So sorry for the late reply Dogoak. I wish I had a Ferrari to leave for several days lol That's a very kind offer mate, and one which is most appreciated :)

Thanks for the info mate! I do have the budget and transport to get to Scotland :) Where about in Scotland would you recommend ? From what you've said, Llyn brianne does sound lovely but not very scenic ? Isn't most of Dartmoor crops and fields ? forgive me if I'm totally wrong here Wow...

looking do do a 5 day trip if anyone can suggest me a nice place to go ? I'm from the midlands but don't mind travelling. I'll be using a hammock so trees are a must. So far I've looked at Llyn brianne in wales or loch pityoulish in Scotland if anyone could shed any light on these or...

Mrs Dippa haha - Thanks for the reply Normad64 :) Fortunately we're from Brum so will pop in to snow and rock when we get the chance! Trying to stay under the £100 mark tbh but if the right one comes up, well it's an investment imo. She's only 5ft 4 and womanly, but isn't afraid to get her...

I thought this would be the best place to post this with it protecting our gear, if not then please remove :) I'm looking for a backpack for the mrs if anyone could help. Looking for something small but capable of holding enough stuff for a few nights, having it be versatile would be great...

Thanks sunndog, Only just seen this :)

Thank you!! It's been doing my nut in lol All sorted now :)

Seems every time I'm logged in all posts in a thread are in the wrong order... Anyway I can change this so the latest post is at the bottom of the page and not the first one I can see

Not sure if it's been mentioned before or if there is a huge demand for this topic ?

Ah that explains the English braids I keep coming across. Thanks a lot Sunndog, you've been a great help here mate! I will trial a few and see what works for me :) Is amsteel any good or is this overkill ?

Thanksmate, seems to be plenty of options out there :) Do you happen to have a link to where you buy yours if you don't mind sharing ?

Thanks sunndog, that's explained a lot :) I think I'm already half way down this rabbit hole lol I'll defo go check that site, see how I get on. Any suggestions where to get some olive green 1.8mm dyneema ?

I'm trying to change my tarps ridgeline and guy lines from paracord to something better. I keep reading people are using dyneema but I'm completely lost lol Please correct me if this is wrong but I'm guessing dyneema isn't the cord, just the mechanics that goes into it ? So all these...

Thanks mate :) I keep seeing his name and site around, is he really that good ?

I'm struggling to find a decent underquilt for my WBBB XLC. I would love to get my hands on the wooki but funds won't stretch that far, especially with custom charges :( Can anyone suggest a decent underquilt I can get from the UK which will fit my xtc ? Any help appreciated

Thanks everyone for all your help. I managed to buy the one I wanted after many hours of research lol I'm now just waiting for my WBBB XLC SL 1.7 to come :D

Thank you ever so much! I'v emailed them so fingers crossed! @sunndog, Thank you. I've messaged him so hoping he'll get back to me. On another good note, found someone who's possibly selling a 2nd hand one :) Has anyone from this thread had any experience with these hammocks, al...

Thanks for the info, not much on there unfortunately :/ shame as this hammock seems to be the perfect one that ticks all my boxes

Thanks for the advice and help everyone, most appreciated :) After looking at many, many hammocks I've come to like the warbonnet blackbird xlc. I think it's the only one we can't get in the UK! Hoping someone knows where to buy it from though ?

I've never used a hammock before but I've been looking to invest in one. What's the best one to go for out of the DD frontline or the DD superlight ? Weight is extremely important to me but I'm willing to sacrifice some weight if it's beneficial. What's the best setup to have, under...
