Dannygooner 445 Report post Posted February 8 Anybody got the new four fold Nash bed? Not even sure if it's out yet. Wonder if this is better to carry when not using a barrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder if this is better to carry when not using a barrow It’s fantastic and in the shops now. The whole idea behind it is so it won’t bang on the back of your legs when carrying it. Obviously, it needs to be lightweight to carry as well. The bait I take on a 12 hour overnighters weighs more than the bed chair! 1 Dannygooner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to strap mine to my rucksack, it can make carrying it a whole lot easier. Rucksack and bedchair on my back, rod holdall strap across my shoulder, holding the handle, tackle box in the other hand. That is the advantage of Bergen strapping, you can attach pretty much anything to it. 1 Dannygooner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I guess if you had one of lightweight ones what 6kg in the great total of stuff. Had some northern specials arrive for chucking at showing fish. and I'm prepared some 500g bags of tiger which should be plenty for overnight sessions where I wanna set traps. Used to carry like 2 -3kg of boilies to help feed off any bream but tigers should hopefully get past them. Edited February 11 by Tree123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dannygooner 445 Report post Posted February 11 Even carrying 50kg on your back won't feel like much if you'd strapped up correctly. You'll never need to carry that much obviously. The weight isn't a issue if the loads spread correctly via straps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clothes go at the bottom, gradually load it to heavy stuff at the top. The bedchair weight is basically spread from top to bottom as it is strapped at top and bottom. The weight was only around 40kilos with all my bait, food, water and cooking stuff. Not like I was yomping far with it... Maybe a mile or so round Ardleigh... 1 Dannygooner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluelabel 494 Report post Posted February 12 Heh.... went out to Ashlyns on Sunday and the two lads I was with both had barrows.... I rolled up pulled my kit out of the car (two rods and brolly, ruckie and food and bait bag with Avid lo-chair on top, and I was on the water before they had loaded the barrows up I was two thirds of the way through setting up when they arrived... Lightweight, mobile, small kit is the way forward chaps👍 (Still blanked me bum off though🤣😛😎) 1 crusian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmoputney 34 Report post Posted February 16 This thread has got me thinking a little still a way off being a lightweight but I have just bought a sonik SK Tek compact chair as a review told me they are rated to 20st, and it folds up small enough to fit in with my net in the unhooking mat/sling so no extra hands required, I'm nearly mobile enough for day sessions as long as it doesn't rain, I haven't got any kind of brolly yet only a Nash titan viper but that's too heavy for a day session Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
