  1. @stevenhorner had the summit all to myself at times on Scafell. Mid week, and very early summit.
  2. @pootsie121165 @terrybnd Terry's view on the Comic, and gear testing went down like a lead ballon. We loved it, Comic team hated it.
  3. PHD Minim 400. If it had 400g of down then the reg has 59.7 % down of total weight. Why am I not convinced?
  4. @stuartdorman @OookWorks I like that. I want some interns at work. Pay us to work. I like.
  5. @OookWorks @stuartdorman youngsters now want it yesterday, and don't get it when you say 'No' you need to earn that fiver. Bless em.
  6. @OookWorks one day you'll sell zillions of Oook items and have a team of workers, and hike most day. Today back to work :)
  7. @nigep @blgpackinglight @s_tranter_photo @oookworks all it needs is the guy lines sorting as the hood is going. Sound move.
  8. @nigep @blgpackinglight @s_tranter_photo @oookworks you seam seal the hood. All it needs to keep the rain out.
  9. @blgpackinglight @nigep @s_tranter_photo @oookworks its a great tent. Classic and works.
  10. @blgpackinglight @nigep @s_tranter_photo @oookworks those indeed and would need to change. Burt simple job for a skilled person.
  11. @blgpackinglight @nigep @s_tranter_photo @oookworks Not sure about guy points, but the base line is it can be improved.
  12. @blgpackinglight @nigep @s_tranter_photo @oookworks ground sheet and inner too. Pole hood can go if solid guy points added and then sealed.
  13. @JourneymanTrav @nigep @oookworks @ramblingmanuk I am now at a point I want custom made to fit kit. Sick of nearly right.
  14. @blgpackinglight @nigep @s_tranter_photo I am amazed folks dont have @OookWorks mod the comp and bin the pole hood, and make a light inner
  15. @OookWorks yea, but you wake up now to cold and rain most days up North. Worth a six hour drive for me, as rest time its sunny at home :)
  16. @nigep @OookWorks @JourneymanTrav @ramblingmanuk used Gpack on 2007 TGOC. Not bad, but I found better.
  17. @OookWorks @JourneymanTrav @ramblingmanuk seen them used and look bomber, and not heard a bad word about Crux.
  18. If we had this Pack chat on some forums by now it would all be, :) arf, barf and silly comments and insults. How I like Twitter.
