Hi
Has anyone used a fishing shelter instead of a tent for ground dwelling?
I`ve seen some half round ones with an open front so you could benefit from a camp fire,

Hi Adrian.
Check out the link below. It shows different tarp configurations some of which are similar the open front tent. For those with a tarp who do not have a fishing shelter it's a practical alternative.

I'm thinking a honey stove / small fire box type of affair. Anything bigger and you risk pin hole burns in all of your kit from any stray sparks

I quite often use a fishing bivvy or even a day shelter for overnighters. Very quick to put up, and comfy enough. A bit heavy though. Big fishing brollies are also quite useful for short trips in reasonable weather where you don't need a full tent. Still heavy though
My bivvy has a 'half groundsheet' - so the half near the door has no floor. It also has 'doors' that can be pulled a long way back, so using a stove is pretty safe.
Some of the carp fishing rigs I've seen are downright luxurious, but I wouldn't want to carry them!
