Built three pot heaters, working a treat, hardest part was driving all over getting the bits as no one shop had it all!

Smaller, lighter, lower profile, subtler, smaller ground footprint, faster to put up and take down, easier to carry, takes up less space in the bag/on the bag, not big and blue.

Haha, that was so stupid! Really glad I had a spare set of poles in the car.

Classic example of not double checking everything when you repack the tent after drying it out. The dumb thing is mate, I then forgot to dry it out after that camp. It wasn't too bad, but not too good either. After the last camp...dried out, repacked EVERYTHING into the bag, and put it in the boot ready for use. I think I'll double up the guy-lines soon. Puppies make that a necessity.
