I bought a Lifeventure one on your recommendation JackT (assuming you are the Bike Show Jack and not another one!), and it's been ace. I bought the zip-up cover insulating cover which also helps keep it hot but you could MYO pretty easily.

Mine didn't have any either, just used some I had already.

I tend to keep that sort of stuff "just in case", cut out of old bags/waterproofs etc. Come in handy to add extra compression or stuffage on all sorts of bags. Quite handy to just strap a water proof on to the bars too.

I stuck an elastic cord on mine with a cord lock. Ran it in around the edges then across the middle so its a square with a cross if that makes sense?

Can stuff a jacket or drybag in it, and have used it to hold a D-lock which worked really well coz it kept it out of the way, but to hand.

Sometimes I think that the people who are against "their" hobby getting popular, especially outdoors ones, are worried that people will find out its not that hard and will spoil their Bear Grylls fantasy! :wink: More people doing the activity is generally a good thing, equipment get's chea...

Does this count? Steel frame, the wrong sized wheels, frame bag and drybag? Have used it for a combined Bunkhouse/hotel trip in the Peak, bit of a canal pootle and bivi on top of a barge. No serious off road use though

I was pretty impressed by this homemade saddlebag. Not exactly UL bivi stuff, but nice anyway.

Worth scrolling down to look at the pattern they used too.

Ordered a fuel pod, got to be a try for £15.

I've got both OMM ones, use them mostly for running. Very pleased with them, the laccy strap really cinches them in so they don't bounce around.

The yellow (6l) one is noticeably bigger and has a zipped hip pocket if that makes any difference.

Managed to grab 8l and 13l ones, cheers.

No news from Alpkit yet, is it a bar harness? Fingers crossed it is, as I'm after one

No Spoon for me :( they did give me a £1 voucher to apologise though.

Think I just got an order for the Spoon in, sold out now, cheers.
