What have you bought?

[Balagan]

Reported (to the Harbour Grand)...

Self-conscious people nick these. I just ask the cleaning staff for some extras and they are usually happy to lighten their trolley.

There is a powdered smokers toothpaste as well, just pop some in a flip top 2g artists paint pot (or something larger if required) and dip toothbrush in.

Those are the ones I prefer, when I can get hold of them

Not the most impressive of items, but 3 x 20ml squeeze bottles for midge cream, alcohol gel and foot cream or tooth paste.

Toothie Tabs from lush are the lightest way to go that we've found.

They look great. But £144.50 a kilo (£6.50/45g) is a bit rich.

Cheaper per kilo than the Dirigo! Fortunately, we neither buy nor use them by the kilo

Anyone tried making your own by doing dots of toothpaste on greaseproof paper and putting them in the oven?

Yes. It's easy. Colgate works well.

aye, did 30 odd of them for the CWT, took a few on pre hikes and thought they were minging, didn't seem to break down very well, decided i prefer just to use the paste.

I didn't put them in the oven though, maybe that's where i went wrong, i just put them on grease proof paper and let them dry naturally (I also received the look from the wife), sprinkled a bit of some powder from the wife's baking stuff over them (Read that online somewhere)

Yup, I can hear the ridicule now - that I would get if I started putting toothpaste dots to dry in the dehydrator - they (hubby and son) think I'm a bit OTT about this "go lighter" lark as it is

At last!

I've been using these from save some green, their bamboo toothbrushes are good and light too, really rate them:

I 'm not sure about the Danish krone versus pounds, but we buy these:

https://foreverandever-amen.dk/shop...GaxJRzKH87IJu87o5jtOt9oSeuMpVM45_hNd-p9-pyqzU

We get like 125 toothpaste tabs for like 6 pounds, when they are on sale.

It takes some "training" to use them at first. But now we are getting better.

Do you have a tutorial for this? Would love to try it

 

[snow]

Didn't actually buy any but will the next time I'm going for a walk... "Actiph" water, comes in a 1l bottle which appears to be the same as the US smartwater bottles (unlike UK smartwater which is 850ml!).

Leave the dots in a sunny dry room and it will do the same.

Think I've just bought one of those xmids from drop, says I'll get confirmation in 2 hours.

see how I get on with mesh inner, i might be ok. hopefully it's worked as I had a stash put aside for a strat li or notch li but got fed up waiting for them

For me with about 16 nights it's a non-issue thus far. The tent sits tight to the ground so is not so breezy....yet..

 

[Enzo]

I'm not meant to buy anything this month, but...
Firemaple fm5 petrol stove. Apparently 250g stove and pump.

In all honesty I'm unlikely to be anywhere where my much lighter meths system wouldn't suffice, but have dreams of melting snow.....

Sometimes you get just lucky...…...though it does seem to be getting a less frequent occurrence.

Agreed though I have had the dreaded letter arrive 7 or 8 days later in the past.
