Was gonna stick this under 'Postman's Been' cos he has. But this a/septic spray's turned up so let's carry on here.
Took a while to find one less than 100g, but obviously Captain Thickie here should have realised that 55g - quite acceptable - is NET weight. Gross weight is 90g and the can is about 4cm by 15cm. Hmm, not really in the U/L slip-it-in category then.
The instructions are in Greek so that'll be handy for the Greek hol I'm never going to have.
English fine-print says 'spray from 30cm' which is about 29cm too far in a storm on top of Cader Idris. In calm conditions that distance would probably cover a wound about the same diameter so excellent for a gaping chest hole caused by, say, riding off the edge of said Cader Idris.
On the negative/positive side there's obv lots of nasty propellents in there which are very handy if you run out of stove fuel.
So, worth a try but not fully convinced yet. Three options:
1. Take anyway, doubling 1st aid weight
2. Keep at home.
3. Use as 'silly snow' at office Xmas parties.

Ps. Almost started getting lunch ready then cos website says 11.34 but it must be stuck on BST so I've switched to morning tea and biccies instead at 10.34.
