Ripped my hammock. Went to see Mat at UKHammocks. Fix in progress. One Superfly "better" off

My post man came and went.

Got a hole in it now. Bag of arse!

Two clicks I reckon. Have set up one, was a while ago, non-spanner monkey disclaimer.

Having received a package of line and gear my immediate opinions are "feck me these things are tiny" closely followed by "blimey, this Zing It really is very yellow". I have no other worthwhile or useful information to add. My career as a gear tester is likely to be extremely sho...

Was surprised UKhammocks haven't brought those in but no doubt there's a reason.

Gone for a Fly and some hooks to make a full length ridgeline. Lets see how it goes 8-)

LIke it says, wondering if anyone used them. Any feedback / opinions etc.

job done!

Well, apart from they're out of stock and it's "only" 2.8 by 2.4m. Although not small per se it's not quite the size I was after

Whenever you start posting I should shove my fingers in my ears and start singing la-la-la

Fancy a larger tarp that stands some chance of covering 2 hammocks. That'll only be an occassional set up so I hope it'll double duty as a big, when-weight-isn't-acrucial-issue, better cover in the less clement weather alternative to the asym' one that came with my Hennessey. Possibly hoping for too...

Oh you little star. Finally back in Blighty, will PM you details. Ta.

Cheers fella. I will happily make a donation in beer tokens for time / materials / postage / etc and give you plaudits via the SingletrAction site 8-)



if it works

It's one of these:

That's the best I can do at the mo' as it's in my garage and I'm in Gibraltar If you need proper dim's I'll sort it out when I get back.

Have recently used a Trangia burner in the largest Ghillie kettle. Worked but seemed slow compared to good wood. Would a "bespoke" stove work better do you think? And if it would, does anyone fancy explaining it to an eejit or knocking me one up for beer tokens? And before you ask, I have ...

Yep, was aware of the potential issues from a 2/3rds UQ but wasn't anticipating using it in the grimmer/colder months. Main aim was looking to save bulk and weight (for bike packing) over a Fairydown pit (c.1.2kg) and a Alpkit Wee Airic mat. Let me know what you'd be after for the supershelter. I'm ...

Looking at the sale (which ends tonight) on UKHammocks site I'm wondering whether it's worth splashing nearly £250+ on their "lighter" TQ and UQ combo. Would be to go on a Hennessey Expedition Asym which, although I've had it for a little while, has had an embarassingly small amount of use...

OIC.

Given I've got a Hi Gear Blaze would it make either of the aforementioned (god's own metal) pots a better / worse choice?

Not knowing anything about titanium crockery but, is it worth the c.£10 extra over the Alpkit Mytimug?

To use some of this bloody gear I've been stockpiling Don't care when or where but subject to all the various time and opportunity issues of having the usual full time job, 2.4, dog etc.

A January in Gibraltar and its tunnels means SFA at the start of 2012. Roll on Feb' :(

Our efforts to reinstate the inner room at Moel Prysgau at our October meeting went well and a touch of relative luxury has now returned to replace the 'baronial hall' feel of the last couple of years. Hot of the press in the Winter 2011 edition of the MBA newsletter (No.178). Isn't everyone a memb...

Is this the stove where the review concludes:

The Bottom Line - if you're looking for a light, compact and simple way to warm something up then you shouldn't go far wrong. If you need to boil water then you might be better served elsewhere.

Vast majorioty of wind turbines likely tobe off shore but they're harder / more expensive to develop so on-shore is easy win at moment and finacial incentives / ROCs stuff makes them attractive to developers. UK is signed up to a "power from renewables" percentage with Europe and so they'r...
