roamer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) I've met a few strange ones over the years and this guy is right up there, check him out. Someone, somewhere must have had the misfortune of meeting him ? Maybe you got to sample his Magellan's Travel Toilet Tissue before he demonstrated him Groommate Platinum XL nose hair trimmer ? The worrying thing is there are probably TV members who think this guy travels light... Please stay home ! PS. He is probably also recognisable by his Eagle Creek UnderCover™ Leg Stash. :D Edited April 1, 2010 by roamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) At one point he says 'I am a sucker' and another 'Until I get robbed'. I take this as an open invitation. Lets borrow all his stuff when he reaches Thailand and follow his blog closely. Should make for fun reading. Makes me feel inadequate with my spare pair of shorts and a couple of t-shirts....

roamer Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ok you can borrow his stuff but man I have to have this nose hair trimmer, not for me you understand but there's this bg I know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pampal Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 All that gear would end up costing more than the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up-country_sinclair Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Clearly this guy is going over the top. However, some of his gear is pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) I think the only reason he wrote that blog is to profit from all the affiliate links that he has provided for each of those 'quality' items. Simon Actually, I take that comment back. Many of the links go directly to the product website. Now I realise this guy is an idiot because he is missing out on affiliate revenues that could perhaps fund his world trip Edited April 2, 2010 by simon43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 First blog entry. Just got mugged of all my possessions within 10 minutes of arriving at Mor Chit bus station. Then the police picked me up for having no passport and I'm currently in IDC as 2 rather large Nigerian gentlemen eye my buttocks with relish. HELP ME MUMMY!

Tigs Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Well, I think he is jolly well prepared and has spent a lot of time and money getting the right kit. Ray Mears would be proud of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 He forgot a shot of his cap tilted slightly askew. That ruined it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalkingMan Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 That guy has some nice stuff and that power strip looks like a good idea for people bringing electrical equipment while on holiday. I like the backpack too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlooker Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 He's got condoms, two brands, just in case he gets lucky he can offer his partner a choice of 'Okamoto Beyond Crown Condoms, Durex Extra Sensitive Condoms' Nice backpack though and the hat is pretty cool too. Although I managed to get round the world with a 30 quid backpack from Army & Navy stores and half a dozen plastic bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) May be not so well prepared...anyone see any condom's ??....you know.... to carry water in... Yes, they are there ! This guy has some severe form of OCD, I do like the nose hair trimmer though ! It's almost unbelievable that he took a photo of the inside of his shoe.

Boo Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The questions in my head are; 1) where is he going to put any clothes after packing all the other pointless crap in his bag? and 2) does he actually have any money left after buying all that pointless crap?

Jingthing Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 If he's a Virgo, then astrology is an exact science. Seriously, I have met people like him but he is a severe case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigs Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I guess it is all down to the way we think. I am pretty sure I have exactly the same pair of trainers as this guy (collecting scorpions in the outhouse no doubt), but I bought them because they were on sale and looked ok. Not this guy! He understands every scientific and design principle behind the shoe in order to confirm it is what he needs. I just don't think like that, certainly when I buy stuff.

Jingthing Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) His writing is funny too -- I feel a little cliche about being so excited about this camera, since it seems that the whole internet can't stop talking about it, but I really have to agree.So he imagines his audience as obsessed as he is about this stuff. The whole internet indeed. Edited April 2, 2010 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bifftastic Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) I started out wanting to punch him whilst wearing those gloves that have the patches that harden on impact but found myself wanting to get some of the stuff he has! then I wanted to punch him for making me want some of the stuff he has and showing me his rucksack (unzipped). And for telling me that his binoculars turn into a makeshift microscope! Now I want to add him to my list of things that are bothering me today http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Bothering-t352695.html BTW has anyone checked out his itinerary??? According to his google map he's going everywhere, literally everywhere in the world apart from Antarctica and the Arctic! he says 'it looks like i might be doing a little travelling this year' !!!
