Save you some pennys that also...if you have enoigh hooks that is...

I think i only sleep n hour or 2 always clothed in sleeping bag...or try a hotwater bottle. Didnt mean asleep...just to take chill off inside...5 mins or so. But never leave it inside...after use i leave it outside to cool down and always take the gas cannister out/off...

Had a go at the Ronnie Rig...have the Gardener 1's already pre made... So had a go myself but with the Nash Claw (love these hooks)..only thing is nowere had any uni swivels so used quick link swivels...still not too bad.

I would never leave a stove or anything alight while sleeping...fair enough while your in it (with ventilation). VERY lucky to tell the tale...

I remember a story a few years back... On Tuesday, 15th March 2016.Nicky Cliffe was fishing his local lake when at around 11pm someone decided to pour petrol over his bivvy and set it on fire whilst he was inside, luckily his son wasn't fishing with him on this occasion but he often does and thankfully he managed to get away unharmed. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about his bivvy, bed, luggage, terminal tackle etc, etc as they were all destroyed by the fire (pic shows what's left of his bed 😔). All he has left are his rods, reels and alarms that were by the waters edge. remains are similar in a photo but wont let me put it on.

http://www.tacklebox.co.uk/tackle-box-line-test.html#/cmsPage/32 Have a look at this...i think Yonny(🤔) put this in a while ago...this helped me alot for my new lines...breaking strain..diameter Between ESP syncro and Diawa sensor clear....i went with the latter.

Im hoping before im 40 ......within 9 years.

Can not fault any of this.... when the kid id older and less dependent on me ... a trip to France. A week of fishing must be blooming lovely! Only 1 kid me...

At the start of spring a few days sessions (6-8 hrs) then summer do 24hrs with 1 or 2 48hrs planned (this is when i bring my son) Autumn back to 1 or 2 24 hrs then day sessions agagin until November (ish)...lucky this year as it is a mild winter.

Im out tomoz...to the lake i was at last week...hopefully a capture this time 🤞🤞
