Hi mate,the npower is a very small table woodburner,its not a gasifier though,it incorporates a drop down burning chamber built into a small folding table....made from alloy and stainless,

It won't burn the grass, and you can get a very smart clip together bamboo table with legs,it all clips together..,the table is smart,even as a stand alone product..

npower.com👍..

I'm getting the DD,A frame,next yr for small stream fishing,possibly tenkara,and bushcraft...there's more to life than three plastic boxes, that go beep beep,as I know you already know...!!!

Also,I binned the water to go,it has a flaw,looking at a sawyer mini,...

Thats right, I have heard about it. I will have a look
Edit, will have a look at the Sawyer too, the WTG is a bit of a chore to use.
As you can see, terrain not suited for trolleys

I fell asleep on my unhooking mat sitting on my barrow last week done it now on a couple of occasions Over the years
But I do like proper comfort on an overnighter/weekend

When I bought the thinking anglers matt I dropped it indoors then went out, when I got back a couple of hours later both my kids were asleep on it

If it was just a bit longer I'd sleep on it myself

The jrc hi care was pretty good if you took the oval matt bit out and folded the cot bit up you had a pillow too

Trouble was, the water etc soaked in so after a while it reeked

We have probably forgot where we came from for me

Deck chairs, hanging onto an old brolly in a storm, crap gear, happy days

Nowadays we are more bothered about wiping the bivvy groundheet clean with baby wipes

I grew up fishing with **** all, fishing days and nights and I still prefer that today if I'm honest. I do have loads of camping gear though

Yes, at times casting would be easier with shorter rods.
I do consider to get a set.

I was thinking about them hanging out of that little boat, they'd be soaked and/or overboard if it was me!

That has not really been a problem. Casting from the steep banks have been a challenge thou.
And forgetting the paddle and having to use two bucket lids. Thats pretty minimalist. Glad nobody saw me then

Hi Megs,
That was pretty nice, I have actually been looking for a cartop boat for my seatrout/char fishing.
That guy seem to have his stuff organized, and to know how to cook some decent bankside food.

Hi Viking,
Looking at your loads
I'd rather tow the dinghy with a powered kayak LOL
And use a 9footer rod judging from the distances.

A need for speed...not cos I'm lazy 😂
