    You're a very lucky boy Justin. You must have saved all your brownie points all year to find that lot around the tree this morning.

    When you ever get a chance, would you do a vid review on it as its one of the setups I've been looking at recently. Did you get it with the DD pack as well. Is that the titanium Trangia pot stand as well.

    Was thinking about a video on it as a before and after as a few modifications are in order such as a fixed ridge line. There are a few places I pitch up where the tree distance does not allow for the 30 degree hang and a ridge line would get over the problem. There are a couple of videos on the DD site and Adrian from Northwest Bushcraft did a good video but can't find it on the site recently.

    That is the Evernew titanium trivet as I lost my other somewhere on Exmoor. Gutted when I realised it was missing as it is a critical part of my setup and used all the time. Glad to have a replacement.
