Depends on the mug / pot but often they can be compressed just enough so they can be sprung free from the retainers they locate in.How do you get the tube onto the handles?

Re: Hot 1: hat 0 - what lightweight oven mitt?
Silicone tubing added to handles works well. Making sure the handles aren't touching each other when on the stove keeps them cooler too ... honestly it does. Me, I have a little square of silicone mat that I pick hot things up with, I also have a silicone band around the top of my mug, which I will ...

Re: Who'd have thunk it, an interesting article on Road.cc?
I often think there's a lot of confusion between 'saving the planet' and 'saving ourselves'. If we'd like to save ourselves or at least extend our potential time here, then yes, behaviour needs to change. Yet, if we'd like to save the planet, then eradicating the human race as quickly as possible wo...

Re: What to do about this tubeless sealant
You'd say the sidewalls are porous Lu and the sealant is simply doing its job. Is the tyre still going down?

Re: 8g meths stove help
No you can't. To work properly both the 8g and 22g stoves need to be 'sealed' by the base of your pot / mug ... I'm not saying it still won't work but it'll be much less efficient.You can also drill the windshield at the sides and push cut spokes through it, and the cup rests on them.

Re: What is the ultimate shelter
I imagine that the answer is as numerous as the people who use them and the attitudes they have. As Rich says, the Lunar Solo is very popular and ticks most of the boxes people have. For me however, the SMD Gatewood Cape probably wins as it's considerably lighter, packs smaller and as it's only a ca...

Re: Bivvy curious
How is a bivvy bag more comfortable?Much more comfortable than the Alpkit bag (only downside is the rab bag is missing a midge net)
You may find the RAB is somewhat more 'snug' than the Hunka XL, not much chance of getting a mat inside in my experience - or at least not an air mat.

Re: Bivvy curious
Not much to gain unless you spend considerably more. Do remember that some bivvy bags (especially lighter ones) aren't waterproof and only act as a bag cover, so will require a tarp.is it worth spending a bit more?

You might find a new mat is all that's required. We lose more heat to the ground than we do to the heavens.

Re: Bivvy curious
If there's budget to consider then it's hard to see beyond an XL Alpkit Hunka. I say XL as they offer quite a bit more room than a standard version which allows you to place your mat inside should you wish. Do you need a tarp? In truth that depends whether it's raining. If it is and you don't have o...

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
Not sure it quite works like that - footprint implies resting on the ground whereas a tarp doesn't, so a tarp can be set-up in dense forest etc when you might not be able to with a tent even if it were smaller.the footprimt size of my trekker stealth will be smaller than most tarps

I've dabbled for years but only with owls (it's a long boring story). I think I've had Teapot for around 25 years and he's probably approaching 30 now.Have you taken up falconry Stu?

Cheery because after some time, the sun has finally hit the yard. That might not sound like much but having the sun return to the Towers is something of a special moment each year

NRW have done some ‘restructuring’ effectively putting the trails under recreation and the centre under commercial so it could be that they’re going to get a private investor in to run the cafe and centre - that way NRW have no outlay for wages etc
