Re: Aeroe Fat Spider?
Yep I have one on my Bat Fastard I'ts brilliant and very well built, you don't notice it when it's not loaded, but because you need a torque wrench to get the straps at the right tension I CBA's taking it off and putting it back on again, so it lives on the bike full time now.

Re: A full size ultralight packraft
It'll look fine once you are on the watter. Plus there is something to be said for having a raft that is fairly visible... Good value for the weight - I was heading for an MRS raft before John sold me his! Alpacka is the one that every packraft company looks to as the number 1 in quality MRS are nu...

Re: Long live the Mukluk
My first fat bike was the Mk1 Mukluk, I had the first one in the UK.
I never wanted a steel fat bike so when they announced the Aluminium Mukluk I imported one when times were easier to do such things
A great bike

Re: Kayak Oar/Long Pole Carrying on a bike
I've tried my Greenland paddle along the top tube, but as its made from Cedar it was denting when strapped in place.
I think it needs packing and protecting before I try it again

Re: Iceland Divide 2024: need advice on tent, sleeping mat and stove
Iceland is a fantastic country but very fickle with its weather.
Expect, plan and train for riding into an all day head wind full of rain and hail.
And if you get a good weather window it will be a bonus

Another vote for outdry, they are amazing
Or Gore shakedry
Both don't have any DWR and they are perfect for the UK, if you get wet, undo the zip a bit to vent it
