Excellent!

Thanks Wilbo.

From hoody offcuts.

Easily the best quality 'solid' fleece I've used. Sewing the thumbs in takes a fair bit of work, but I like the clean look it gives especially on light colours like this.

These will be in Iceland about now then on tour through Europe

30 grams the pair.

Zitat von nach 3 tagen wieder da

Neben- Abspannstelle für Lüftung am Eingang, also für nicht starke Belastung hält nen fertiger dcf-Abspannpunkt auf silpoly bzw womit kleben?

Ich befürchte nicht.
Ein reine Klebeverbindung mit Elastosil-E43 wird wahrscheinlich auch nicht halten. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass ich nicht weiß, ob beim Liteway-Silpoly, PU mit beigemischt wurde. (Was die Klebung sabotieren würde).

Zu dem bin ich kein Fan dieses Stoffes. Ich habe insgesamt drei Liteway Mids gehabt und bei allen haben sich in kürzester Zeit schon leichte Verschleißerscheinungen gezeigt. Die Abriebfestigkeit ist wirklich unterirdisch.
Daher würde ich auf keinen Fall da mit irgendwelchen Klammern rangehen. (Es sei denn, Du willst uns einen soliden Stofftest liefern.)
Wenn Lifter, dann würde ich die Großflächig vernähen und zusätzlich einen zweiten, kleineren in der Mitte platzieren. Im Prinzip, so wie ich das bei meinen DCF-Tarps mache.

Neat job Wilbo!

Remembering I'm reading via (possibly a very dodgy) translation, can I ask a question please:

You're saying-glue (or is it taped ?) the smaller hexagonal patch on first...then secondly (sewing through two layers of DCF... actually three including the 'reinforcing' tape underneath) sew the lifter webbing on?

Can I also ask, was there a reason for sewing over what appears to be a join-or is that a reinforcing tape?

Thanks W

Tea and coffee stop.

One degree.

Nitecore APO1 includes an excellent adapter for old Thermarests.

29gms with adapter.

Chai time Monday

This morning. Six degrees.

Coffee break at half-way on a 8km trail run.

Very surprised at how well it works for something so slight.

A Cuppa Coat.

5 grams.

Cup plus coat 50 grams.

Evernew 400 mls cup

2 mm CCF.

Will cover the hot water I use for a cuppa which is about 250mls but is clear of my lips for drinking.

☕😋

Not so new material any more, but new to me.

Challenge Ultra Grid body with Venom Grid shoulder straps.

A mix of Challenge stretch Mesh and Venom Stretch Max Eco.

Three distinct changes to the last one.

Bigger shoulder pockets.

Reduced the big opening of the bottom pocket by about 40 percent.

Widest and deepest yet. Same vertical height/length.

Increased volume by about 10-15%

First picture is the truest colour, that I like very much

Maybe 34 litres or so.

340 grams.

I would say it's not comparable.

I would get the slightly heavier weight in that mesh if it were me and it was for use on a Ruckie.

They have a good one at about 160 gm/msq from memory?

You use so little it will add only 5-6 grams overall and will be far more robust.

Cheers

mochilero weißt du, ob Pertex Quantum Air mückendurchstichdicht ist?

I've not been bit ten through it.

However.... I keep it loose-not pressed against the skin, to make sure. I would not trust it in a place where disease is present.

Pressed against the skin (I own a wind hoody in it I often wear right on my skin) I won't trust it if you really don't want to be bit ten.

As an example, just recently I was bit ten through a layer of Alpha 120, a layer of 10D and my running shirt where the shoulders stretched tight.

Because these fabrics all have a high MVTR, the effen' mozzies can still smell the CO2 and the Lactic Acid.

☕😋

Thanks schrenz

Is anyone using an electrical inflator with the old valve style Neoairs?

It seems many/all of the new mat inflators only work on the winglocks?

I'm looking at buying the Nitecore AP01 and it looks like I'll have to create an adapter.

Thanks

Benutzt jemand einen elektrischen Gasgenerator mit dem alten Ventilstil Neoairs?

Es scheint, dass viele/alle neuen Mattenaufblasgeräte nur an den Winglocks funktionieren?

Ich überlege, mir den Nitecore AP01 zu kaufen, und es sieht so aus, als müsste ich einen Adapter erstellen.

Danke

Instant coffee pic Monday

Delicious😋

I agree on Frappe-especially in warm weather as you're already carrying the ingredients, if like me you're an instant coffee and milk powder user.

The generic brand 'Moka' pot in the background below is my travelling pot that I sometimes carry. Inside my plane 'carry-on' luggage not an issue.

One cup (makes plenty-about 50 mls of coffee) and it uses lighter aluminium than the Bialletis.

The flavour of the coffee is identical-I own a Bialetti of the same volume and .... 130 gms.

However once you start to carry ground coffee for it, the bulk and weight cancel out the need for it.

ps... the Date scone by the way weighed about 200 grams. and was delicious.

Wonder bear that previous sweet was a protein and candied fruit slice.

This one, this morning, is a raw chocolate and cashew slice. Both with a macchiato.🐊

This morning on a run.

First a cup of tea then

a wee drop of coffee

Some early morning flora along the way

Like Estella, any nice, dark roasted instant freeze dried coffee and milk powder for me.

Easiest, tasty. Zero waste / most compact / easily the lightest.

Then such as yesterday, an occasional stop...
