Currently pitched in the living room thanks to it's freestanding nature!

It's a good tent, I just went out with mine with the fly only (+ footprint) for the first time over the weekend, halves the weight of it. Worked really well, apart from two little fabric loops on the inside that nucleated condensation into drips! A bit disappointed with that but overall really nice tent.

I worked in ID fraud for years. Anyone wanting my address knows how to get it in about 5 seconds. It's something you should assume that nefarious individuals know. Although I have now got a club under my bed ready for the burglars who will be targeting my flask.

I'm so glad someone bought that, it kept catching my eye and is too similar to the frame I have now!

Montane Batpack 6 arrived courtesy of my nice neighbour - It came under immediate scrutiny my significant other half (oh... another parcel! complete with a sarcastic tone)

The plan is to ditch the rucksack and try and get the weight more off my shoulders, and carry a bit less this year

So I can confirm that the other half has stolen my new sleeping bag and is sitting wrapped in a bundle of down cosiness looking quite pleased with herself :lol:

So this morning the postman brought me a second alpkit bag for myself, and hope to put them to the test very soon!

My new Wildcatgear multicam Leapard framebag which I think you would agree is one fine framebag. .I think Beth at Wildcatgear is producing some of the finest quality bikepacking products money can buy at the moment!

My new Wildcatgear multicam Tiger holster is in my opinion another bikepacking product of the highest quality both in construction & materials

Nice bags! I seriously considered this for my Lion and Tiger because my frame bag is made from surplus MTP camo material. Not as nice as that Leopard either. The gate staff always comment on my bike when I ride it in a military establishment!

I figured my next bike might not be green though.

A small, extremely light and totally mystifying bag arrived today, turned out to be my BB meths stove which I'd forgotten I'd ordered :mrgreen: Chucked some meths in, set fire to it and boiled a ti cup full of water in about 8 mins :-bd Way better and less faffy than the vargo triad and lighter too.
Cheers stu
