    Nice Pot there Rick, but I've no idea what a BENTO Box is when it's at home? I've not long ago purchased a Helikon Tex Pot, comes in 3 parts and what I like about them is that I can use it to carry fresh foods, keeping the vermin out. I adore Dry Stone Walls wherever I find them and am sorry that so many have been replaced with steel wired fences. I did a quick Google search on your camp location and thought this to be interesting - best be careful where you dig your Cat Hole. ''Considerable areas of the Bowland fells were used for military training during World War II and there are still unexploded bombs in some areas, including nearby Wolf Fell''. 👀🤷‍♂😉

      I've been up there the last two days training D of E groups . I'll tell them about that next time . Lots of work going on up there to reintroduce blanket bog to the upland areas.
      Cheers Robert mate, I'm the same with you about the dry stone walls, absolutely amazing structures. Lots of great examples in that area and Yorkshire .
      You have a top week Robert, always a pleasure mate.

      Yeh I like it fir the money and what I use it for. I have a dutch army one too which is a bit thicker but packs a lot larger n heavier so I nearly always end up using the Hunka XL. Definitely go for the XL 👍. Still packs down really small. Small enough to stuff in a coat pocket 🙂

      I've got a Swedish army one which is bomber with a front zip but a lot bulkier n heavier hence I always opt for the Hunka 🙂👍
