If you mean my raingear it's a very simple SilPoly Light Heart gear rain jacket, it does have pit zips though.:);)
If you mean my cake it's very simple as well-just some raw mixed up ingredients and set in the fridge. Delicious.
Even this little number below that I'm about to inhale, is very simple, but for the inner sponge.
Bathed in raw choccy and rolled in lots of desiccated coconut🤙- 500 kilojoules of light and fluffy Lamington .:whistling:

I'd carried my brew kit for. 28miles, with the intention of having a brew on the three summits... Just for this thread... Alas Freyr wasn't favouring me and it wasn't to be.... It tasted so dang good at the end though with some trail gravel 😊

Coffee break today. Testing out Ocelot windscreen for my Fire Midge stove - intend to take this on the CWT. Thanks to @Jon Fong for shipping it so quick. in windy conditions this design makes a huge difference to boil times.

There's not much gap between windscreen and pot, does it allow the exhaust gases to escape OK? I'd pondered using my Ocelot with the same Toaks pot but wondered if that might be an issue.

Yeah I thought that looking at the photo. In reality there is Just about enough space. much less than Jon recommends, but I move the pot to one side slightly to leave a bigger gap on the other And it seems to work. When I am rehydrating meals I need the 900ml pot otherwise I generally use the 650ml.

Tried an unusual way to make coffee yesterday... Using a tetra drip, wedged a coffee bag in and poured hot water over.

Why? Well, using the small Wildo fold-a-cup coffee bags take a lot of the volume and this might get more coffee out of the bag.
Why didn't I use ground coffee? Well, I usually carry ground coffee for breakfast and just have coffee bags as backup in case I fancy coffee during the day or at camp in the evening, so I carry the tetra drip anyway

Verdict? Well, works fine, at least as good as using the bag conventionally. It just needs topping up regularly with small amounts of water (if over-filled the water just spills through the corners of the tetra drip).
