Yep mostly trainers on too until recent years

I don't zip door down unless rain is coming in, trainers on, bag unzipped, headtorch on my head....... Ready to be out of bed and on the rod quickly. I've listened to people unzip bag, rustle around, unzip bivvy door then get to the rod ages after a run starts, too long in my opinion


Ps last few trips I've used slip on clog type shoes

Sod that, used to and it just ruins kit. I have my shoes by the bed, headtorch round my neck.dont use anything with a front so no door to deal with, and fish tight clutches to stop the run screaming off like many seem to like .

I didn't put wet muddy shoes in a bag, only if dry lol. And the bag can get aired out and maybe should wash it

. . .Lenser customer service is . . awesome. After my last long break from Carping (6yrs) my Lenser HR7 was fooked - the battery compartment had verdigris everywhere and even Dalectronics could not revive it . . .I gently moaned to Lenser customer services (even though I couldn't find the original receipt) as a punt and they sent me another one . . £FOC!

They didn't even ask for the original one back . . .amazing!

Bought the Nitecore NU25 on the recommendation of this forum, and its excellent. Small, light, and like the way when you switch it on its at its les brightest and you need to press again for brighter, rather than the other way round, bright to duller.

I've had a few different makes over the years such as fenix, petzl etc but have settled on the led lensers for the last few years. Currently have an mh10 and the newer h7r core. I can't talk about battery life with the h7r yet as its reasonably new but the mh10 I've had for a couple of years and the battery life is absolutely phenomenal. I fish regularly so its used week in week out and in the 2 years I've literally charged it a handful of times not because its needed it but because i thought I'd better had. It seems to run on magic lol!
Are you sure?
