That looks brilliant, light, compact, really quick to put up single handed and a reasonable price. I have been toying with getting back into 'rough' touring and this might just persuade me. Last time I used a tent for real I had to loosen my woggle first  :roll:

The only thing I can see is that it doesn't have a double skin, which seems to be de-rigeur these days, don't know what diffence that makes from the old canvas ones that I was used to.

Well spotted  :icon_salut

I always liked Irn Bru however my favourite softie is Mountain Dew, but it has to be the genuine variety, not one of the poor imitations.  I first discovered it when serving with my American friends in the Volcano Club, Wideawake Airfield,  Ascension Island.

Been using a 1940 something issue military sleeping back for a long time (it was dads). had arms like these but bottom was closed like a normal mummy bag.  There was a snap & Zip open area across the waiste so you could take a piss w/out getting out of your bag.   Think you could also unsnap/unzip the bottom off and use the top as an extra coat.

Dad said they come up with those cause they got tired of GI's getting killed in their sleeping bags.  With the arms in the bag they could sleep w/thier rifle ready or in easy reach.  Think it was Swiss issue though?  

Dad sorta had supply contacts others didnt have :wink:  so he ended up w/some unique very practical stuff.

Actually, the absolute best pegs you can get are made from 8mm diameter steel which looks like it's concrete reinforcing steel bar. They are indestructable and will break rocks when you hammer them in. Not light though.

And as for that Selkbag.......are they having a larf? They say in their advert that you should wear it around the house if you get cold. Can you imagine answering your door dressed in one of those?  The Jehovas witnesses would run a mile........good idea that.....how much are they? :roll:

I keep an eye on the Aldi and Lidl specials (twice a week) online.  They do bike stuff two or three times a year.  The clothing is a bit naff - ok for scooter kids but not for serious biking - but their tank bags and waterproof bike covers (around a tenner each) are unbeatable value.  I also use the roll-top afloat (I'm a volunteer rescue coxwain - Grafham water, not RNLI) because it's guarranteed to keep your kit dry.
Title:
Post by: Nick Calne on September 03, 2009, 11:25:18 PM
Good work on the volunteering Bob.  I'm with you on the aldi / lidl thing too, just occasionally they have a pile of bike stuff for bugger all money.  It is usually German stuff, so deeply unlovely, but functional.  I've even seen intercoms and suchlike in there.  (I love shopping there, it is crap but somehow brilliant. Got a 210Nm torque wrench for £10! which is useful on some bits of the tiger)

One other water proof option is the BDH container.  Don't know if you seen them before.  Popular with canoeists so proper water proof.  They have inverted ridges that make bungying fairly easy - instant, if small top box!

tadaaaaa... you quickly discovered why the pro's do NOT recommend air mattress.  

You wouldn't know that unless you happen to have come across something discussing that topic.  It's not like there are warnings on product.

Anyway from what I've read those that use them add a second layer on top of the air mattress.  Usually a second ground camper mattress, but the type made of foam.  It's purpose is to insulate temp of the air mattress from you.  

I've wondered about using a space blanket (shiny Mylar) on top of the air mattress to reflect your body heat back.  Something tells me that they might just balance each other out.  Cool air from the mattress and warm reflection from the mylar..... Might work???
Title:
Post by: Sin_Tiger on September 12, 2009, 04:51:34 PM
Looks like you have enough kit there for a solo attempt on K2 rather than just Loch Rannoch  :shock:   Slumit looks pretty good in real user shot though, any rain or wind?

Never knew that about air matresses though, I thought it was a weight issue. Errrm you do have a very good insulation mat sitting on your saddle  :wink:

You will get the designation of official camping Testee if you're not careful. Tent, sheepskin, strange avatar, in the Brownies vid, it's all coming together  :lol:

I use a small backpacker style stove similar to the one in EB's first link, you'll find it in any outdoor / camping store.... maybe even Halfords!!
They should also have a small kettle that you can use with it. I actually put this stove head, in an old sock, inside the kettle when I travel...
Some of these units can have issues as altitude varies... but hey you're in  Scotland. And if you can't find one of these things locally all I can say is...
Damn it, you're in bloody Scotland man....

Strangely I picked up the latest copy of "Bike" after your last post, bit slow getting the mags here. Wud ye credit it, it was a camping issue  :lol: , decent review as usual with Bike but a bit limited range of stuff, there were only three stoves listed and I think the Coleman was one of them. That's a pretty decent price.

In my 36yr military career I've done a fair bit of roughing it, and have always found one of these, plus a novice (add a dark night and some wind for extra effect) highly entertaining.  After you've done laughing, it's worth having an extinguisher ready :shock:

It's amazing the number of ways an idiot can find to set fire to themselves...  and on a similar theme, you know how easy a sleeping bag zip jams when you're in a hurry?  Well, imagine a faulty gas stove suddenly exploding (did you know that the seam of the concave base is designed to blow out and off, thus releasing the pressure without producing shrapnel?) turning the aluminium billy can full of boiling water inside out and throwing the boiling water onto a soul in a sleeping bag.  There was no real danger as the bag had a waterproof outer and absorbent inner, but watching the panicking occupant trying to release himself before the heat got through is one of the funniest things I've ever seen - ever!

Search PETT products for these so called absorbing crystals.  They also break down fecal matter.  Break it down so well the end product is safe enough to dispose in regular trash can.  No hazard Chemical or sewer disposal neccissary.  

They too have portable toilets.  In the past none fitting for a bike but have not been to their site in a long time so they may now.  

PETT chemical is the best on the market.  Did TONS AND TONS of research on this for a 4x4 e-magazine.  Even sold the stuff myself for awhile.

I would love to find an actual 1man teepee style tent that is practical to carry on the bike. I have found some but they all end up being a bit big. I just want the shape not the size

:hello2  for the Camp Guru with a latex fetish.

Have you tried using this stuff? It's cheap enough but I thought, how much space or weight does it actually save compared to a decent "stacking" set that you can stick on top of a fire, not convinced, and that's coming from a gadget man!
