    Yes, although the blades are very very sharp and with the locking mechanism for the blades I've managed to cut myself many a time trying to put them back in!

    I suspect Recycler goes camping toting nothing but a Cornish Pasty – food, shelter and emergency kit all rolled into one!

    Rolo, you are a lightweight camper I see!

    Now, I’ve mentioned the colourfully named Bob Woofter and his marvellous book, Motorcycle Camping Made Easy, before. Here is Mr. Woofters packing list. Remember he is:
    a. American
    b. A BMW rider

    I’ve typed it in the original Americanised English – you can work it out.

    1 pocket poncho
