This is one of my favorite wallets. It's nice and compact and keeps my cards and cash secure. I use an RFID card that i got from a previous wallet and use it at the top of my stack to take the scratches instead of my bank cards. Very cool looking wallet for sure. Definitely recommend 👍

I live in the UK where it rains 12 months of the year, but never felt the need to cook in the rain....I mean, yes I have cooked or brewed up while it's raining, but always found a way of getting some shelter...Now here's the spooky coincidence...I have an American Cocker Spaniel and he took likes standing about in the rain and needs to be brought in before he drowns sometimes... Still, I love the use of the pelican case...complete overkill, but very classy indeed!

I don't ever post comments on KZfaq but I'm here with a similar situation; converting my Astro for a year now and starting to design the bed, but I have a large rear AC unit that takes up the whole back corner and is like 17-18" tall, so although I love this design, I don't know how to work around it!

Hay buddy, this tent peaks my interest, but coming from the UK with alot of rain during winter and spring would you recommend it for here in England or just for here during the less heavy showers summer months..

I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains 8 months out of the year pretty heavily. I would say it depends on your style. Are you doing long form multi-day backpacking trips? My only concern with the tent is using it consecutively wet days where you would be putting away a wet tent day after day. If I’m doing longer trips I prefer dyneema tents where I can wipe down the tent before putting it away. Other than that it holds up against rain like most double wall tents.

ref the water purify tablets. have kept them in my gear. my experience with them is to have the tablets expire before every being used. so they are no longer carried for that reason, do have a sawyer filter instead. if i need to chemically treat water a couple drops of bleach will do the job.

Honestly, I don’t think this mug is intended to throw in your rucksack if it contains a hot drink - I’m sure the nice people at GSI would agree. Buy a screw top mug if that’s what you want. I absolutely love this mug. Make a hot drink in it, put it aside as you break camp BUT leave the sipper open a tiny bit to allow for any build up of steam to escape. By the time your rucksack is packed, you’ve got a nice mug of hot coffee ready to send you on your way. Otherwise, it seems you love the mug as much as I do.

I really love this idea! I am seriously considering it, so am really dissecting the instructions. When you drill the hole in the Nalgene bottle, you mention using a 1 inch hole saw bit, but at 5:10, you mention 1.5 inches. I looked at the dimensions of the spigot, and it looks like that area would be 1.57 inches, so I believe the drill bit is supposed to be 1.5 inches rather than 1 inch. Can you please confirm?

The only part that I wouldn't spend the money on would be the dyeema bag. Since the cup comes with a bag, I use that. To me it's not work 20 bucks plus shipping to save 9 grams. Everything else is spot on and I use the exact same equipment. My own set also includes a tiny vial of soap and a very small sponge/scrubber.
@UltralightNerd
@UltralightNerd 6 ай бұрын
For me the dyneema bag isn’t just about weight savings, but it’s a non-porous material that doesn’t soak up water or hold onto dust. For me this is totally worth it as I’ve had experience with the Toaks bag collecting a ton of dust in high alpine desert areas.
