Warning: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
January 10th, 2009
Just a quick word of warning to those of you who plan to get out over the colder months for a couple of nights fishing, we all know how tempting it is to close the bivvy door right down and stick the kettle on, cook some food or fire the lantern up for a bit of extra warmth but please try to avoid doing so without adequate ventilation as the gases given off by these bits of equipment are actually very harmful. The gases given off, especially Carbon Monoxide, are colourless and odourless so you wont even notice them building up in your bivvy during the periods your door is closed but there are some serious health risks involved, it can also prove fatal if prolonged exposure to such gases occurs. So please be careful when using your cooker or lantern in your bivvy and make sure there is adequate ventilation to let any noxious gases escape.
