gom, what sort of tent do you use, for all year occupation? And do you have a stove in them?
(I am just ASKING, okay, Judith, Pookie, Mochyn!) |
The season isn't all year, just April to end Sept. Using polyester tents at the mo but they are not up to it, the UV is doing them in after 3 months - tears appear etc. Crap really.
So now I am buying canvas, which should hold up much better, including a rather nice Lavvu, a Bison Tundra 4, which has a cotton/polyester mix.
The Lavvu is my personal tent and I do have open fires in it, it will take a stove but I transport my kit on a motorcycle so no space for that. Check out the Bison range, the Tundra 8 and above would be perfect for 'permanent occupation.
I don't let the punters have stoves in tent, but I do give them fire pits for outside use.
A bell tent will take a stove no problem (but not an open fire), Canvas and Cast look to have some quite superior models. Bell Tent UK is the same tent as Obelink. |

i know the fella ,solid pottery with a bung

rug sorted
storage boxes with seat cushions sorted as are materials for fence agin chooks pigs n moos ,im not worried bout burglers but 13c piglets could be messy
fry pan ,big pan ,chopping board, toasting fork ,axe done
it is hard to predict what is really needed but so far im trying to cover the essentials
12v/inverter and dongle for interweb thing and 2 12v led strips for light
it gets odd ,what do i need to keep the 12v batteries full (got 240 charger but off grid would be ace) .we have wind ,the local water is static ,we have enough sun to run a small leccy fence on about a foot square of pv panels but pooter ,lights and recharge 1.5 v for torches etc is a bit hungry
