Hi Boney Gumbo McGee
Varusteleka Sarma stove arrived today, under a week from being posted ! Tried it out this morning, well impressed, solid and easily slots together.
It's on offer just now, I subscribed to their newsletter. I paid £18ish all in including postage.
Good size for most dixies, billies and skillets. I will mostly use wood when out mooching about.
Hope this helps
Garry

My first Ventile in the form of a Sasta Taiga and a polycotton Czech military surplus parka. Somewhat opposite ends of the outdoor wear scale, so looking forward to seeing how they both fare in grim weather.

Wicking base layer clothing. I stuck my nose at it for so long, because I've never done more than ten tours in regular t-shirts etc and just put up with a bit of discomfort (I have hyperhidrosis). But with a month of camping and trekking planned, figure it might be worth seeing if it makes any difference.

Will be on my way within a week or two, so a few more bits and pieces. Tilley T3 wanderer, hopefully it will fit, had to measure with a tape measure.. and while looking for a bivvy + midge net option, I ended up deciding to give the DD travel hammock a go as it seemed the best option for the price. Bivvy bags sure do get expensive!

A Montane Spine goretex active smock :) Got it on sale and I've been feeling the need for a lightweight waterproof since I took a thorough soaking climbing Ben Nevis last month.

Now I just need a pair of trousers that'll do 3 season hill walking (ie windproof and fast dry times) but also take a bit of rough stuff for the bushcraft. Polycotton BDUs etc are great for kicking it in the woods not so much with extended exertion
