InTheMail (Survival Gear) | Voltlog #309

Welcome to a new InTheMail, my usual introductory line would say this is the series that will touch both your passion for electronics and your bank account at the same time but in this episode it’s not about electronics, it’s mostly some outdoor / camping / surviving gear that I got for my adventures and I think some of you may find this interesting, especially as our social behavior is changing now and during this summer we might spend more time in the nature.

I’m gonna start with this paracord rope, it’s 4mm wide, 30 meters long or 100ft with 7 inner strands. It’s rated for 550 pounds or 250Kg minimum breaking strength so this would work for anything when you go outdoors, tying stuff around your camp, tying stuff for transport, but obviously not recommended for anything where your life might depend on it. I try to keep this stuff in my backpack whenever I go camping because it’s pretty light and compact and you never know when you need to improvise and tie something down. The particular seller where I got this offers it in 250 different colors and styles so there is plenty to choose from.

Voltlog #271 – InTheMail (non-electronics)

Welcome to a new Voltlog, as the title says this will be a non-electronics mailbag, meaning I will show you what other stuff I am ordering and receiving by mail. A few days ago I created this poll on my youtube community page and asked where I should upload this kind of video, there were really two options, either upload to this channel or create a new one. I was kinda hoping for people to vote to upload them to the same channel because I don’t really want to manage a second channel and it’s also understandable if people vote for the same channel because they don’t need to perform other actions to subscribe to a second channel. And so it was decided to upload to the same channel but mark these videos as non-electronics mailbags.
