I have a seek outside wood stove, similar to kifaru or ti-goat stove. I like the idea of a warming tray extension, but have been thinking about whether there would be any benefit to a tray beneath the stove? Specifically does anyone think that a deep baking tray fixed beneath the stove could...

I am planning on camping in the Austrian Alps in early June, and intend to take my Bergans Lavvo, with woodstove and chimney. Since I plan to mostly be on campsites, does anyone have any experience of whether tent stoves are permitted in general? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am currently planning a serious multi-day hiking trip in the Austrian Alps, most likely in the Tirol. Has anyone got an experience of this? I have hiked there many times, but never a multi-day, so I am looking for tips on routes, essential kit etc. My initial thoughts draw me...

While camping in Sweden last October with my small Bergens Lavvu I noticed that one of the ladder locks on adjustable peg loops had broken. Essentially one side of it had snapped so it still functioned but was bending and i didn't want to risk putting too much strees on it. Obviously before...

In a couple of weeks I'm heading off for a weeks solo canoeing and wild camping in sweden (my fist such adventure) and while sorting out my kit I have noticed that my Mountain equipement Helium mat is deflating raidly. I submerged it in the bath to try and find a hole with no luck, all I did...

was thinking earlier about music that puts me in an outdoorsy mood, or maybe music I sing to myself while out walking. So thought I'd see if others here have particular music that makes them think about a particular place or being outdoors. For me, since I'm a folk musician it's mostly folk...

Couple of questions for you all. First off, has anyone got any tips for doing washing up in the wilderness? By which I specifically mean what do you take with you? Sponge? collapsable bowl? Also are there any detergents that are non poluting? (By which I mean anything ranging from natural...

I'm planning on taking a trip next summer to some Swedish Wilderness, but not having been to Sweden before I'm not sure where to go. I plan do some reasonably long distance walking/backpacking with my lavvu, and had thought of doing a section of the Kungesleden. However I want to go somewhere...

Hi, I'm finally planning in getting a folding stove from Seek Outside for my Bergans 4-6 Lavvu. This is similar to the the kifaru and ti-goat models. However I don't want to use a stove jack as the lavvu already has a huge vent in the top, so does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can...

Hi all, I have been mulling over buying a new rucksack, and have pretty much decided on Fjallraven. They just seem to make well designed (e.g. a main section that can be completely unzipped from the front) and durable, without being neon. Also they do lots of womens models that arn't pink or...

I'm off to the Austrian alps in a couple of weeks for a bit of camping and walking, using my Bergans Lavvu. I normally us a Honey stove with hexi tabs in it, but I understand that hexi tabs are not allowed on planes? In which case what can I take instead? Is meths ok? Or could I use wood base...

A couple of months ago I bought a bergans 4-6 lavvu, but have had one chance to pitch it. What I found really difficult was pegging it out in the right shape before I put in the pole. It has no ground sheet and so some parts of the tent seemed to be over stretched while others seemed loose. Are...

Hi all, I am looking for some clothing for wearing while walking, camping and doing outdoorsy bushcrafty things. Ideally I'd like to find some stuff that's tailored for women as I find mens stuff is either too big or tight around the chest, plus I am a little vain even when it comes to outdoorsy...

Hi, I have recently purchased a Bergans 4-6 lavvu, and mainly got it because of the option of having a stove/small fire inside. Would be interested to know if anyone has experience of using a Honey stove in one and if there are any tips you can give me? thanks Emma

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a 4-6 man Bergans lavvu and combining with a Ti goat wood stove. Does anyone have any experience of these stoves or tents? I've seen mention here of Bison, and tentipi but not Bergans. thanks Emma
