... i was starting to worry no one fancied it this year ...


I'd purposely held off from confirming in thread that I was up for it :sad6: .


where did you pick up the pup tent from? looks like i could have a use for one

I've had it for years. The fabric is more than slightly weird ~ the two sides have a sort of magnetic velcro attraction to each other and to themselves as well :o .
If I'm honest, it's not the best choice I've ever made and I really should modify it into something more useful ~ a canvas pup would probably be a better, if heavier, choice.
 
Remind me just prior to the March Meet and I'll bung it in the boot for you to have a play with (and see whether you can cope with the madding attraction of the fabric) ~ I 'lost' the poles some years back :o but replacements should be easily fabricated.
As a tent it's cheap and cheerful. It's dark all day inside and buttoning the door up from the inside is irksome.
 
Glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves (as if there was really any doubt). Family stuff kept me away this time but hope to see you in March.
 
hi all, had a really great weekend. learnt a good few new skills and im now a convert for the blow up insulated matress to kip on. thanx especially to wayland for lending james an me your spare mats.
 
Hi guys, I fully appreciate you have just got back from a great meet, im hoping to make the march one my very first bushcraft meet! I don't come from the area so hoping that ain't a problem?
