My little fox bivvy table died on me and needs replacing. Looking at the Nash bedside station. Anybody have these and can give any input?
Looks like a good table to secure tablets/phones/wallets etc. And like the fact hides cabling etc from charging pack. Also looks like it fold down nice and small.
Any info would be appreciated.

Got the nash and it's awesome totally solid and love it. Had the avid bivvy organiser used it once and sold it to get the nash.
My dodgy legs after 16pts of stella are more stable than the avid legs.

Does this take up a lot of room in bivvy? I use 2 bivvy tables and trying to get rid of one.
Cant find any pictures of one actually in a bivvy.

My brother has the whole set of Nash Bank Life stuff and really rates the whole lot, all he needs is Ainsley Harriot to whip up his grub now.

I picked up a Hi-Gear Elite 3 cupboard that folds flat. All for just £34 on flea bay. Might be a bit big for some but for me I like how it has two storage compartments and a large surface area on top. Fits nicely inside the XD without the infill alongside a wide bedchair.

Just been checking sizes and the millets one is 60cm x 52cm x 67cm (WDH) were as the Nash one is 40cm (h) x 40cm (w) 33cm (d).
Looks like the Millets one will take up more room in the bivvy compared to the Nash Compact..

About 20 years ago, I came up with an idea of how good it would be for a tackle company to "invent" some bivvy furniture like a set of cupboards, but as there was non, I invented my own.
The first one was a set of 3 shelves on legs that I could collapse, but it was bulky.
I then created 3 shelves with paracord through all the corners and hung it up from a long bankstick inside the bivvy, but that was only any good if I was not using a groundsheet.
So my next effort was three slats of wood horizontal and two vertical slats which locked together like those things that you used to get to put ornaments on the wall back in the 60's, but that was a bit narrow and unstable.
My next idea was to buy a set off those plastic drawers with 4 drawers in that you can get from the likes of Wilko's etc for about £12 to £14 and reinforce them, and use them instead of my tackle bag. Straight out of the car and into the bivvy loaded up with all my tackle or onto the barrow. But, I never followed it through and found another use for the drawers.
And then I thought, what is the point of carrying some shelves or a cupboard, stock it up with stuff from my tacklebag/foodbag etc, and then when I pack up, empty it and put it all back in my bag. I find packing up a pain, but this was creating extra work for no real reason.
So I dropped the idea and just got one of those storage things you put on the back off a car seat for about £5 from Boyes etc with lots of pockets in, especially if you divide some of them up by sewing some partitions in and just stick it to the side of the bivvy with magnets and that is what I just use these days. I can pack my bivvy up with it in place or remove it and fold it up with it still packed and put it in my bag.
But, reading about the Nash "thing" its got me interested again, but not at that price, that Hi Gear one looks good though, Aldi's do them as well during the Summer, but, our Lass has thrown a plastic veg rack out that fits in the corner of a pantry etc, stands about 3' high and has three shelves and comes apart so I might bring that into action, if I can mentally unblock the pointlessness of having to "stock" up a cupboard or shelves from having things all stashed in a sensible place to start with and then having to put them back in the bag at the end of the session.
Aldi do two types, a tall one and a wide one for about £35 and £39. Probably be on sale again this Summer:-

I can appreciate you pay for carp tax etc but you also get some additional features the aldi or hi gear ones don't have like adjustable legs or entry points for cables etc.
At the end of the day if this table lasts me a few years the £79 really isn't a lot. Hell thats not even a good night at the pub anymore 😂

The Hi gear ones seem to be wider, longer and deeper and will take up more room so might be a tight squeeze in a 1 man bivvy. Plus they arent green

Just received mine and like it a lot. small and light packed away. I bought the compact and more then enough space for what I need. They do also make a larger standard bedside table btw which is 64cm wide so in line with the hi tech or aldi ones for size/space
But for my needs the compact is perfect

The twist and lock legs are a bit naff tho I received mine and they don't pull out. They seem really tight.
