THANK YOU SIR.
its an oilskin watchcoat from tentsmiths, briar proof, and light weight, a shelter in itself!

Goody gum drops 😉 not cheap I imagine ? But should last a couple of lifetimes , I'm sure .

Do they get 'clammy' when they are damp, like our traditional wax cotton jackets do ?

Nice.

Last time I was out this is how I configured my tarp, although it's a 3m x 3m - 10x10.

It's pretty roomy inside.

I wonder what the room would be like using the tarp you mention - It looks interesting, and dare I say it "tempting".

That's a very cool set up Hypnagog. Not that easy to set up, but great use of the tarp to create good protection from the elements while maximizing the area under the tarp.

Shewie posted a link to a video in this thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113632 that goes through the setup up and some variations.

It took a couple of practices in the garden to get used to it, but I really like the set up. Even with the doors open there is quite a bit of condensation, so I think that I'll try without the large IPK groundsheet next time to see if that helps at all.
