Re: Poggies for kids

Tony - hiker review (he's 6'6") and shows both pitching and him fitting in it (skip to about 18 mins if you want to avoid all the usual 'unboxing' type stuff).
IF you don't go for it (assuming you already have :-)) I might be interested too....

We're clearly kicking arse. :wink: Edit- Though my fitness is barely holding on due to the calorie deficit. But obviously we're at slightly different ...

Nice instructions John - is the second weight above similar to a recently bought full one? Do you have/need a comparison target weight to be on the safe side?

I have this issue with some part filled ones that I'm a bit reluctant to take on a weekend away so will give this a go. Thanks.

Possible if you really wanted to but as Colin says the time commitment and increased injury possibilities are a big factor.
