Re: 99p P&P. Joe's shop for bikepacking gear
The Borah Gear bivi thread peeked my interest and I missed out on Chews used one but lucky for me and Joe someone directed me to The Shop.... so I just ordered a Tyvek bivi at a very reasonable price.
I thought that was worth bumping this thread back onto the first page for a bit more exposure.

Thank you
Your order just came through. He has his phone set up to go kerching every time he gets a new order.
He will get that on its way to you in the morning.
Cheers again

Bridget... pls may I ask. Does the Tivek need silicon adding like we do to the Borahs... to stop slipping and sliding away in the middle of the night.
He might just get another Kerching. Hope he's happy with me buying off the shop with all my customer relation problems of recent

Re: 99p P&P. Joe's shop for bikepacking gear
Normal Tyvek (house wrap) is as slippery as an eel dipped in butter. This can be mitigated some by washing it in a machine.
The stuff this is made from - no idea.
My plan is to use the bivi without a ground cloth so, slippy or not, it shouldn’t really matter.

Re: 99p P&P. Joe's shop for bikepacking gear
I don't find them particularly slippy. I haven't tried sleeping in one on a slope right enough, but then I do tend to try to avoid that. He is happy to accept a return if you weren't happy with it, as long as you just unrolled it inside or on a clean tarp or something.redefined_cycles wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 12:03 amBridget... pls may I ask.

Re: 99p P&P. Joe's shop for bikepacking gear
I’ve just been handed the package containing my bivi from Joe.
Very professional service all round with order tracking and a reasonable delivery time.
Thanks guys.
The bivi itself feels nice and light. It’s packed down to the size of a tall-boy can. It’s not very compressible, so it may end up packed folded and rolled. It’s crinkles a bit but not too much and it’s very white
All things being equal it’ll get used in anger mid May on my Dartmoor Spring Thing.
I’ll report my findings after that.

Always makes me smile and adds to the personalised service my little 12g bottle came through (for pills... obviously )

Yes, sorry. Nice touch indeed.
Should get my kids to do that with the eggs and honey and what-not they sell at the back door.

Re: 99p P&P. Joe's shop for bikepacking gear
Thanks guys - good to hear back from you. The book is coming by separate post btw Shaf.
Have fun with the bivvy bag Luneranger. I think I might take mine out on Monday night with one of Joe's tarp tents for a quick overnighter once that's allowed again. I carry my bivvy bag with me all the time now when I take the bike out. It's nice to sit on for a lunch stop and just good to carry in case I fell off or something and needed to keep warm and dry for a bit.

Re: 99p P&P. Joe's shop for bikepacking gear
Thanks for that Dan. Glad you like the stove. He wasn't sure if people would like them as that one took a while to sell, but he has ordered a few more now.

Another Kerching for Joe.
I didn't need a new tarp*, but ordered the Aricxi shaped tarp as there was only 2 left and to make up the order on couple of the small stuff sacks that I ordered.
* You can never have enough tarps can you?
I was strong and resisted the Tyvek bivi bag.... and didn't order that one

A similar Tyvek sleeping bag liner (as they market it) on ULOG is about £125 in 160g equivalent...JohnClimber wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 12:52 pmAnother Kerching for Joe.

I read that as 'kerch-ing'
Kerching: - A questionable activity done by deviant tourists in the Crimean peninsula.
derived from metropolis, Kerch.
Ka - ching: :- , thd sound made by cash
register,
also the sound when selling tourist trinkets, tat & other pleasures.

Just to say that we are heading off on our bikes at the end of the week, so if you want anything for use in the next month you should order it today or tomorrow (Weds 19th). Joe was going to get a friend to take over the shop while he is away but they are all going away too so he is going to have to close down for a wee while.

Just to say the titanium mug I bought is fantastic and fits perfectly in my frame bag.

It's only just occurred to me to promote Joe's shop my club Facebook page, where there's been quite a bit of chat about buying kit to try bikepacking for the first time - sorry, I don't know why I didn't think of it before Not the best time with you being away though - remind me when you get back!Borderer wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 3:10 pm Just to say that we are heading off on our bikes at the end of the week, so if you want anything for use in the next month you should order it today or tomorrow (Weds 19th).
