Choosing a waterproof based on its weight and/or packed size rather than the ability to keep you dry :roll:

When making a net tent to go under a tarp, laying the netting out on the lounge floor, marking the panels with blue dress-makers chalk and being impressed with how well it shows up on the net only to notice the blue lines are on the carpet under the netting :oops: luckily it hoovers off or this would be my last post before Jane buried my remains under the patio :lol:

I forgot to pack my gas canister on Sunday. I put it down to the fact I used a different pan set so my routine was 'changed'. Anyways, thanks to JC and Allen for loaning me some gas.
