I succumbed to the urge to buy a 13ft Warbonnet superfly tarp, and I have to say that it’s the best decision I’ve made, since then I’ve added a pair of tarp sleeves to allow quick deployment and take down

On a personal note I can’t wait and considering re-naming the event The Burning Mask Festival complete with a symbolic fire pit. I’m surprised that any festivals are being allowed to go ahead by the government due to the potential of large numbers of people being in close proximity to others, add i...

Re: Would a Bivvy be any good?
Get a cheap hammock with bugnet from Amazon for around £20, or a slightly more expensive one from DD Hammocks, add a tarp for shade from the sun, or shelter from the rain. A tarp also makes a great place to chill out when setup in porch mode

Re: Hammock Wildcamping in UK
I’ve just taken delivery of a custom made Warbonnet Diamondback top Quilt that I order during the Black Friday sale, but the sting was in the import charges of just under £99.
It’s a 20’F (-6’C) rated quilt with +3 oz of 850 fill. This is to go with the rest of my Warbonnet hammocking setup
