Darren says that a lot of planning has gone into this build and before spending any money you need to ensure that you are going to use the gear. Every extra kg you add will cost you every time at the bowser.
He goes on to say that there is no better feeling of pulling up for the night, unrolling your swag and enjoying some quiet contemplation around a fire with family and friends.
