Re: Wheels for big guys
SJSC are wrong. I have bought wheels off them which broke. I am heavy. As an example, watch Mark Beaumont's films where he repeatedly broke spokes on a 32 Rohlof.

Re: Re-proofing a tent groundsheet
If you want to farm out the job, Scottish Mountain Gear, in Musselburgh, does tent repairs. I have had them do a couple of zip repairs which turned out OK, but I haven't seen their groundsheet repairs.

Re: Cooking on small gas camp stoves
Single burner cooking. Some single burner stoves can simmer a bit but a lot are a tad crude. Good results can be achieved by keeping it simple. I am assuming that the cook is using a single pot with a decent lid and that the available cutlery is a dessert spoon and a pocket knife and that the cooki...
