Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

[2DDav]

Was at the mates early doors this morning and found he had a birthday present that was needing returned as he had already bought said present himself without his Mrs knowing. Long story short I came away with a Stimson Explorer kit:







Kit consists of:

A durable galvanised steel galley unit topped with robust aluminium chequerplate.

A hard-wearing manually operated water system with resistant braided water pipe.

Water pump capacity: 8 litres per minute.

A 6.5 litre lift-out sink and draining mat.

A shower attachment and separate 20 litre solar shower unit.

A toughened 10 litre polythene water carrier with screw top and additional pouring spout.

A 9QT built-in cooler box.

A quality single burner butane gas stove complete with piezo ignition, built-in pressure safety device and aluminium wind shield.

Aluminium worktop which fits over the sink unit.

Chrome mug storage rack and equipment stowage net.

A lift out galvanised steel utensils tray, complete with non-slip matting and rubber edging.

Quality chopping board.

A strong 'T' adjustable drop down leg, enabling the unit to fit vehicles – trailers – day boats up to 1 metre from ground level. The unit is also capable of being used at ground level using the additional adjustable leg for uneven terrain.
Rubber straps to lock the unit down when travelling and prevent rattling.
Strong lock-down steel carry handles.


Should fit nicely in the van and will make a change from sandwich's when out for the day on the bike.

I've seen one of those before on the interwebs. Good bit of kit

Fancied a new hoodie, thought I'd give this a try:

Not sure I'm cool enough for the image, but the quality is pretty good, nice weight to the hood.

I note that your Stimson also has minimal ground contact !!!!

I pretend it's for the kids (they do love it too though). I'm sure they needed the full Ferrari Shell set they got for Christmas...!

You should be careful they're not fakes, I hear a PH'er had a tough time of it when he discovered his weren't real. Lost all of £8

ETA: Oh wait, they are fakes

All mental arithmetic. I wasn't sure if I had the capabilities to manipulate a spreadsheet in such a fashion...
