Very nice video! Just noticed where you are. My wife and I spent a weekend at Rowborough Stone Barn in Shorwell 2 years ago and loved the area and people (and beer). The coast is absolutely fantastic!

The wife and I are watching your video again. Will show my son and his family also. Beautiful area there! Again, great video!

I'm quite lucky JT manage to get a lot of varied camps in here considering how small the place is

Watched 4 times now with entire family - everyone loves your accent! It may be a small isle, but its mighty nice looking there. Wife wants to go back and stay a week or 2 after our little house gets finished to see more of the place.

There isnt one that I know of. In the Gulf war/other areas we used ponchos and regular stretchers. I've only seen them used by the Brit/Aussie military. I think they are still issue even today. They were highly prized on my side for their versatility even though they were heavy. Ebay is flooded with them and I think I'll go ahead and get 2 or 3 to keep in the families cars. They look like a lot of fun!

Nice one JT. They are really versatile, spent a windy night on a cliff top under mine on its last outing I love the thing. Bit expensive over there tho.

Yes, a bit expensive, but the whole kit is worth it. I like the poles too! Cant wait to try your method making a fast bridge. Bring along some mosquito netting and your good year round. Now the wife wants one too. It was just going to be one for me to play with and one for our son. This can go in the go bag for sure.
