If you're wanting a lid for your 450ml mug, sneak into the kitchen and steal the lid off the gravy granules (you might be safer waiting until they're all used first). It's a good fit (not too snug or too lose) and weighs about 7g

[Taylor]

But you can only use it until just after Christmas.

Beef or chicken?

Beef or chicken?

I don't think it matters really. The lid in the pic is chicken if that helps

[Anthony]

How does it cope with heat?

How does it cope with heat?

Seems okay. It goes slightly bendy with the steam but still retains it's shape. Obviously I wouldn't want to put it near a flame

[Ben98]

Would it fit a jetboil zip????
Ive got one on the way (Trail subscription) and i was just wondering :D
Obviously it wouldnt fit my trangia mini

[Bearbonesnorm]

Would it fit a jetboil zip????

I imagine it'd be much too small. Doesn't the JetBoil come with a lid, I thought it did ?

Yeh, i was just wondering if this could be a lighter alternative

I've got to admire your optimism ... but you do know it's not you we'll be weighing ?

Oh yes! But after weighing my rather heavy weight kit for this weekends cold bike packing trip to the dales (2 nights) it came in (bike included) to a mere 32lb, 1 lb less than last years winner I believe ;-)


Edit: excuse the minor thread hijack, I think the tip in question is very clever

Ben, I'd be interested to know what your kit list is?

[Anthony]

You can't win the weigh in with a jetboil.

Stuart won't let you for a start :D

[Taylor]

I think you'll find, I'll be in charge of the weigh in.

Bribes gratefully accepted.

Im gonna guess a fat bike with big helium filled tyres
Would probably float over water too

I will do a kit list after the event, but for now I suspect the main factor is my bike weighs so little compared to most MTB's :-D
