Ta Syncrobaz, good to know.

Aiden: thanks, that might be a life-saver. I've been in touch with Brickwerks and will let Jack's and Cogbox know. Don't tell me how you knew I needed the C and P, I'd like to believe you are psychic!

Can't help any with the mechanics but it looks like there's plenty of expertise in that department already. But I do know cold - spent time in Northern Labrador working with indigenous communities and often camped out in temperatures of -40C, so I feel I can offer some advice on the sleeping bag. Do...
