Emergency guy line attachment

Product/Skill: Tents/Sleeping bags/Mats Interest: Camping

If a guy line attachment breaks whilst out on the hill, a good way to make an emergency attachment is to use a coin (2p or 10p is best), push the coin into the fly from the inside surface and grasp the coin from the outside surface. In effect you now have the coin wrapped in flysheet, and can then re-tie on the guyline behind the coin which acts as an anchor. You can use all sorts of other items too, balled up sock, screwed up paper, etc etc. can also come in handy as ektra guy points in v windy conditions.

Belt Attachments

Product/Skill: Travel Equipment Interest: Walking

Keep a lightweight karabiner clipped to the belt of your walking trousers then anything with a belt loop attachment can be clipped on or off quickly and easily without the need to undo and remove your belt. No need to take the krab off when not in use as it will lay flat on your side naturaly if its leaned on.
