my erect DD tarp ;)


attached them in forum hope you can now see them..


with us getting the larger tarp it gave me the option of a bit more material to play with managed to ..

hang the entrance end off a tree using paracord to the back webtex pole and make a hanging ridge....


but left the last hanging loop out...


pegged out the corners again ignoring the last corner eyelets at the back end...

after it was pegged out i folded the back end corners in on themselves then rolled up the bunch of spare fabric then run a bit of cord from the corner pegs across the rolled up bit to clamp it in place against the floor creating a sealed end to keep the wind out..

Picked up a whetstone too for maintaining the beast and putting an edge back on the mora :( seeing as the only stone i bought was my puck in my bob. Earlier in the week i ebay'd 50 steritabs, laplander, millbank bank and a little folding wood stove. Just a cheap dd tarp and bivy bag to find now.

Theres only one way to get rid of a mole........... (any Jasper Carrot fans here) ;)


we did have a problem with them at one point commercial mole smokes didnt work but they didnt come back having been subjected to 6 hours of 2 stroke exhaust fumes ;)



will show you the pack size when i dry it out and fold it, its done nothing but rain here all day.. i did begin to get a tad damp in the small hours last night so i just shuffled further in.. with hindsight if i had dropped the front entrance lower i would have been fine i did draw the entrance tighter with a S biner when it begun to rain

edit remember i took of it in its bag and posted this a few pages back it wont let me post an attachment as the quota has been reached :s

Was nice to open my cupboards and see my stashes though, sister and family live day to day food wise which I found shocking!! They never know what they will want to eat was their reasoning behind it. I had a word with them to at least do a weekly shop if the basics and then increase to a monthly shop. I was very shocked indeed!! :shock:
Just thinking about the paramol (I did a previous post mentioning I bought it too) and the newbies we have joining us. Paramol is mega effective AND addictive (I only use it for migraines when co-codamol doesn't do the job). Codeine is also famous for 'bunging you up' so make sure if you buy it you have a healthy stash of poo tablets as well ;)

Hope you don't mind me barging in here Decaff, it just struck me that some people may not know about paramol.......
