hi,
Slightly confused if the sierra sniveller is still available?

If so, and if you're happy to ship to Scotland (at my expense obviously) then "I'll take it"

hi folks,
Here in the UK I guess we have two main issues: the dreaded 'midge'; and deer ticks.

Midgies are a 'pain' - I've seen them in clouds so dense you end up inhaling them - and while they...

Now that was a bit funny! I thought he was remarkably cheerful in the circumstances. Are you guys always so happy when cold and wet at 6am, or was there a little hint of 'internal warmth' there?

hi 'shaman',

Had to have a wee look - hammocks and canoes - perfect combination! Also had to try and find out which Loch an Daimh you went to - I can find about 6 or 7 listed, but it looks like...

I'm never sure when looking at these British Army bags, which model is which.

I have one which was sold as an 'artic' model and I'd second what 'Royal Engineer' has said, you won't be cold, but...

hi there Laochri,

When I first saw this username, I thought there was something 'Gaelic' about it. (Scottish Gaelic is my first language).

I'm with you on the meaning, fits well enough, but -...

hi guys,

I did a search on this topic, because I was looking to ask almost exactly the same question about my MW4 and ORM quilts. I have no issue with the weight of them just the packed size.

Hi MW,

I'm sure the roller coaster is bouncier than usual today!

Just get in touch when you have an idea what your shift pattern will be and when might be a good time. I work Monday-Friday so...

hi there MW

I probably have more options than I ought to at this stage....

hammocks - WBBB; BMBH and DD frontline,
quilts - JRB top and under-quilts; snugpak undrquilt and another down 'UK...

Hi there,

I have a Frontline and can compare it to a WBBB and BMBH. In my opinion it's good enough piece of kit.

Cons - a bit small for a 'big person', certainly by comparison with the BB, but...

just as an alternative to holes and bolts (no problem with them but they're obviously fixed locations) I bought/use "C clamps" - at least that's what they're called over here.

They don't damage...

Jazilla - thanks for that - will definitely need to research 'zippers' now, or watch the Grizz vids.

I-NT

Yea - I didn't mention the calf/ridge thing in the BB because the OP hadn't mentioned...

hi Jazilla,

If by 'pull off the old' and 'put on the new' you mean anything involving a sewing machine, then I'm afraid I'm with Mark! Not been near one for a few decades, and while I don't doubt...

Hi Mark,

I'm in the UK, and a 'BMBH' user, though I'm afraid I'm in no great rush to sell - sorry. I just thought I'd reply on your aspirations for the hammock - particularly in hoping that it...

good discussion guys.

As someone who wore a kilt to sunday school as a lad, and on any number of occasions since,I had this idea a couple of years ago, it just kind of came naturally when wearing...

freecamping is almost impossible in the UK

Not so Grasshopper! There's a distant land, far to the north (but very definitely still in the UK!) where more enlightened views prevail.

Wild camping...

Hi Michael,

Hi Shewie,

Interesting! I started with a BMBH and have added a BB, and you've gone the other way round! I got a BB because I thought it would be slightly better for winter use, when I could pitch...

Another consideration with the DD webbing might be how much moisture it holds/wicks?

I got concerned about this after my first couple of test hangs in the back garden so I changed mine: first of...

That's exactly what happened with me. I ordered the combined suspension package, so while I thought the shipping to the UK was a bit of an "ouch" it wasn't bad enough to make me question it.

Then...

thanks all,

got one reply on SotP where someone else remembered the pic, and thought the hammock had been strung up between a 'staple' fitted to the rear roof panel, and the front end hung through...

Folks,

Once upon a time, on the internet, I came across a picture of someone hammocking inside a Land Rover Defender. I think it must have been a 110 (cab of a 90 almost certainly too short!) and...

hi there,

This is also something I'm very interested in. I have two kids (9 & 12) and as yet haven't done any hanging with them, but keen to try soon.

My concerns are that over here (scotland)...

not disputing that others may have had different experiences, but my own has been pretty positive, and thought I'd just add it here.

I ordered a tarp from Brian for overseas shipping to Scotland...
