Re: The post man's been ...
Took a punt on one of these Crikey, how much vest when it was half-price.
http://www.Crikey, how much.cc/gb/en/shop/pro-team ... ct/PBS01SS
To be honest, since it arrived I haven't known what to do with it! Can't imagine it will keep me warmer or cooler. Suppose I could always wear it the next time Rocky Horror is on...

Fancy that, the swear filter even works inside URL's...
Anyway... a medium sized box from Germany today containing a flat mount to post mount adapter. Yet another disc adapter "standard", yay
Couldn't get one for love nor money over here...
But it means I have managed to fit the Lauf to the Stooshie tonight, yay

Ben, I think those pole ends might be these things.

Re: The post man's been ...
Good stuff, thanks Tim. They look ideal, both for the bottom and top of the poles!

My Stu-recommended emergency wine-carrier backpack has arrived. 63g. Amazing. And doubles up as a bivi bag for your pet dog (only chihuahuas need apply).

Re: The post man's been ...
The "get the bastard cooking by the trail" conspiracy increased in tempo today...with the arrival of stove, stand, snowpeak 450 cup and bag. Stove weighs in at a hefty 11g. (scroll for exploded view). Non-bikepacking stuff arrived too...including a Boss DS-1 LE 40th anniversary distortion pedal...it's been a long, long time between stomps.

Looks good Ton, had my eye on an ogre for a while but it's too similar to my current bike

Ready for the Summer... Chain reaction box when I got home. TLD summer short sleeved jersey and an Endura Pakajak.
Goes nicely with the Westcountry Way guide.

Re: The post man's been ...
Just popped in at Alpkit on way elsewhere.... thanks for the tea Connie... ordered a custom Koala, different strap config and additional stiffeners... helpfulness 10/10... but I've got my tenses mixed up (Dr Dan Streetmentioner will have been going to be proud of me)...

Re: The post man's been ...
I've got the Minim - recommended by Stu a couple of years ago. It's a good bag, I'm a warm sleeper so it does me a bit below the given rating. I've also got a SOL bivy bag, I'm 5'11" and can just about get complete coverage but if it's for an MM then I suppose it's really emergency kit and not a go to bivy bag.GregMay wrote:PHD Minim 200 no-zip - no extras race bag.
