I don't think I've seen them.
Any photos?

I built a table many years ago to fit my bedchair. It clamped to the chair by using some form of arm that matchmen use, I built a table to fit it and it would pivot in and out so I could have it close to the bed or rotated out of the way and I could also rotate the table on the arm or slide it up or down the arm.

It was quite useful, until I got fed up of having to set it up, remove it after a session and just something else that I had to cart about and went back to the good old bait bucket. Did everything my table did and I could even store bait etc in it.

I was looking at two Nash table things yesterday...they seem to be aimed at the kind of person who has no intention of ever going home

Hard to find them now but a search on web brings up some examples.

I do like hearing about people making bits and bobs rather than going out and buying, sometimes it can be re inventing the wheel, in these 2 lockdowns I've tried to improve my home made rod pod, just can't, for me its spot on, so, I made a pair of stage stands, no welding or anything clever just very basic, again it works for me, if anyone wants to copy them let me know in this thread and I will post a picture.

Would be interesting to see what you've made - might inspire me!

Would the table be strong enough for a permanent array of necessities such as, can and bottle opener, optics, reading lamp, mirror and hair care set. Maybe add a battery underneath for phone charge and TV for late night porn viewing?

Bivvy table?
Bait bucket or tackle box works a treat.

I try, emphasis on try to be organised, so as I put my gear into the bivvy it goes in some semblance of order.
Food rucksack goes to the back of the bivvy, along with my hookbait bag. The main rucksack goes at the bottom of the bed, and Sky's food bucket goes under the feet end of the bedchair.
Bait bucket and chesties alngside the rucksack, with lifejacket carefully folded around the storm sticks.
My (Plano) tackle box is at the head end of my bedchair, and as I finish with an item I put it back in or on top of the tackle box. On top of it nearly always is my receiver and regularly used items, and cup.

I'm not saying a bivvy table is not an essential as 'Fox' type boxes might not be high enough, but I think we are often conned into carrying too much gear we don't need, and I am sure I am as guilty as many others of that.

Strange that, as when I am pike fishing my gear is a lot less, and even if I do an overnighter, the only additions are obviously the bedchair, then extra clothes, stove, food etc which all go into one bag.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
