    Now you're starting to get the idea.

    So is it possible to be a poor Poshcrafter, or am I just out of my depth?

    Oh yes, there is a distinction between Posh and Expensive. I have some expensive kit, but then I'm out many weeks of the year and I want it to be both good and light. Posh kit, in my opinion, is things like pillows (proper pillows, not blow up pillows), pyjamas (though there is a case for PJs and sleeping bags) and filter coffee (OK, that's one of mine )

    The thought was running through my head... 'I like that idea.. I could do that.. Hummmm'

    I guess I would need a little rack in my billy to keep the flannels out of the boiling water, just so they steam.. who's up for a commission?

    Poshcrafter tip: You know you can use Exped (the best, obviously) dry bags to steam - with a boiled (sterile flannel)- any cotton cloths needed for a wet shave / discrete cleaning procedure.

    I think I might just be a hardcore poshcrafter....

    On my last camp (the only thing in my defence is that is was a static scout camp and my car was right next to my tent)
    I took.....

    A double blow up bed c/w electric pump.... A Double duvet and yes a real pillow.... lmao....

    Is there any hope for me or have I gone too far, beyond the dark side and over to the Posh side?

    Does anyone know where I can get an titanium version of my current backpacking iron?.. I'm quite happy with my multi-fold collapsible ironing board, I really would like a slightly lighter iron as this one is difficult to stow in my backpack. Do Woodlore sell them, does anyone know?
