And the work was as follows. First of all, with the usual clamshell removed the tarp and springs, and also, cut the rivets, the arc of the headrest. For the longitudinal framing members used a tube from another old clamshell. To blend with a transverse pipe of the framework we came up with, we think, quite an interesting way. After cutting at the end of each longitudinal pipe is made semi-circular notch. At the point of joining on the transverse elements wound through three or four layers of textile adhesive tape and placing the longitudinal pipe, pulled the frame to a steel cable.

They have a lightweight but durable rigid frame which provides a soft, in fact, haversack convenient box-like shape, more advantageous for laying the stowed cargo and carrying it on his back. But what about those who already have a backpack? Suggest to equip it with a built-in collapsible a frame of duralumin pipes. It will handle the load no worse frame easel purchase of a backpack. Besides, unlike the latter, can usefully stand for you in camp three of the four tubes are easily removed from the backpack and being connected together into, for example, in a solid rack. I have it, in particular, serves as the sole support of a makeshift tent tent.

With the teenage years stuck with me a travel song that “people go around the world, they kind of need would be a sturdy tent, Yes, boring way,” And the motive winningly simple, and the words still retain their relevance. Especially about the tent because that offers today’s domestic market, a real tourist, alas, is not always suitable.

Because of the deterioration of the old Velocimetry often have to fix. The new find does not always succeed there, but another size of industry and trade not able to keep up with “different-sized” Bicycle wheels in the population.

The adventurous has a lot of gadgets for cooking in field conditions (stoves, soldering lamps, portable stoves, etc.). They need a supply of liquid fuel or wood. First — it is unsafe to store, and firewood in the mountains or in the steppe belese not find. For climbers and hikers, hunters and anglers offer a simple and easy to use stove that does not require traditional fuel. A mini-stove and a few packs of dry fuel in the backpack many places will not take.

Mushroom pickers, fishermen and tourists have seen many times on the narrow paths of the forests of the Moscow region a strange structure that appeared as silently and as noiselessly disappeared with a flash of shiny rims of Bicycle wheels. And over these wheels stood a pile of backpacks, bags and baskets. Told that unusual bike has three wheels, but they are located — in contrast to the well-known tricycles — not a triangle, and to each other in one line!

Our town is located on a large “edge” of the huge Western Siberian forest. The most beautiful places. Nature beckons just Hiking. In the warm period of the year with that being said, no problem.

…First was a call to the editor. Youth voice, which was heard simultaneously and joy, and pride, and impatience to share all these feelings said that we have built and successfully tested an unusual inflatable boat. Pulled out of the backpack, it is a rectangular panel: inflated “frog” becomes a raft (a large mattress); laced or strapped on end edges turns into a boat capable of taking three people and cargo. And all of this is made of a thin fabric “silverfish” with a rubber adhesive.
