Too many times I've been driving down the motorway with a not very well wrapped ripe deer head in the boot. Too many times I've left them for a fortnight before fleshing as well! Putrid! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet a fully cleaned and bleached skeleton would fetch several hundred if not over a grand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gav 1,708 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I had this tied up and was going to take the skull, but the damn HSE had it towed to deep water by the fishery protection vessel because of complaints pfffffft. Now that would have made a good specimen, didn't half pong though. 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First off I like it and will happily continue to use it, the no frills simplicity is why i bpught it. Set up like it is there isnt the best for sustained rain, as i found out laying in a puddle, lol. A small basher over head end would be best. Its waterproof enough but suffers a bit from condensation. Comfy as f**k with the 5cm foam matress but that makes it roll up too big to be hiking far with. Loads of room inside, too much for me really but then ya can use all that room to pull ya bag and shit in. Was really nice setup as a lean too, rather than a bivy bag, more air flow. Adds significant thermal insulation to a 2 season sleeping bag. Very good for quick and comfy camping, but no replacement for a tent imo. Ideal for someone travelling about in their vehicle.

Did you at least take the backstraps off? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering if the condensation would be an issue. I've got a similar set up and the condensation is a pain in the arse so I don't use the over cover on mine now I just string a tarp over the top but it's light enough to man pack so that's a bonus plus it has a built in mozzy net .......
