    or Trade, Tilley hat

    If it helps to sell it, I have two Tilleys the original style and a waxed cotton for when it's raining and I love them both, would definitely replace if I lost them. Having owned numerous hats over the years the Tilleys have been the only ones that I really recommend now, almost indestructable...

    Dry bags?

    Depends somewhat on whether you want lightweight or heavy duty, I have several of the silnylong exped ones and they really are good. I have just bought a couple by Osprey to try as well. My favourite at the moment are the Seallines, much heavier but really robust.

    PHD or Alpkit sleeping bag?

    I've not tried the Alpkit bags although I know people that like them, however I do own 2 x PHD bags and they're truly excellent. I think if you can stretch to them they'd be my first choice.

    Giant have a very good rep, if it's genuine I can't see an issue with the build quality.

    Bushcraft knife recommendation

    It's also important to see which ones fit your hand/style of using. I love my BCUK Spyderco knife but often return to a Mora or my original Puukko.

    Mountain bike set ups?

    Interestingly enough the research that has been done says they're actually quite quick, as the tyres are so huge they deform over objects/irregularities in the ground which takes less energy that riding over the top of them.

    Mountain bike set ups?

    I do covert a fat bike, they look great fun.

    Mountain bike set ups?

    That's nice thing is if I was going to spend that I'd be really tempted with a dropper post. This one is a 29er and I find the tyre capacity is so huge I don't find it that much of an issue, not compared to my road bike anyway :)
