I'm at RIAT this year - not flying in this time though. I'll be on the RAF Charitable Trust stand stood next to this microlight ...

Nice crate, I'll be Sector Marshalling this year as the campsite assistant roles are no longer needed. So i'll be out & about on a push bike all day (thumbs)

I saw cutlery pouches for sale recently, for a lot more than I paid for my cutlery...which came in a similar pouch since dedicated to carrying 2 sharp knives in the camp set. Or, like making jam, buy empty jam jars for £2 or buy jam for £1 in the same kind of pot. Or go buy a Bluetooth headset with a cable for £5, or buy a cable on its own....also for £5.

But the best buy I think I ever made was the 50,000mAh power bank that allows me 2 weeks travel without plugging anything in anywhere.

Good stuff.... what was the make of the power bank you purchased if you'd be so kind?

I can say I have ever been cold in my sleeping bag once. I Have been too hot many times.
After being cold one April I decided to buy a new bag and went for a Snugpak Winter rated bag. It is too (insert expletive) hot even for Spring and Autumn and useless in summer (even in Scotland). Be careful about buying a bag based on being cold, it probably isn't the bag. At least this bag has a zip and you can cool down.
If you are cold try a bag liner, thermal undies / base layer or as has been said above, get yourself off the ground.
I use a single person framed bed, and while a bit tricky to get together is very comfortable. The artic rated bag has a hood which makes a good pillow.
