[@DeXterXPz]

great to watch ! what are those earphones? they look great for crossing

[@OllieEllis]

They’re Shokz OpenCom, I connect them to my radio and phone. They work really well.

[@ChristianBacker]

Awesome. Why it's called gumball?

[@OllieEllis]

It’s just a play on words from the guys that started it a few years ago, there is a car rally called the gumball.

[@ChristianBacker]

Thanks for the explanation

[@smurfsky101]

28kg - wow how much of that is food / water?

[@OllieEllis]

3kg of water, Im not sure on the weight of the food but 4 days worth. Too much really :/

[@Xozbg_pz]

[@OllieEllis]

I use XC Tracer and Oudie N, headset is a Shokz opencom

[@Xozbg_pz]
