What volume were you thinking or ordering Rich?

Not too sure yet, it'll probably be a good size order though. I need to get in touch with them first and see what the crack is, if it's going to be a high shipping rate, say $100, then it's better if we order more.


What's the shelf life on the Packit Gourmet meals Rich?

Just looking at their FAQs Michael, they say for most meals shelf life is around one year, those with high meat content around 3-6 months.
 
I've just emailed PG so I'll let you know what they come back with.

I might be over in the US again early July so I could bring some back that way if it falls through
 
Lovely weather. Some cracking photos there.

May be chuckling away here but it's an eye opener as well. Cleaning out the bunch of you - cheeky litlle bampot!
:D

Cheers Hamish, it was a nice trip out

Just think, if we'd been in the hammocks I think it would've stripped camp without us knowing. The funny thing was, I was awake at one point in the night and I could hear it rustling away under Andy's tarp, I just thought he was making something to eat so I went back to sleep again :)

Sunshine in the Lakes just can't be beaten

Sorry couldn't resist :D.

:D. He would have been if he'd nicked it before I'd drunk all the alcohol inside.

Grrrrr :)

I'm too scared to inspect my Arc Blast too thoroughly

Don't blame you, I'd cry out loud.

In all seriousness, what could we have practiclly done outside of a bear container or moving pitch to somewhere with a rock big enough to hang a bag from? A bear container is a bit overkill. No trees to hand from and the slope wasn't big enough to get a bag high enough without 30m of rope.

So far, I've come up with floating the food in the lake in a rubble sack or using a little movement sensor so it wakes us up. Can't keep food in the shelter or even the bivvy.
 
Nice write up mate! I wondered where you and Pete had been, Missed you at the Brittain Wood meets! Perhaps you need a light weight catty to see of the foxes, they can be determined little buggers.
