Re: Hello!
A few others can attest to the fact it pissed it down Sunday morning with a mild thunderstorm and I was dry as a bone so it does go to show if you put the extra effort in when thatching it does pay off

Re: Hello strangers!
Jason retired to his tipi with his lovely wife
- I collapsed in a quivering mess about 2am, it was a superb shelter but a wheelie bin round the back of £strechers would have been perfectly adequate in that state

Re: Hello strangers!
That looks very sturdy. I do like handmade shelters more than a tarp and hammock. Thats bloody good going 1.5 hours.
