Cheers guys, twas a most enjoyable afternoon. Thanks Stu, looking forward to meeting everyone on Thursday :-).

I set out to the forest this afternoon to scratch the itch for the outdoors and get some final testing and skills practice in before my first overnighter in 8 years (next week.) It was a beautiful afternoon, there was barely a cloud in the sky and the temperature was a steady 10-11*C. I found...

Great :-). Should be a good opportunity for me to learn a lot.

Thats what I'm planning to do with my 3x3 and use my spare Tarp as a porch. I'm going to bring my thicker 15mm roll mat and the trusty vango ultralite 900 with gelert Bivvy. Will be interesting to see how it fares in colder weather. I'm debating a DD frontline hammock but having never slept in a...

Looks like a nice afternoon out. What catapult do you have out of interest.

Thankyou all. I used the YouTube video below as a rough guide and fiddled about with it to get the best results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMAtpWQdVbY&feature=youtube_gdata_player Bryn

haha it was just a bit of fun mate, but Thankyou, I'll bear it in mind when stealth camping in the future :-)

Thanks guys. it's a DD 3x3 mate.

Thanks guys. the Tarp was surprisingly easy if a bit fiddly. Certainly kept the elements out.

I have been reviewing the kit that I take out with me recently and I wondered how much other people tend to take with them when they step out into the wild. I always go out with more or less the same kit and I like to be prepared for most eventualities. So here's my kit list. Rucksack: Lowe...

excellent craftsmanship, well done :-)

Cheers mate, I've got a groundsheet and a spare 2.5x1.7 dpm basha which I might put to use as well under my roll mat as the ground will probably be pretty cold. I'm thinking about purchasing a hammock but I was hoping to see a few in the flesh and chat to a few people at the meet before...

I took a quick trip into the woods today to test out some new kit and get some practice using it. All in all it proved a very successful afternoon! spot found and DD Tarp rigged up into a tent. Everyone loves some randomly placed camo! This was the first time I'd erected the...

Thanks guys. Thanks for the informative post Stu, I'm deffinatly intending to come along to January's meet. to learn a bit of Tarpology would be a massive help too. I see your point about the 3x3 and 4x4 tarps. Regarding space, I'm not the tallest of guys at approx 5,10" the 2.5x1.7 in the...

Just popped out this afternoon to get some practice setting up tarps and making usable shelters. I'm trying to learn a few knots to make life easier too. There was a fair breeze and the occasional light shower just to remind me to hurry up. Just a few pictures of my attempts. I...
