Camping Sites & Equipment

Ok, so looking at cooking stoves, got gas, got a pressurised flame thrower, quite good realy, so just fancy a change and looking at trangia stoves. Can't do with the whole pot and inverse pan thing, so looking at other stands. Any comments, help...
Need to upgrade my "night sack"........you know I wasn't built for speed, and never played on the wing :) I need comfort, good size but a size that packs down decently small. I am not after sub-zero temperatures either, I do not defrost as easily...
I'm after a new kettle for the national. Mines give up the ghost it was a cheap and nasty heavy bulky thing anyway. Been looking at the aluminium quechua. Any better ones out there
Youngest daughter is off to Kenya and needs a suitable tent to fit in her rucksack. Any recommendations? Apparently the Khyam Biker is too big! :cool2:
Hi Paul, Can you post a link to that tent you had at the National ? I'm trying , rather , hoping to get the strange one into a tent (bigger than my vaude at least :)) for next year. I remember we discussed it at the National, but I have...
If I'm going to start attending a few events again I need to refresh my stuff. So any recommendations on a tent that's Khan Biker size but packs down smaller. Looking for something good quality that will last. Also any recommendations on a good...
Last year at the national I spent the first night shivering with the amount of alcohol supped thinning my blood. Thanks to Pete and Debs who lent me their spare bag I survived the weekend. This year I'm taking 2 sleeping bags and I'm on the...
I am looking long and hard at one or other of the Outwell mats, anyone got any experience with the 7.5cm or 10cm mats please? Dreamcatcher is a lot cheaper, but the new Dreamboats do look really nice!! I am drawn to the the thicker 10cm mat for...
The solution to Helinox chair feet digging into soft ground. Those of us with Helinox or copy chairs know the problem of the pointy feet digging in when using them on soft ground. I have tried walking stick ferrules, tennis balls and tubes...
Flicking through the ABR Mag pages I came across the add for their Fairbanks.....20x77 and at almost 10 Kg in weight, is it really a serious contender for the biking scene...? Personally I stick to my Omega 350 but has anyone any experience of...
I bought a Helsport tent in 2010. It was quite a lot of money but I always get a good discount from Tamarack as a regular and local customer, plus I part-ex'd some stuff, and sold a few bits on Ebay to fund it so not a great deal of real cash...
I am in the market for a new sleeping bag, something that will keep me cosy down to -2 degrees or so will be fine, also needs to pack down small and priced at no more than £150 :shock: Anyone have anything they would recommend that fits the...
Im looking for a half decent tarp something like what Hudders had at last years National. Was that a 3 x 3 or a 4 x 4 metre. Any advice and where to purchase would be appreciated Cheers :respect-048:
I thought we can post up here about gadgets and things which we take along camping which really work well. The sort of thing you don't normally think of when you go camping I have a Phad x3 which i take camping when i go on my solo trips...
Some of you have expericenced Gary and Louise's hospitality before, but thought i would put the link up anyway http://bluehillscamping.co.uk/
For the past 5 years I have been using a Vango self-inflating mat which has been fine, it keeps me off the cold ground and is comfortable enough for me. Previously I was using various airbeds but found that I kept on rolling off them or they kept...
Anyone use their sleeping bags? They seem to get good reviews, British made, are they any good? http://www.snugpak.com/outdoor/sleeping-bags
For anyone visiting Almeria, Andalucia. Have a look at this place, its situated in a "Natural Park" lovely coastal swimming and beaches and quaint fishing villages, the Mountains are literally 1/2 hour away to explore and enjoy some of the best...
This might be useful for folk to consider as an alternative to a tent. I have been a paddler for many years, starting in 1962 with the Sea Cadets, and I have found an Aussie swag ideal for canoe camping trips. The swag incorporates a mattress and...
