Carpy Xmas gifrts

Anyone get anything nice and carpy for christmas? I had a copy of the awesome gaz fareham book 'The Forgotten Chapters' and a dvd. Oh and a camo snood, theyre 'en vogue' you know ;-)

Amazingly i thnk this is the first year ever that i have not had a single thing to do with fishing

Had £135 in cash, so will be making a few purchases at some point. Don't know what, yet, though !!

I splashed out and got some tiger line but thats it

hey boys happy xmas n all that thinkin bout gettin a new bedchair anyone got ne ideas on the lightest as im sure you all understand how important that is on the res any help or advice wud be great cheers

I got some money to spend in the corn stores! Gonna stock up on bits etc. Doubt I'll be making any major purchases this coming year. Am definitely in need of some of some post-neolithic bite alarms though so we'll see how it goes!

I hear the new Chub bedchair is very good and pretty lightweight. Depends on your budget really.

Personally, I'd always go for the Nash Indulgence. Not light, but incredibly comfy once you've lugged it to the swim.

Im still on my 1st Bedchair....Had it since 1996!...Two years before my alarms were made. JRC Super Cocoon! They just dont make em like that anymore!

cheers keith,
do you no much about the vision range? i no that jim shellys involved and they do 1 which is only 6kg but im unsure of the quality? i never thought finding a suitable bedchair would be so tough

Without wishing to sound like a snob, I think the vision stuff is "entry level". Buy cheap - buy twice.

I've had a Trakker, which was great. I now have the Nash Indulgence 4 leg, and it's superb. You can pick a new one up for about £160 if you look around, and a second hand one for £100 ish. Had mine two years now, and it's still like new.

cheers mate,it was just the weight that caught my eye, ill have a look

Not sure if you can still get them but ive got a JRC Stalker which is light enough to lug round the res and reasonable comfy. Ill sleep on anything after a couple of cans though

lol yeah me too, im lookin at the jrc x-lite its only 6.5kgs but ill have a look at that one cheers.

Steve

It's possible I could get you a Nash Indulgence Extra Strength Wideboy for £135 - second hand. This retails at £260 new and is the Rolls Royce of bedchairs. However, it is BIG, and you would need to consider your bivvy and sleeping bag dimensions.

I quite fancy it myself to be honest, but would have to buy a Nash sleeping bag, which I don't want to do.

Cheers

Keith is that the one Barry Austin uses ,i saw abit of a write up about it in Angling times

keith

cheers mate but its all about weight for me this year, gettin my lazy ass round that res is hard enough without a big bedchair maybe next year i can sleep in peace or hopefully not

No probs. Why don't you just "do a Jim", save money, and buy yourself a good camping mat?

Ive had an angling intelligence bed for the last four years and can honestly say its the best bed ive had

alright fella ive got a diawa infinity its light and well nice to sleep on and only around 80 to 90 quid brand new have a look at these aswell..

Simon

cheers fellas,
im still lookin but i think its going to be the x-lite it just ticks all the right boxes for me, but thanks for all the help and advice
