Woodland Free Food

[g79]

In winter the main difference in my kit is clothing,I just wear warmer clothes,the same still stands about lack of spare clothing.I just stay under cover or wear waterproofs.

Blimet G79! you must have deep pockets, most of us can even start to pay that price for a sleeping bag!

Not deep pockets,empty ones.I try to buy kit that does the job, there's nothing worse than an important bit of kit failing.If I take kit into the outdoors it's because I need it,I don't want to be wondering if it will fail and I certainly don't want it to fail.
One of the things I am happy to spend on is sleeping kit,if you have a bad nights sleep you will have a bad day too.

If your dossbag suits you and your happy with it then it's as good as mine because it does what you want it to.
There is kit I have bought and paid a fortune for that I wasn't comfortable with so it was moved on.
My bivibag is possibly one of the cheapest of its type.It keeps the wind off,it keeps my dossbag dry and it packs up small and light.I could have paid hundreds for one that does the same thing but why?If it works ,it works.

There are kit queens out there who have to have the most expensive brand names,I like some of it but don't see the point in paying lots for something when a cheaper item does exactly the same thing.
I have a titanium mug for drinking that costs over £30 because it will sit in a fire or on a stove,when the £1 plastic ones can do the same ,I'll get one.
My tarp is a standard DD 3x4 it's huge and waterproof,I could pay hundreds for the latest cuben fibre tarp but they don't come in the size or colour I want.
I try to rely on my ability to get by outdoors,that's the whole purpose of me being there.
