Gazebo . . .

weve had many - many - many Gazebos over the years, that all ended up in the bin.

That was until we come across the "All Seasons Gazebos" heavy duty range

we have the 3m x 3m heavy duty version and the 4.5m x 3m Heavy duty version.



The current DiscoTent is based around the 3m x 3m version . .



here is is at Brands hatch:

Fire Pit . . . . . ?

most places don't like fire pits . . . and even stipulate NO OPEN Fires etc etc.

bit if you lucky enough to find a place that allows it then game on.


the idea is to keep the off the floor so they don't burn it . .


this is an old version . . . . Basically a small kettle BBQ, it worked great as a fire pit. Its small to pack away and easy to use.

this is a newer version : https://amzn.to/2NOk22V

we now have one of these awesome Laser cut steel fold up ones from: @evans1089





he does different sizes and even stainless steel..

The other popular option is good old recycled washing machine drum . . . but they are large to store/carry.

but great for larger gatherings. . .

this is @Lord Mfwic version.

would love a recommendation for a camping wardrobe if anyone has one. dont mock, I've come to the conclusion letting the wife pack a case and then fill one of those cupboard/wardrobe things is less grief than fighting through 4 rucksacks for clobber on a shower run in the morning.

Wear one set of clothes, wash and dry the other set = 2 sets.
Unless you’re helping on the local farm while away in the van the hand wash takes 5 minutes and the drying happens by itself.
