Atlasware Flasks

This is what Atlasware has to say about their product:

Product Info

The Atlasware stainless steel flasks come in various sizes and colours. It is ideal for use in the outdoors, by sports enthusiasts, school kids or wherever you want to take it. You can be sure that you will have a cold drink on a hot summers day or something hot for those cold winter mornings. One of the key design features is that it is easy to carry and it's smooth surfaces enable easy storage in sports bags, children's bookcases and even motor cup holders. The stainless steel surface ensures total hygiene and durability.
It is recommended that the plastic lid and rubber seal be rinsed with water after use and the flask be stored empty and dry, with the lid open.
The Atlasware stainless steel flask is high-tech innovation that is extremely durable and it's hot/cold characteristics is simply amazing.


I bought 3 x 1L flasks and we tested it on a sunny day (37 Degrees) on the tenniscourts at Upington.
They worked realy realy well for keeping water icy cold.
The wife will do the "keeping coffee warm" on a later stage.

So far: Well worth the money !

After setting up and zero-ing the scope, I shot a 5-shot group at 35m of the bipod:

 

 

 

 

 

Got a Red Fox Riflecase for the Theoben:

 



 

Timex Expedition Watch

Lost my previous watch at the tennis courts playing with the kids.


Got this Timex Expedition watch over the internet.
Didn't like the strap and immediatly made a paracord strap for the watch.

Pocket Shower

Took this on a recent hiking trip.
Lekka small and lite weight.
Was a hit, especially amongst the ladies.

 

 

It's the same material as that of Dry Bags.
Only with this one, the water goes inside.

 

 

 

 

 

At the bottem it has a small showerhead.

Open bigger and smaller and close by turning the showerhead.

 

 

 

 

 

Also wind up three times and clip in, to close it off tight at the open end. (Same as drybag)

 

 

 

 

 

Comes with some rope to hang from something.

I find it easier to use a carbiner to hang the shower.

 

Biggest challenge was to find suitable spot. . . .

and secondly to get the girls some privacy . . . . . .  used 2 sharoms for that

 

On the second night we added some warm water . . . .  that made the experience perfect !

WEG Toksak

Die WEG toksak is baie groter as wat ek my ingedink het (vir die prys)
Die sak is van regte canvas gemaak, het selfs daai was (wax) gevoel as jy aan hom vat.
Die ritsluiter "Zip" is YKK en gee regtig 'n kwaliteit gevoel aan die sak.
Die dra bande is nie WOW nie, maar daar is ook niks met hulle fout nie.
Persoonlik sou ek net 'n dikker band verkies het.
Die bande is baie goed van onder die sak se pens tot hoog teen die kant vas gestik.
Daar is nie klein sakkies aan die kante of erens nie, dis een groot oop sak.
Nate is tot die minimum beperk.
Dis beslis 'n "No nonsence, rugged" toksak.

Eerste paar mense vir wie ek die sak gewys het, het almal die opmerking gemaak dat dit 'n lekker sak is vir jou beddegoed. Ek dink sy gebruike is legio en volgens my, vir die prys, 'n lekker stuk toerusting vir enige kamper / buitelewe mens.

Ek gaan myne ook gebruik vir my canvas gasebo se kant seile.
Mens kan dit selfs gebruik vir jou duiktoerusting. . . . elk geval, regtig nie 'n sleg toksak nie.


Het verlede naweek die toksak behoorlik getoets op 'n jag naweek.
Daar is sommer in die veld gekamp en genade was min, want die spoed was hoog.
Slaapsak, kombers en kussing daarin gesit.
Sak wys geen tekens van die mishandel nie.

Fishfinder Setup for Kayak Fishing

It's winter and it's cold, one dream of summer and sea.
Thought it a good time to get my fishfinder setup ready for December's kayak fishing.
Had the fishfinder last December already but struggeled to keep everything together (battery, wires, sensor and display)

Started with a piece of Marineply wood.
Cut some holes for a ratched strap that will secure everything to the kayak again in the end.

Then secured the frame of the Display to the wood with screws.

The battery you want to keep as dry as possible, so I took a watertight plastic container to use as housing.The holes that were drilled for the cable and screws was just big enough for a tight fit.

Then secured the plastic container to it's place on the wood with 2 srews.

Houston we have power !

Now to add the sensor. Would like to keep everything together. Hmmmmm . . . . . .
Came up with this:

Folded in and out:

Final Product:

Everything in a convenient carry option:

Step Out Bag - Upgraded

Those with small kids, specially boys, will know that you get the frequent toe bash or the bruised knee or the thorn in the foot or the stepping on a coal ect ect.
Thats why I decided to make myself a bag with the nessaserry gear to handle those small hiccups thar occur in everyday life. It's a combination of survival, medical, EDC and just some nice stuff and gear to have with you. Call it the Step Out Bag, cause I never leave the house without it.

First bag got to small, so I got this one from Walker Wargame via the internet for R250.
It's called the "Specific Universal Gear Pouch Bag". They claim it's made from 800 D High Density Nylon.

The bag has 4 pockets in total, 2 side, 1 main and 1 front.
The sling can be adapted to carry over the shoulder or around the waist.

Added a small LED keyring light to one of the zippers

Contents of the pockets:

First side pocket:

Second side pocket:

Front Pocket:

Main Pocket:

O yes . . . . . and in the secret pocket:
