Plus one for Solar, I've been using the compact spider bivvy and the basic sp c-tech bedchair for the past 3 or so years and have found them both to be bombproof.

Definitely keep a set of gear just in case mate. I've sold up twice over the years and regretted it both times further down the line. I've been back into it for a few years now and am as keen again as I was as a kid. I am lucky as I now live in France and am having a great time exploring the rivers and big public lakes, I'm not sure how I'd be with the uk carp scene of today though to be fair.

Sounds like a thin tech friendly pair with loose woollen fingerless over the top might be worth looking into.

If anyone is looking for a cheap set of alarms, M&R Germany are doing Fox mini Microns for 14,95€ --> Here

I use an app called "Hey camera". You basically point the phone towards you, say "Photo" and it takes a shot.

I switched to barbless a while back, I've had no problems at all and so much easier to remove. Nash Fang X is a really nice, strong and sharp hook.
