Re: Wide opening bivi bags
Closest so far, although I’ve not managed to get to alpkit to see if they’ll modify. I asked this a few years ago and they said no as too busy. I do however have a largish piece of red Hunka material that they sold me. I was going to get an outdoor equipment repairer to cut up the Hunka and put a z...

Re: Wide opening bivi bags
If you want a new event one with a long zip, then I *think* the Mld Soul is the only game in town. My family got me one for Christmas and after a couple of bivy a month uses so far, I'm liking it.... Especially the very long zip. I'm less keen on the fairly small mesh window, but it gets the job do...

I have thought about that, next time I'm passing.Bearlegged wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 2:48 pm I wonder if Alpkit might fit a zip to one of their Hunka bags via their repair station or custom bag making folks?
I've got an XL that could be the donor.

Re: Wide opening bivi bags
More waterproof than the usual Borah lightweight bags is more preferable as it might not be used with a tarp. Carinthia do one but its 300 euro's and the zip doesn't go down as far as I'd like. Mil-tec do pretty much what it wan't but it's bloody heavy, 1.3kg Must be muted colours too as I'm not a h...

Wide opening bivi bags
I’ve got 3 bivi bags but I can’t stand the top entry, does my head in and was wondering if anybody’s found a large size bag with a side zip that goes from shoulder to knee?

Re: Hammock & Tarp
I don't find it any lighter with any of my combo's of hammock/tarp Vs ground dwelling. Sadly most of the weirdos that I bikepack with are all for the floor so I don't get to use my hammock much in the BB events. When I have, it's been brilliant due to the comfort factor and finding a stand of trees ...

3.3kg in under two weeks.
Driving between jobs I keep seeing bakery's and such like but I've managed to avoid them, that's probably my biggest weekness(and wine).
Hopefully I'll keep this up.

Reckon I could've dropped a full 2 kilos if it wasn't for Pleasant Valley Sunday, champagne, wine, cheese, chorizo and chocolate but happy with week one.

Re: Fat Fighters '22 - (The year of victory edition!)
Is under 80kg achievable in 12 month or is that too big an ask without a massive shift in lifestyle? Yeah, 15kg in a year is perfectly reasonable, that said, it depends on your definition of "massive shift in lifestyle". To lose a quarter of a kg a week (you'll likely lose more at the sta...

How does this work? I'm 94.9kg on 3/1/22 It works just like that. Each week (or whenever) you post your updated weight and if you fancy posting your target weight then I can plot your progress along with others. And from there we just chat about all things health/fitness/density etc... I want to lo...

Re: Ordering from the EU - thoughts?
£32 I have to give parcel farce for my mat.
Mat was £162 Inc postage so works out I'm still up as I'm seeing them for around £215 in the UK, just not as much saving as I'd hoped.
Since Brexit, this is the first time I've been charged for stuff from the EU.

Re: Ordering from the EU - thoughts?
Perhaps it goes without saying, but any tubes on here who voted for Brexshit, presume your realise the stupidity of your actions now ... There's a lot of tubes that vote for Scotland to leave the UK which is essentially the same thing. This isn't the right forum for an argument on politics though.
