My online notes and product reviews
The only item in my backpack that has not changed in the last N years is an Izhevsk rug. Measuring 180×50 cm and a thickness of 10 mm, it weighs about 380 grams and occupies an impressive volume of mine backpack. It does not offer much comfort of sleep, but it wonderfully plays the role of wind protection for the burner.
However, it could not cope with the summer wind of change.

There are a lot of hermetic bags in stores. I started with the cheapest Ali Express noname backpack containers. And this summer I got acquainted with Osprey models of dry bags.

Who doesn’t like playing table tennis?
Everyone does: it’s fun and entertaining. And you don’t necessarily need a live person to accompany you in your ping-pong sessions. You can directly take advantage of specialised table tennis robots with an average 200 balls capacity. And it’s always such a problem picking all those balls up from the ground. Of course, one can use a special table tennis net for keeping balls, but ball scoop is something that can change a tedious ball picking procedure into an entertaining one.
This is a Whack-a-Mole table tennis equivalent: rather efficient, quick and downright fun. Forget about concentrating on proper net technique, because capturing balls with a ball scoop is as much fun as playing table tennis.
