[barbel master]

After realising that my bright orange bivvy was useless, and becoming sick of sleeping on the floor.
i finally decided to spend some money.
so i have bought myself a daiwa mission overnighter and a daiwa bedchair.

so i have gone from this

TO THIS




My local tackle shop gave me a discount , and it cost me 100 pounds for both ! And they also gave me a lift home so i didnt have to carry anything.

the daiwa mission overnighter and bedchair are good quality and as the nights get colder i am going to buy the overwrap for it.

Hopefully they will bring me some luck !!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one mate, one tip for the overnighter, dont over-tighten the alloy locking screw as my mates seized and he had to break it off, I put a little bit of grease on mine and its been fine.

[barbel master]

chrz for the info, i will put some grease on before i use it. Just got to get a good sleeping bag now, but im not going to pay tackle shop prices, been looking at swiss military ones on ebay they look good.

I use my old Army one and its bang on, but i would probably use a lighter one for summer, I bet you could pick a half decent one up from soccer sports or sumfin

HAHA yeh....buried as low as you can get in it - hood pulled over your head so you resemble something like a 6 foot green maggot lol.. im sure it was just the army socks that gave em the smell .. Deffo done me proud on Chesil a few times too and although they aint ultra lite they do roll up into the hood and are damn cosy !
