Tarp tastic..but as Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman

Slippery little buggers.......

Just been into the big smoke for a meeting and only to be greeted by a brown package upon returning to my desk

Last week I ordered a new tarp. My old DD 3x3 tarp is good but it's massive and for my week of cycling from London to Wales I wanted something a touch more bijou.

After ripping open the packet like a six year old on Christmas morning I was greeted by a tiny packed stuff sack, much smaller than I had thought. It also has more scope for squishing. The bag it comes in is far too big for it. A bit of squishing and it will be a decent orange sort of size.

So here it is, my new integral SilTarp 1 (£45 from George Fisher Outdoors*)

But my word it's slippery..

I'll add my Alpkit Ti Pin as pegs, some guy lines and have a test and report back.

*It got here quick so thumbs up George Fisher and a great (relatively for a piece of cloth) price

EDC = WTF!!!!

I was searching for a new Leatherman as I've lost mine. Any way I'm going to order a Squirt PS4. They are nice and small and light and will do everything I need to do when out on the bike.

So I searched Youtube for a review and a slow Friday and few click led me to this video.


This guy for his trip to Disneyland takes ...

2 knives Rambo would be proud to own
a hidden knife,
a police baton,
a punching you in the face thing,
a 'tactical' pen
and 2 torches

to go to DisneyLand.......

He must be very scared of Dwarves!!

For more of the same search Youtube for EDC (Every day carry) and prepared to be scared....
