There are TWO go fund links below
Tributes have been flooding in for much-loved local fisherman and father-of-3, Stephen Kitcher, who has tragically died in a suspected carbon monoxide poisoning incident on the Isle of Wight.
The 47-year-old was enjoying an evening of night fishing at his syndicate lake – understood to be in the Arreton area – when the incident occurred earlier this month.
It’s thought that Steve was attempting to keep warm in his tent by using a briquette heated stove (COBB) when he fell asleep. It is suspected he then became overcome by the fumes and succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning.
His body was found the next morning when he failed to return home.
A fundraiser has now been set up by Advanced Hookbaits to raise funds for Steve’s wife, Michelle, and the children, to help cover the costs of the funeral. More than £2,800 has been raised to date on the GoFundMe page –LINKY POO
 
AND
Another GoFundMe set up by Claire Turner has raised in excess of £3,800 – LINKY POO

just a quick heads up... there is a gofundme set up for his funeral. even the smallest of donations would go a long way.

Ive seen some of these so called campers who go out in extreme weather storms,snow and loads of rain and they zipp doors down and fire a stove up in their little tent while weather rages around them,not only a danger of carbon monoxide but the tents are rattling around surely if one gas stove goes over the material inside would go up in flames.

I've seen lots of anglers do this over the years and know doubt anglers will do this again
Hopefully anglers will take notice of the dangers of theses actions
But now it's all about Stephen's family and friends

Given the heating or eating situation many people find themselves in, it's only a matter of time before some idiot fires up a Barbie in their living room. With inevitable results.

Saw a post yesterday where this chaps friend confirmed it wasn't a heater, he was cooking in his bivvy using a charcoal powered Cobb with the door zipped up.
Madness.

A real tragedy, my thoughts are with Stephen’s family and friends.
Agree, this thread is probably not the space to discuss the rights or wrongs of heating a bivvy. Plenty of other threads for that.
