    Complete noob... Pitching right now

    Hi all, It wasn't the fly sheet that was sagging, it was the inner tent, which has no guide ropes, only a couple of peg-downs. It kept the rain (and I had a lot) out though, but I'd love to know what was going on with that. I "could" have pulled it a bit tighter, but not that tight. Going to...

    Complete noob... Pitching right now

    Ahh...I didn't check that. So this has an inner tent and the blue fly sheet... Are you saying I should pull out the pegs holding the inner tent poles down and extend/stretch the guide ropes then reseat the fly sheet? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Bushcraft Meet-Up....What Happened?

    Hi guys I just want to say that it's videos like that that made me drop quite a lot of cash on camping gear so I can stay and get it sold camping on my own. Does anyone have any recommendations for quite quiet venues in the Midlands or surrounding areas that DON'T close at the end of October...

    Oh cheers man! I'm trying still....I'm one of those people who is ALWAYS going to have to watch their weight. Sadly I'll not be able to attend the North Wood meet as I was planning due to my Wife's post-op recovery, but I'll get a tent and some bits and I'll be along soon! :)

    Thanks Greg, I'll look to get a couple of bits and bobs. Is there a drop dead date I have to confirm by, or can I cut it fine? Reason for asking is the Wife is having an op on the 12th and I'm unsure as to her recovery. Thanks for the help thus far guys!

    North Wood October 27~29 2017

    Would this meet up be accessible for a complete and utter beginner? I have no kit currently so if anybody can point me towards where I should be looking for some basics, that'd be great. Cheers all and if I can get some stuff, I'll be on board for the Saturday night.
