The Wychwood Sloace is a nice little shelter and can be set low if needed.

Thanks Guys
I`ve seen the Solace and it looks good,
Is it huge and heavy when packed down? (light enough to hike with?)
Cheers

Tarp all the way for me,I have a True North (linky here) a very well thought out versatile and quality piece of equipment.
As for using it with a fire....why not I have for years and suffered only one hole (not even sure where that one came from, easily mended with seam sealer. I have used it as a hammock tarp, tent, porch for a tent and a group/cook shelter. And it weighs in at 1.8kg.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Hi Tim
I like the tarp idea but most of my camping/bushcraft is done on rural campsites so not sure
how they would take to a tarp set-up?
Thanks
Adrian
I think you should be ok Adrian, most campsite owners are just happy to collect their fee, probably charge you as for a single small tent. Once they realise you don't eat small children on toast for breakfast, you'll be welcome..
Or if you have a small tent to sleep in, the tarp can be your living area....(it's what we do )
Cheers

This gets pretty good reviews, and is dirt cheap;

I use a DD Tarp 3x3m picked it up for around £35-£40. Really Lightweight, and 100% waterproof. Can get holes in if not careful with fire placement however.
But for cost I think it is a really good buy. http://www.ddhammocks.com/products/tarps

I forgo the fishing bivvy and use a Tarp when fishing. I have plenty of trees where I fish so it works out for me.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.
