got me a new shelter

well, ive ordered my new shelter. Chub s plus bivvy. the front comes off so you can use it as a day shelter if you want. 2 rib design, quick and simple ........like me !!

was thinking bout the jrc sti brolly 2 rib, but this seems better and it was only £ 105 delivered, should be here in few days !! superb

anyone else got one ??

I use the chub s plus shelter same as yours but no front been a good piece of kit plus i use it in summer for overnighters verry stable shelters cant fault it at all think i only paid £50 for mine in a sale at ericsangling bargain for use its had

phew............glad to hear its not a bad one Craig. its a bit of a mine field out there. ive been looking at all the different shelters / bivvys for months and that one pretty much seems to tick my boxes.

superb !!

Yeah I got a chub s aswell with the over wrap it's not a bad. It's survived a few weather batterings. Wasn't enough pegs with it tho had to get somemore. Removable ground sheet is handy to give it a hosedown.

Just looked it's a bivvy s plus. That must be the gti model lol

i nearly bought the s plus max which i think is the new model with the pram hood, but to be honest, i cant be fannying about with extra poles etc so the s plus looks perfect for me. GTI model, maybe. hope its got go faster stripes down the side !!

Nice one dougy m8 av just orderd the fox oval system 60" after many days of reveiwing lol dont know if anyone else has one so we@ll just have to wait and see whether its the right choice , went on the fact thats its light weight and can fit in a quiver-takes 3mins to put up - i hope

i reckon the fox oval will be a smidge quicker than my bivvy Leebob, but not a lot judging by the video i saw of the guy erecting it. probably 3 mins total.

i actually bought a wychwood oval off ebay a week ago, but after getting it i didnt really like it too much. it will be handy i feel, but reckon ive made the right choice with the chub s plus bivvy...........lets hope so hey !!

let us know what the fox is like.

Ive got the nash 60'' oval, looks identical to the fox one had it years no probs

Well lads, the bivvy turned up today. Chub s plus bivvy.

What a piece of kit this is for the money. Paid £ 105 delivered. Put it up in the Lounge as it was persistantly raining and very windy. Went up in less than 2 mins. superb. good quality as well. dont know how they sell it for that sort of money.

Before you lads buy a new shelter, i urge you to take a look at the Chub s plus bivvy. The front zips off so you can use as a day shelter if required. SUPERB !!!

ive timed it lads i can get a irection in 30 seconds anyone beat that......

My new Chub s plus Bivvy. Superb bit of kit.

Before anyone says anything about my chair, its my light weight one i use when walking a distance. I do however have a Fox Recliner chair.

That looks just the job and very roomy, Even the chair is better than mine haha

It is pretty big inside P.P. Loads of room for your gear.

I set it up Properly today at home and timed how long to set up. From opening the bag to pegged in and groundsheet in place, 4 1/2 mins !! Superb.

Thats pretty quick to say the least, But i have this image in my head of you dashing about to put it together and Bruce Forsyth stood to one side with a stop watch shouting "good game good game" hahaha And i think Naaa its probably nothing like that haha

Looks spot on that mate

The Benny hill theme is more like it !

Seriously, it just takes the 4 1/2 mins total. If you knew me PP, you would know that i dont rush !

Yep, its a good bit of kit Adie.

Hahaha the Benny hill theme was funny haha
