Waterbob arrived today , box is intact no outward signs of damage but i'm fighting the urge to try it out cos i know it'll never be this compact again and how the hell would i get it dry and ready to store again? this is going to bug me having a peice of kit i've not tested.

Could you not just test it and then demand the wife showers instead of uses the bath?
Had a busy day on Amazon today. Didn't buy much though. Just some books, gear, water purifiers, clothing, actually...quite a bit really.

I would store it away without opening it,.. the chances are that if the packaging is ok then the goods will be,...I know its a risk, but I think its an exceptable one
...or maybe, you could open it, check it out, dry it and repack it into an easier pack like a tent bag, something like that

You could inflate it with air, if its air tight it'll be water tight and then deflate it with a hoover and suck all the air out and similar sized small package again...
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Midnitemo - 17 September 2013

managed to convince TPTB to buy UV5R+'s instead of Motorola CP040 for comms at work
£180 for 1x Motorola, or £110 for 4x UV5R+'s.
Used CHIRP to lock out most of the funtions, except the business freqs we use.
now have 4x in service in various environments, more to follow if it's a successful trial!
