    Hi all,

    Did anyone else watch this last night?

    I thought that single man tent that he used that had all the mesh/mattress/sleeping bag in it was absolutely brilliant, but I can't remember for the life of me what he called it.

    Can anyone help out?

    TIA

    It's not a bivvy bag, I've got one of them. This thing was completely different to anything I'd seen before, looked bitchin'

    EDIT: Looks like it is back on tonight on BBC2 at 7, gonna give it another wirl and see what it's called.

    Was that the whole thing? sounded like hee was reffering to something else at the time. I'll watch it again tonight to check. Either way, it looked freaking awesome!

    Edit: Take it all back, you're exactly right, seems to be the aussie name for it, I wonder if they have them elseware?

    If I ever find myself out of phone signal I am glad that I know how to make a tent from a cows skin and ribcage then turn it over and sail downstream to the nearest post office to call for a taxi.

    or you could just push a few cows into a pile and shelter under them, then push one into a river climb onto it and hope it can swim well?
