淘寶直運

淘寶近來都幾積極推直運。

最初係搞咩直運咭，十五蚊人仔，三次十五蚊以下直運免費，另外又有啲紅包，結果我就試咗。

結果發現，我買三件貨，有時會分三次送，有時會集埋一包先送，都幾煩。

無所謂喇，都幾扺用。

但最後我用晒三次之後就無再買，因為覺得佢地鼓勵我買野既方法。平時真係有野買先買，仲要儲到有幾件先一次過買。

後來到雙十一，佢有得抽奬，感覺人人都抽到，我抽到五十蚊人仔，咁都好丫，唔使錢，咪照用咯，最後咪一啲貨用直運，以五十蚊為上限，其餘用返集運。

當日發現好似貴咗，運好少野就用完五十蚊，簡單講，五十蚊只得兩件唔係咁重既貨！不過心諗，唔使錢，是但喇！

直到某天....

收到電話話送貨上嚟屋企！仲話要收二十蚊送貨費，我話唔制，叫佢改送自提點！誰不知，自提點都一樣要收二十蚊！立時有中計既感覺！

後來發現，依家直運 default 係送去你家，而以前我買直運卡，那時 default 係自提點，而且係唔使附加費！

似乎真係一個局嚟！我諗唔到點解要用直運了...

就算無呢個局，直運都唔吸引，首先，你買野時要考慮清楚，一次過落單！無咗彈性！

直運唯一方便係唔使等齊貨再人手叫佢集運！但其實快唔得幾多，亦唔方便得多好多！

簡單講，用返集運喇！又平，又簡單，亦差不多速度！

嶂上營地水源

嶂上營地不難去，但營地除了許林士多內，並沒有水源。

許林士多平日未必開放，但若沿嶂上郊遊徑步行上去，路上仍有數個不錯的水源，就算沒有下雨，水量仍算穩定。

我是在秋冬時份上山，兩星期內沒下過雨，以下是水源的大約位置：

第一個普遍地圖都有顯示，就是猴塘溪，大路稍稍走入去便看見，路段易走易認：

入口處是 C5201 和 C5202 之間，比較近 C5202，路口處有下圖郊遊徑的標示柱：

路是這樣的，很分明易認，也不難走：

這溪比較闊大，水量極為充足，但離開營地亦最遠，宜上水途中取用，若然先紥營再取水，來回要 20 分鐘以上。

再放大看另外兩個水源位置：

這兩個位置基本上已經上到山上，屬平地部份，也有一些廢村屋在林中，似乎以前村民也是用這些水？

第一個是 C5203 後不久，水量很少，圖看比較差，但實地看卻尚可飲用，當然要先過濾：

另一個是 C5203 和 C5204 之間，黃竹塱範圍，水源相對充足，甚至有小群魚兒在其中！

以上兩個水源皆在路旁，不難發現，但正因為較近路旁，易被人為污染，宜跟著水流稍向上游前進取水，也建議先過濾、煮沸然後才飲用。

A new tent for me 3F Lanshan 2

I finally took the plunge to get one myself.

I've a 3F single person tent for long, and it broke the first time during camping earlier this year at the sunset peak, during a long windy night.  I've tried to fix it but then I found another issue later and that was a harder fix.  Actually, I could still use it except a bigger excuse (not really reason) was it's small size, so that I always want something a bit more roomy.

1.4kg everything included, I mean with the optional groundsheet or footprint.

It's heavier than my 3F single person tent, but it's lighter than my Mobi Garden Air.  Target for camping that requires some non-trivial hiking, say like more than one hour.

Finally got a chance to try it out, very easy to setup, highly wind-proof and stable.

My Cooking System 露營煮食包

This is about my cooking system, all packed inside a green bag:

It's pretty heavy at 873g as you could see, but it's already very much optimized.  Let's see what's inside:

It consists of two titanium stove, one is full sized and the other one was an ultra-small backup inside that little green bag.  There is a simple knife in blue.  Two lighters.  One pan holder which can also hold other hot stuff, like my titanium cup after boiling water, for example.

That orange pattern roll is my wind shield.  That black bag contains a steak titanium knife, a pair of titanium chopsticks, and a long titanium spork.  You can also see an orange silicon tool which is exceptionally useful.  The little plastic bag on the far left holds the tooth picks.  That pink stuff is my electric toothbrush, and the tooth paste was around it.

Finally, a medium sized gray bag holds the oil and seasonings.  I also have a holder for steaming stuff inside.  I also placed some tea bags and dehydrated soup!

And this is my cooking stuff, all titanium.  For 614g, I have a cooking pot, a cup and a bowl inside, finally, a small gas canister is packed inside as well!
