Maybe if we put the two of 'em together they'll cancel out?

I'll bring my double airbed and mini-compressor (complete with newly fitted plug to fit the Optimate charger lead)
There's plenty out there, pantrasher has one which fits into a mug, gas canister is similar sized, the whole thing is titanium and weighs sod all.

I love my little coleman stove and light, they're awesome...

Stove:



Collapsed, the stove head is about the size of my thumb, and the small gas can is tiny too... But it's still powerful. Not particularily stable but still good enough. The lamp is a wee bit bigger, but it takes the same gas cans and is still titchy.

That really is a very good description of yourself Tim. I'll pitch next to you if I can drink the other half of your bottle of whisky, won't hear a thing then!

And for this ......
