i have this trakker stove and warm or cold weather it has never failed me, when im on the bank i have at least two cooked meals a day plus numerous cups of rosy and dont forget the boiling of the kettle to shrink tube new rigs and the occasional 'guest' dropping by for a cuppa too. i get thru about 3 canisters a year, i carry two and rotate them.

I have one of those, what tabs are they, you got a photo?

gotta say gagna, we have to go back to the roots when we look at things like this, a good mate of mine and his new girlfriend were waiting for my girl and i to meet them in a pub in brum before hitting the clubs, barbarella's, lacarno and rebbeca's etc but as we got off the train in new street we were told all station entrances and exits were closed for the night so we had to go home. being in the days before mobiles were widely accepted it was after my mate turned up absent at work the next day that i found out that the bernie inns that i was to meet them in was in a little disaray. after packing in my job that very day as i was working for an irish builder and held him 'in naivety' and his rellies fully responsible for the actions of the perpetrators i actually did a lot of reading on the irish problem and from whence it stemmed. imagine my surprise as i found out that it was the british rampant murdering of their wives and children, the appropriation of their land, the rampant slavery of anyone old enough to work land that once belonged to them. the exile or outright murder of anyone old enough to cause trouble ( the reason for the massive irish population in the usa today) all because of the englishmans greed for a root vegetable, the humble potato. after that i could see what they were trying to accomplish and that in the light of what had gone before. i had to also accept that they had only been shown the way by their oppressors of a generation or two before. we really do have to think about things these days

richard, i have got the cyprinus wide guy bed chair and you just cant fault the workmanship so i would see if you can find somewhere local to have a close look at the bivvy if you can. on a side note that bivvy looks almost identical to the hurricane that i have, goes up in exactly the same way and with the same components, you could bet that its the same one just re-branded and at a third of the price too

my last bivvy was a TFG 2 man pop up and that was why i got the hurricane 2 man but you could literally put the tfg inside the other and still walk round it, as for folded i would say that they were both about the same size folded but as the hurricane has aluminium poles as opposed to carbon it comes out at about 6-7 kilo without the overwrap which comes in the price too.

hey richard, i have got the hurricane AS 2 man bivvy, it is ginormus. you can easily fit two beds in and have room for a tea party in the middle if you fit the overwrap on and then remove the bivvy front you extend the size by another half metre and at around £200.00 its a bargain. they are on the EBay atm for as little as £130 too

modern day wizardry bud

me too, i am also driven by the inescapable fact that the individual bits that go to make up £150 worth of Delk can be picked up online for pence and so the only benefit in buying them is that they come ready assembled for you. it is the fan base that drives the price and if anyone was to come out with a set that equaled the Delkim for performance and at a lower price you would see that £150 tumble rather quickly in relation to the fan base shrinking

why are you starting off with so many rigs?? 6" hooklink with a knotless knot and a short hair has been catching carp for generations and is still a good place to start. the addition of a rig ring to create a blowback rig is the next logical step and every rig that is in use now is just a variation on the theme, kicker here, shrink tube to hold the hair on the bend there. there is an old adjective that i always think applies more to fishing than anything else and that is ''slowly, slowly catchee monkey'' start small and build YOUR OWN style from there would be my advice

dayvid, i think if you do the math you will find that your suggestion is a little bit more than a bit more, in fact it is fast approaching 4 times as much

do they catch you more fish than fox or prologic??

i have got a few banksticks and an unused pod with adjustable goalposts, can post pics later if you want? £500 the lot

nice winter pike that, i think the colours are much more vibrant in the really cold weather, well done

dont think they can find you a multi millionaire blond barmaid with a penchant for carp anglers from the east of England bud

would have been less contentious phill :lol;

Now your just taking the pee [emoji38] sent from my bivvy while holding a 50

i just bung all my gear in the back of my toyota hilux crew cab with a snow plough fitted (takes care of fences) and given enough room for extra fuel i can go for days without needing to take extra kit was tempted to upgrade to one of these but may be a bit of overkill, views please!!

looking at their website i would do one of two things. 1) avoid like the plague on the basis that EVERY one of those metric weights is off by almost 100% and if they cant get that right then it throws everything under suspicion. 2) phone them up and ask for clarification and possibly put the persons job in jeopardy who was responsible for the listing. 1 kilo = 2.20462lb and that would make the 0.35mm a whopping great 25lb breaking strain and not the 12lb listed. i just dont believe it

i would say that is a very unusual size bud, presuming that they are cm it gives you a size of 4ft 3in or 52inch by 1ft 11/4inch or 13 and a quarter?? strange size indeed. at the very basic level i use similar to this for stalking only. https://www.fishingrepublic.net/carp/unhooking-mats-slings/ron-thompson-unhooking-mat-standard-29111.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiAhNnCBRCqkP6bvOjz_IwBEiQAMn_TMcw_F6A8vKU2OpCAk1e7p3uNg5zC892vIDJdvAQdi9oaAqvj8P8HAQ when i am camping and stationary i use this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unhooking-Safeguard-Protection-Foldable-Carrybag/dp/B00I5LSD6E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1482076703&sr=8-4&keywords=carp+cradle if you are really on a tight budget the cradle can be found cheaper elsewhere

HAHAHA!! looks like you have sparked up some interest on that 5th pool james, i too am less than 15mins away and have never heard of these pools. i have fished middle pool by the fenns, i got a strange reception there when i took my stalking kit out of the car, two geezers walked over and started laughing at me, they were of the opinion that the only way you would catch in THEIR pool was to "goo dan T' cut and cotch a silverun, pernt T' wun sard red an chuck it on a tribble ook as fer aht as yo con, then yo gorra drag it back oo soo earsy laik. then yo maht git a tek. onny way yo gonna get a pull in ear chuck". yo shudda sid their ferses wen i chucked a flake at a ripple an dragged a uppa dubble aert o it, thay wuz a pikchur

plum sauce mate

Love it [emoji12] damn this tapatalk

so i would say just use three rods with different rigs and see what works then??

Nick, i get the theory, i really do BUT!! in practice it has got to let you down, say you are at a lake with mixed stock, say mostly lower doubles 8 - 15lb with a smattering of clunkers up to 30lb. now, you are targeting the larger carp but would welcome any scaley item on the hook so you start off with your hair at 2", you then get a couple of hours of beeps so assuming you are getting dropped by the smaller stock and gagging for some action you drop the hair down to 1". straight away then you get a screaming take and eventually net a corker of a mid 20 but the hook is way at the back of the mouth. now according to the hair length theory posited by yourself, that should never happen!! A short hair won't allow the bait the freedom to be sucked in, so the hook doesn't even go into the mouth. If the hair is long enough the hook will follow it into the mouth, then with that hook following the carp 'realises' a foreign object is attached or the bait has something with it it shouldn't, so attempts to blow that foreign object out, giving the chance for the hook to pr ick into the lip. The hair needs to be long enough for the hook to be taken in in the first place. yet it has and does quite often so what the hell am i missing here? if this were so then the D rig, german, and all others that utilise ultra short hair or other mechanics would just not work and everyone would be on long hairs up to 4" long?? god help me

think david may have found the manufacturer of many top range reels bud, it is identical in every way but the script on it and a damned site cheaper too
