Hi folks.
Time to check out my camping kit in prep for a few mini Summer trips.

I have a Robens Down Lite 500 sleeping bag. UK purchased.

11+ years old. First used on my Pamir trip 2015 and subsequent UK trips.
No issues with the bag; zip still zips!

It looks in good shape and has been stored open in a dry area.
I think it's time for a clean rather than an airing.
The wash guide has faded away but I can see ' Duck Down 80%'.

Any thoughts? Dry clean or hand wash with a special detergent?

Matt

Thanks very much for this heads up!

These DIY clickbait videos usually involve extracting free energy, perpetual motion, or wifi from thin air and almost always use electrical tape, hot glue, heat from a torch or lighter and a spark plug to do so.

This clever fellow's effort will never work...he's missing the spark plug!

Best, Dan.

There's always one, and here he is!

Heh-heh. I wish I was as handy as that fellow, handling the bare blade with such aplomb. But I wouldn't wish his spatial awareness on a dog.

His hooter will be knocked off against the seat stay of his bike on the wheel's first revolution after fitting.

Perhaps the instructions were written in a late emanation of Chinglish, which even the Chinese now avoid by giving no instructions whatsoever. But it really should be obvious  to anyone that the hooter is supposed to fit inside the spokes where it will be protected, and may even use the air cavity inside the tube to create a much bigger and therefore more startling warning than that mouse squeak.
