    does size matter?

    for a solo one nighter i can get away with very little if i strap the tent and sleeping bag on the outside. 20 litres is fine. When camping with son where the little ******* won't carry his share I've discovered that for a couple of days 40l didn;t give me room for the food, even strapping two...

    Advice needed; Cooking pot set for newbie?

    PDA1 has it. No aluminium on an open fire - an issue for some, not for others. Are you carrying your kit on foot? If so, how far? What do you want to cook and for how many people? A single can of 750ml or so may be fine for one person, and you can eat and drink from it as well. Mess tin...

    Advice needed; Cooking pot set for newbie?

    The Vango is a Fire Maple Feast 2 I believe but I'm not sure the GSI is, unless you can point me to the original. It's their own proprietary coating and normally quite expensive.

    Advice needed; Cooking pot set for newbie?

    I'm also in the market for a new cookset and just picked up one of these for £30. I like the strainer in the lid thing. I go out with my son a lot so I'm usually cooking for two and you can barely get enough pasta in a 1.5l. I also have to carry everything. My stainless plates fit inside (I...

    Anorak, parka or smock in eVent or C_Change

    Hi all I recently picked up an Amundsen anorak in Schoeller's C_Change which I got at huge discount from Surfdome. I have a Bergans Morgedal which I love but it's not very waterproof and has ****** me off a few times when I've needed something really rainproof. There's not a lot of info about...

    Review: Bergans Morgedal Smock Anorak

    that's a good tip with the Nik Wax, will try that. That said, it seems the Morgedal is no longer available. There's a few alternatives, mainly in Ventile, but none in Epic as far as can see

    Review: Bergans Morgedal Smock Anorak

    Yes, it's strange that for a garment that is superficially quite flawed it's somehow very useful and kind of a friend, if occasionally a frustrating one :)

    Review: Bergans Morgedal Smock Anorak

    Ah, i should have clarified that mine is navy (I'm an aquatic type) and so the black toggles etc. are not an issue. Funnily enough, I like the zip rings as i find tape/fabric harder to grab with wet numb fingers or gloves but horses for courses. The gun mart review is fine but it doesn't seem...

    Review: Bergans Morgedal Smock Anorak

    I wanted to post a review of the popular Morgedal anorak. I've been wearing mine for about 18 months now and strangely, although it's a very imperfect garment in many ways, I keep coming back to it. GOOD POINTS Shape It's longish, reaching mid thigh on me (6'1" wearing an XL), and long enough...

    Brand new with tags Bergans Morgedal Anorak smock, Navy, Size L

    ah screw it, I'm keeping it. Decided to wear it out for some errands on my bike in the rain this morning. Didn't get wet, didn't break a sweat. This is an absolutely awesome garment, and very soft and light too. Highly recommended. Can't wait to try it in anger.

    Brand new with tags Bergans Morgedal Anorak smock, Navy, Size L

    Hi there I'm a longtime reader but i don't post so I'm aware no one knows who I am. I had brought back for me from Germany by a friend a Bergans Morgedal in Navy Size L. It took a lot of tracking down but now it's got here it's quite a lot too large for me so I'm selling it on...
