Some like it Hot

Keeping toasty with a tent stove

By The Bimbler

It’s my ongoing mission… seeking the perfect compromise between minimum weight and maximum comfort when backpacking.

This little lot tips the scales at 11.5 kilos which is not particularly light but in fairness it all fits in a 58 litre pack and contains my full winter set up with everything for a long weekend including food and a tent stove

This marvel of Titanium weighs 737 grams including the chimney which is less than two tins of Diet Coke.

I’ll explain more about the safety precautions and other details in another post but all you need to know for now is the night temperature dropped to minus 5° while inside it felt more like the Caribbean.

beds are another compromise. I have lighter options but with spiky Sweet Chestnut husks littering the ground this innovative design removes the risk of a punctured air mattresses and is also a joy to sleep on.
