The new Bear Bones carbon tooth brush is a staggering 48% lighter than your regular Colgate yet no less effective ... notice the angled head for those hard to reach big chompers at the back.
Sweary Dave will be putting it through its paces each morning somewhere in America shortly but I'm expecting a TD rule change next year expressly banning their use.

. Love the double-usage as a very short tarp pole for those ultra-windy low-profile days.

Possibly could be used after 1 too many omlette sandwiches for "working things out" if you get my drift. Not sure I'd be too keen on using it as a toothbrush afterwards

Thats nothing new, I've been using carbon brushes for years. Got them out of an old drill. They're not very good at cleaning my teeth though :(

That handle is too long. There's easily another couple of grammes to be saved there.

Can we have a "pic'n'mix" version consisting of 4 x 1" sections for totes flexibility please?
Plus a range of modular ends for different uses... fork, spoon, carbon tip as additional tent peg, wooden tip for vampires. You will sells millions of these...

And I'll upgrade to the full carbon version when you bring it out....

Ha ha, just seen this.
I wonder how much you could drill out of the original handle to save weight
