  • #camping #survival #adventure and bushcraft. This DD Pathfinder Mesh Tent is a great addition to anyone's kit for the warmer months and bug season. It's a really lightweight piece of kit yet packs a punch when it comes to keeping the dreaded midge and biting bugs away.

      Cheers Simon, aye its great n light as a fella but still seems quite tough. I've had it for a few years now but obviously only use it in the midge season.
      This one is a 2 man one lol. But as usual a 2 man one is a 1 man one 🙄. You'd get 2 in it but I doubt you'd get patch in too 🙂. Perfect for me n Billy n our kit .
      Yeh were lucky with some of these woodlands and that ones a belter. I've never seen a human footprint in there. Just a few game trails . It's been managed in the past and some of the big old trees are ring barked from a long time ago. So not the safest on a windy day .

    I do like those mesh setups. I'm repairing a cheap Hammock that I seriously ripped the mossie net on trying to be clever and I'll sew some tabs on it and use it like you did last year on the ground. Sad thing is that I'm reluctant to go out currently as the long wet grass is crawling with Ticks, not so bad for me in my boiler suit, but for four dogs even with anti-tick treatment, the buggers still keep latching on and it spoils it. When it starts to get hotter and DRIER then they won't be anywhere near as active as they are now. I detest parasites of all types. Did Billy get two cans of meat, looked like those large 1.2 kg cans in front of the morning fire.

    • @RickTOutdoorAdventure1969
      @RickTOutdoorAdventure1969  4 місяці тому +2

      I'm with you about the ticks Robert. Horrible little buggers. Billy seems to have got away without picking any up this weekend. Yeh I like the hammock pitched on the deck. It's pretty similar really to this one. They're great in the warmer months with a tarp flying high over them 👌.
      One of those tins was mine 🙂. I chuck em int fire at night so Billy can't start rooting in em and cut his tongue. I then get em out int morning when cool n crush em and stick em in my pack 👍.
      Be cool when you get it repaired n modified. Can't beat modding yer own gear.
      Cheers Robert mate, been a warm one over here this weekend. Hope you've had a cracker mate

It's still solid. All my other tents have bent poles n damage from poor weather but the Banshee has been solid 👌.

Aye its a risky business but I've had a mate die on grade 3 too. Wrong place ,wrong time n a spray deck stuck on an underwater obstruction 😕. Used to love the adventure of the steeper rivers but there's Fantastic adventures to be had in the canoe with Billydog and a barrel of food n a fishing rod 😀.

    Tidy away that Rick. I have something like that I got last year just at the end of September i think. Nice, with Billy Dog. I have an axe but it's big and to be honest, don't really use it, apart from splitting wood. Do you reckon anything to the R rating thing Rick? I'm not it's that dependable - you hear stories don't you, of folk buying right expensive gear and freezing in the night. My kit is cheap and cheerful but I know it works, much is ex military. I'm a fat old lad so getting cold isn't really an issue.

      Haha lol , brilliant Mark, can't beat a bit of fat on the old bones to keep us warm. I'm a bit the same Mark with the gear. Just get something that does thd job n use it forever until it drops to pieces so havnt messed around with R ratings and I wouldn't pay big money for a sleeping pad in a million years lol. It's only the last year or so I've ended up doubling up on a few bits of kit cause I've had some stuff sent to me and I usually give that to my lads. Can't beat some of that ex army gear can ya . If my bones didn't ache in the night I'd still.be on a foam mat permanently 😀. Good these mesh tents though. I definitely like em n light as a feather too to carry.
