What did you buy today?

[SaraR]

The tabs closest to the asym corner are attached to the tie outs with S biner

I've found I don't need to use the other tabs yet but could use another S biner to attach them to the hammock body and just pull the net zips to either side of them

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I think I need to stop worrying about damaging the net or overstrechiove the bungy cords. Maybe I should draft DH in to lie in it while I sort out the UQ...

If you sort the UQ to hang right under the hammock you shouldn't need anyone to lie in it as when you get in and the hammock moves the UQ moves with it

Bought a crusader mug from surplus and outdoors in Kidderminster. Need to buy the cooking unit as my trangia spirit burner set up wont work with the kidney shape of the base of the mug. Hodge

Maybe you could source a round metal grid that could be suspended on the trangia potholders.

Yeah but I never manage to make it work without some serious wriggling around I'll try your method though, and I thinkthink get some short sections of soft webbing with loops to go over the ridgeline.

and what did she say .?

Well, cramped isn’t the word, but she begrudgingly let me in.

Bought the cooker unit to suit the mug together with a used bottle that will nest together. Bought a highlander spirit burner half the price of a trangia burner. Used it today seems fine.

Local Lidl have folding saws in. Worth a punt for €3.99.

Found that the highlander burner would leak in transit. Not a huge problem as I usually drain the meths from the burner after use.

A new shirt for summer activities.
Did some modifications: removed the Union Jack from sleeve, removed the velcro strips on arm pocket.

I got a Tatonka stainless steel copy Trangia, so I’m all sorted for steel stoves now with solo stove Titan and pot I’m all good.

Had a scan round the second hand clothes shops today and came home with a
Drizabone poncho, and a single Ventile Hiltrek jacket.

Darryl: I hope you enjoy making "Botanical Colors". Fantastic for rainy day experiments
and every bit as much entertaining to forage for the supplies. Baby food jars are #1 for field testings.
