Because it's not like smokers should consider something with a lower risk of cancer if they intend to keep smoking in one form or another. :v: And they sure don't offer this stuff without nicotine, either!

Or you can just poo poo up the thread some more.

I got them in an Ecco shop in Amsterdam. (And I almost bought them at an Ecco shop in a different Dutch city back in November.) Unfortunately, they seem to be hard to find online. Here are some Dutch websites that have them: Broekhuizen, Shoerama, Ziengs.

Searching for Eccos is frustrating because they use the same name for several different styles of shoe. My new shoes are called "Corse", but "Corse" also means things like this and this.

I've made a few of these. They are fun and I desperately wish I had had them when I was a kid because they just taste disappointing as an adult. Fun fact: I sent the hamburger one to a friend and it was the last "meal" she ate before her gastric bypass.

I made the burger kit once. They are less than a hundred calories and take about a half hour to prepare- I feel like you would be hard pressed to gain weight from eating them, given the labor involved!

Why is that tent shaped like that? I thought that shape was moved away from decades ago because flexible poles give more interior room. Does that have poles inside to hold up the tent?

Doesn't look like it. You put it up with hiking poles or suspend it from mounting points like trees. It's for ultralite hiking.

Well my pic was 14 plates shared between three people but I think it's funnier to pile them all up and make it look like one big meal. Although my wife has been known to eat that much by herself if she's been working out a lot so ymmv :shrug:

You use hiking poles to hold it up. No need for dedicated poles. You can play with the angle of the poles to give more floor space.

Does not having a floor on the tent really save that much weight/volume when carrying it in the pack? I feel like that's a silly thing to remove from a tent.

It's more a tarp than a tent in that regard, and it's just a different approach.
