Hope this is in the right place.
I have been a bike rally camper for a few years. This winter will see me take my first foray into Scottish winter camping.
I think I have the clothing sorted, plenty of merino socks, longjohns, vests and layers. Some good boots that have proved their waterproofness.
My new tent arrived last week and will be getting a test pitch this week.
Possibly a silly question; would an air bed be suitable or would the low temperature affect the plastic? As far as insulation, would pretty much any reflective material be suitable to go under the air bed?
I have multiple torches, head light and a battery lantern. I know the cold is hard on batteries. Any estimates on how much shorter time batteries are likely to last?
I have a Coleman Unleaded Sportster 533 (donated by a friend who has upgraded). If I get my act together, I should also have two woodgas/gasifier (TLUD) stoves to try out, a simpler hobo stove too.
Thanks
Chris
