Fishing Shelter?

[Johnnyboy1971]

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.
