Hipolito 150cp, accompanied by my Canadian Coleman 321 Easi-Lite. (Light stand, a welded structure made from defunct collapsible chair components, clamped in my Workmate) In daytime, Workmate served as a base for stoves … Canadian Coleman 431 Easi-Lite … and a Tilley ‘Tuckaway’ toaster Beautiful location River alongside … which I pitched my tent and cooking/sitting/hospitality tarp shelter next to Tarp caught the first rays of the sun at dawn John
@Rangie Alec’s alliteration astounded all admiring accolytes. Are you in the USA at the moment? I meant to take the Townson & Coxson military stove but forgot to pack it. John
Hmm .. hairy haikus’ hardly hevver happen .. Wales in the spring.. lovely! looks a good spot.. I remember visiting the castle on a Sunday ‘run’
How to conveniently support lamps 2 to 3m above ground level while camping is something I have yet to solve, but a B&D Workmate! For one, it doesn’t fit in my rucksack. Works well though...
The only solution if not car camping is to have a lightweight, compact ‘backpacking’ lantern - Coleman 222 or 226 - and to hang it from a tree branch. … as here If car camping bulk/weight isn’t an issue, and the Workmate was primarily my cooking platform and food prep bench. It’s multi-role use and ability to fold up to pack in the car made it indispensable. For ‘just’ a light stand I rely on disco-light stands. Again, a base camp feature. Newark CCS meet in this case.
Likewise, with the addition of a shepherd hook lamp support, bent appropriately. It's just to heavy for my camping trips, looking for a lightweight solution.
