I was being kind, it's a piece of ****.

Trouble is the instant noddies will look at that and think it's a good idea and before you know it you have a tragedy.

TBH the post was probably best left up at least people could follow the thread and know they were dangerous and to steer clear.

The coldest I've fished in was -9, I know it was that low as the syndicate had a little weather station that recorded highs and low's, the other was on a Yately water, both times the lakes froze overnight.
I was only cold once, 2am jumping out for a drop back, a quick brew in the bivvy with the door letter boxed soon sorted things along with a quick top up of the hot water bottle.

As said clothes, hat and bag choice made all the difference in those temps.

It's incredible these are allowed to be sold. If you're not poisoning yourself with carbon monoxide you're setting fire to your tent. They're a disaster waiting to happen.

Fished quite a few night down to minus 6 under a 50 inch oval. No groundsheet just an unhooking mat under the centre of the bedchair. Good sleeping bag and cover and the right clothing made it possible.
