"Today I went to my LCS and I bought…"
- A pillow. I liked the Exped one Tiso had, but I actually wanted a Klymit Cush Seat Pillow which of course they didn't have (though mail order is always an option), and in the end I went for a Trekmates one that was a fraction of the price. I can always get fancy later if I want to.
- Some cutlery. Titanium sporks and BPA-free spatulas are all very covetable but actually what I wanted was a simple knife and fork and spoon. It took ages to find them, because they're in stealth dark grey* polycarbonate and were on the floor level shelf, leaving the money shelves to the brightly coloured sporks and food boxes.
- A folding cup, to match my folding-plate-chopping-board-thing.
- Moar gas.
Now to find a big aluminium tray to modify into a windshield for the stove. My lap jointed one turned out to be not tall enough, which was a shame because it fits nicely into the cooking kit.
*to match my stealth grey tent, and therefore to be really hard to find if I drop them in the dark. I have some luminous grip tape, but it's a bit hard on the fingers. Obviously I need to find some clear heatshrink tubing now.
