OK, I have too much time on my hands...obviously
I'm going over and over my packing list, looking to improve it by:
What? that's actually a 'thing'?
There has been a constant stream of courier deliveries over the last few weeks, as various goodies have been dropped off at my door.
I feel like an Amateur version (very amateur) of @davebugg with all the gear testing going on!
The latest?
Ass Pads!
Who would have thought?
For those days when you want to sit down the trail, in the middle of nowhere, and the ground is wet, or uncomfortable.
I was thinking of a square of bubble wrap. But No. Ass pads are a 'thing'. And lightweight!
But what to take? I need to weigh up comfort, size, and weight.
Two have arrived for testing. Just tested by 2 Pilgrims.
The Rolls Royce. A$65 47 gms Comfort factor 8/10
And.......... The Kia A$9.94 25 gms Comfort factor 9/10
Both are a similar size and fold up to similar size.
Guess which one is going with me?
"You get what you pay for"? Hmmm. Not always.
In fairness I have not tested resilience to wear and weather........
A$65
A$9.94
I'm going over and over my packing list, looking to improve it by:
- Taking items out.
- Swapping in lighter items.
- Making sure items are at least dual purpose.
