Do what Mike says. Keep your heavy stuff for the Ben. Shorts and trainers for the WHW. Get any lightweight hard shell that fits and ignore the marketing hype, buy the cheapest one that fits. Same with your fleece. A bum bag is a good option for your sweaty back issue.
Do a search on OMM Mountain Mover Product Manual and you will find one in Doctstore. If I was clever I could do the link thing, but I ain't. It won"t tell you much.
You have probably bought the one that I went for a few months ago on EBay, only it was listed as a Villain, so it went back.
I had an MM a few years back. Didn't like the hip belt or floating lid, much preferred the Villain, but each to their own.
Yep, what Shewie/Waldo said. A summer overnighter needs very little gear. You learn very quickly what your comfort level is and for me it was a Karrimat, for ground insulation to give a good nights kip.
Stove? Why?
Shelter? A weather forecast will tell you if you need one or not.
You can either mimic others or do your own thing.
One of the issues has been resolved. I received a batch of email notifications this morning. Still unable to reply to messages though. One of the joys of using a Mac it seems.
Apart from my old Vango Force 10, knackered but has sentimental value, I am currently tentless and am quite happy that way.
Along the way an Akto has come and gone.
A Comp was too flappy.
MLD Patrol Shelter should have been held on to.
MLD Trailstar was okay, too much parking space.
MLD Solo Mid was a mistake.
Will I get another one? Don't really know.
