    dayvid got a reaction from finchey in Space ,The final FRONTIER X   
    Took my Frontier X out for a test ,yesterday
    Total weight with Vapour peak ,ground sheet pegs ect in the bag came in at 16.6 Kg.
    It fits a Nash SS3 Wide with around 6 inches clearance at both ends .and plenty of room inside .
    Clipping the arms in is relatively straightforward , taking apart does make you feel like you may bend them , but i didnt, how long the boss will last clipping them in and out (wear and tear) ,who knows .
    All in all, id say well made and an excellent bivvy

    The only extra i bought was the Vapour Shield ( Skull Cap ), really cant see the point in the full Mozzie front as it comes with a Mozzie door and Mozzie front s ,as for the overwrap almost pointless if you have the Skull cap IMO

    There is a back door entry (ooh err missus) that allows you to night it for £15 a night, by joining one of the local clubs that gives access, might need to do some research!

    I’ve still got my JRC STI Rapid Erection... it’s ancient! I got it when they first came out.
    they could have thought of a name that doesn’t conjure up images of a VD clinic, but still...

    dayvid got a reaction from elmoputney in Nash bushwhacker pole ?   
    From what i have seen of some of these poles {dont know the makes} they are quite bendy and fiddly to get in the right position at range.
    I have a  Maver 16M competition pole ,and if needed i could use this as its straight as an arrow when shipping out with the cupping kit , so this type of pole may be an option bought second hand

    Copied from a 2013 post on here , 
    BFM recipe - To make 16oz of base mix:
    2 oz Capelin meal
    3 oz Sardine & Anchovy meal
    3 oz White fishmeal
    3 oz Sluis CLO
    2 oz Acid Casein
    1/2 oz Kelp powder
    1/2 oz Robin Red
    1 oz Nutrapro
    1 oz Nutralac
     
    Description of ingredients:
    Capelin meal - oily fishmeal, 70% protein content.
    Sardine & Anchovy meal - blend of two oily fishmeals, 60% protein content.
    White fishmeal - (Provimi 66), heavy fishmeal, high in amino acid Lysine, 66% protein content.
    Sluis CLO - high quality egg biscuit bird food, contains cod liver oil, helps with binding and rolling.
    Acid casein - Pure milk protein, 90%+ protein content.
    Kelp powder - pure dried seaweed, rich in vitamins and minerals and trace elements that carp require for optimum digestion.
    Robin Red - bird food used to feed show birds such as red factor canaries, full of attractors that carp love including Carophyl Red.
    Nutrapro - Nutrabaits own branded milk protein mixture, contains lactoglobulin (approx. 50%) and lactalbumin (approx. 20%) and whey protein, 80% overall protein content, also helps with binding and hardening of baits.
    Nutralac - slightly sweet, high fat milk supplement powder for rearing lambs (other milk replacerments are available such as Vitamelo, a calf rearing product).
     
    So, there you have it. One of the best all-time carp catching fishmeals laid bare...
     
    Some classic attractor packages for this bait are:
     
    16oz BFM
    2g green lipped mussel extract
    20 ml Nutramino (or equivalent such as minamino)
    20 ml salmon oil
    4ml green lipped mussel UTCS flavour
     
    16oz BFM
    2g betaine HCl
    20 ml Nutramino
    15 ml salmon oil
    3 ml Caviar UTCS flavour
    6 drops of black pepper oil

    I used to park up by the haven car park, the beach road car park I used a few times, never had any problems to be honest. I used to keep the seats flat and leave the car totally empty so there was nothing worth stealing. That and my car was worth about £50 all in! (£20 if it didn’t have a full tank of fuel)
