Waterproof Compression Sack
I bought this from Blacks Outdoors Shop on High St Kensington a week ago for £9.99. So far then it has only had to cope with the rigours of a few days at my parents house and a few days in the woods so I can't give it a full review as yet. Initial impressions are good though, it is made from sturdy material that gives the impression that it will last a long time.
My use for this it as something to store clothes in to both keep them dry, something I imagine is quite important in a Rainforest, and squeeze them down to use up the least space possible. I have experimented will all kinds of waterproof bags and the best of them have given up working after a month or so, this compression sack whilst not yet been fully tested is proving much better than the others that can be bought on the high street.
Update
Rubbish, the waterproof layer rubbed through on one of the corners within a couple of weeks. The only way I'm taking this to the jungle with me is if I can't get anything better.
Ray Mears sells a similar product on his site but I have not tried his, I assume that they are good.
Jam
After only a few weeks of not particularly robust use a hole appeared in the bottom of this, it looks as though it had worn through.
Not reconmended.
