Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll deffo have a look.

I’ve got the old fortis tech lite without the hood cover and it drives me mad.
I just put the head of the bed against the bivvy but always wake up with it on the floor.

Looking for recommendations please chaps.

Money not an issue, just decent flat pack down size so it can stay in bed when collapsed/deflated and comfortable, decent on neck support.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi All,

Am looking at the above power barrow and specifically after advice on how easy it is to pack down and set up each session.

I’ve got a 17 year old mark 2 car porter that goes in the back of my Audi A6 avant no problem.

Has anyone got one? And use an estate?

Tried looking on YouTube and can’t seem to find any videos of someone setting it up or packing down hence the question on here.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
MH

Hi All,

Once bought how long do worms normally last?
Any recommendations for storing them before a session?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

My Techlite is on my SP C tech bed - fits fine and is best bag ive ever owned by a long chalk.
Light, not bulky and it has no fleece - the silky material is so comfortable and warm.

My only slight gripes are...(so if fortis/snugpak want bring out a mk2 Im in!)

The zips ain't the best and sometimes catch.
Its very slightly bigger than the bed so moves a bit.
The strap that goes round the middle of the bed to attach isn't elasticated like my old fox bag.
It could do with a recess at the head end to stop my pillow sliding off - like I have seen on some new bags.
Needs a bed chair cover in winter as the cold can come in through zips.

If I ever needed a new one I will just buy the same again...or if they bought out a mk2 with all the improvements I will upgrade no problem.

Thanks for the replies chaps.

The Kayak is a Cambridge Zander that comes with the fishing rod holders.
It's a sit on top and fairly stable - I'm just learning the minute and have gone out to sea a few times. All good on the safety front (based on Youtube vids with PFF etc. ) and will practice with little trips for the foreseeable before I go near a fishing rod.

As for catching - anything easy to get a bend in the rod to start with.
Was thinking about Mackeral and feathers to start with and then move up from there as the experience grows.

Next stop is a local fishing tackle shop but as always get a few tips on here thought it worth an ask.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
