Nice gear Publius. I must get at least one of those Dutch ovens to put away at home.
I really wouldn't mind having a go at making a custom version of that lovely Montgomery Ward Fly!
But with a stack of three spaced fly's, and a 4th camo net on top. Cross poles to support and reinforce the two inner flys, ropes for the top fly and camo net.
I think that thing would then be night vision proof from overhead.
My own camping setup is quite different, as it is based on motorcycle touring. My favourite tent is the Vango Zetes 300 (3 birth, great for 2, luxury for 1), weight 4.5kg, and it has had such a hammering since I had it (week after week after week of atrocious weather on several trips, without ever letting a drop in), I was going to get another, but found Vango have stopped making them. Vango make stuff to the specification for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, and it is first class.
Anyway I grabbed an out of season sale offer on a Coleman Cobra 3 instead, and had a real bargain.
Inside the tents I use waterproof picnic mats (cheap) that have a 'carpet' effect on the side that faces up - good insulation - along with a Vango self inflating insulation mat. If out of season, on those I put a Vango 4 season bag, if late spring to late summer, I now use a nice roomy Gelert Beyond Sleeping Pod.
If it's a long trip I use my Kelly Kettle for cooking and hot drinks, and for short trips (weekends to 7 - 10 days) a tough little Vango collapsible gas stove, which I have a conversion adapter for so it will use cheap resealable butane cartridges as well as standard butane/propane mix (the resealable butane cartridges are dirt cheap if I buy 24 at a time - 3 cartridges will last me a fortnight easy, plus, I can even refill them with cheap ish cigarette lighter gas if necessary). The Kelly has its cooking set, for the gas stove I have a lightweight set with a useful little kettle.
Most of my cooking when on a trip is really done in vacuum flasks though (which works like a slow cooker, and I can have hot food any time of the day or night should I need it).
