I went on the main Helinox website back along,and noticed a cot that had longer legs,so when you sit on it,your similar height off the deck..like a normal bed chair..

This Chair one xl,I've been on about is brilliant,really good,its got thicker legs than the generics...its good..not cheap though..

Thing I like is,it fits bang on in my porter lite Barrow bag if you want,and the Korum transition mat as well,plus a bit of water,and my food..if I'm not carrying it..or filtering it..

My barrow kit,for a day is...minimal,...rucksack, on back...
Three sleeves,rods
Mhr,or basha...

If needed,katana500 for wood processing,woodstores,got a few around..

Am I the only one struggling to visualise this? Haven't got any photos or a diagram have you?

Best way is ..

YouTube plowpoint configuration..
Tie one end just below shoulder height to tree,post etc
Pull tight at the base,peg tight
Spread the wings of the tarp,peg loose at firstly
Get walking pole,raise walking pole two feet back from main tree,post..raise it up tight,the tarp should be tight....at this point..this give the peak dipped so to speak...

I'm crap at tech..or would gladly do pics...🤟

Yes,the 500,is very effective,its a pull saw,only cuts on the pull back,it is designed to be used one handed with limited wasted energy..

I keep my whole house warm using this,a bag of ovoids,and deadfall,its all I use..

I bring it with me fishing,and stock up,I ask permission firstly..also use it for cooking on a lixada, or uco mini...

(I'm fishing three waters,got wood drying out on all three)...
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
