I have a little bit of time off so I thought I'd visit some of the UK dark spots with my camera. I don't see much point in staying at a B&B since I expect to be up most of the night so I'll just sleep in the back of the car.

I'll need a small hob to boil water though (outside of course), it'll probably need to be one of those little butane ones. I seem to remember a recall on some though, anyone got any advice?

Perhaps I'm thinking of this recall, mentioned on this very page, that I didn't notice until just now smile

Cheers all. Yeah I'd seen those small hobs rebranded everywhere, I was wondering about the quality but I suppose for a tenner you can't really go wrong. I can sit outside and cook on the boot with the tailgate up.

Good choice, I have a nice selection of Maxpedition bags, 9 in all I think!

Jep, which hard case do you have?

Considered that, but it'll probably eat the battery (despite the fact I'll have a small leisure one with me for an amateur radio), but then I couldn't do a quick bacon-and-eggs or something.

What ones you got???? I've got the12x5 bottle holder the fatboy versipack, a monsoon a jumbo edc, a noatak, a mag bag pals, a couple of mpb's, a laptop satchel and I've order a neat freak this afternoon. Love them.
I use this lot often,

Falcon II, with a mini rollypoly tactied to each side
Condor II
Sabercat (the best gadget bag ever known to human-kind)
Proteus
Neat Freak
Fatty
Chubby
Beefy
2 x Mini

The Neat Freak is great but I found it a bit cramped inside unless you remove the inner divider, depends what you'll be using it for. As a "man bag", or something to carry stuff in when you don't have enough pocket space as most people should call it, I tend to use the Proteus or Neat Freak, using the Neat Freak's shoulder strap with both. I'd like something between the Proteus and Sabercat but you can't have it all.
