To those who went to the War straight from school and survived it, the problem of what to do afterwards was peculiarly difficult.' For H.W. 'Bill' Tilman, the solution lay in Africa: in gold prospecting, mountaineering and a 3,000-mile bicycle ride across the continent. Tilman was one of the greatest adventurers of his time, a pioneering climber and sailor who held exploration above all else. He made first ascents throughout the Himalaya, attempted Mount Everest, and sailed into the Arctic Circle. For Tilman, the goal was always to explore, to see new places, to discover rather than conquer. First published in 1937, Snow on the Equator chronicles Tilman's early adventures; his transition from East African coffee planter to famed mountaineer. After World War I, Tilman left for Africa, where he grew coffee, prospected for gold and met Eric Shipton, the two beginning their famed mountaineering partnership, traversing Mount Kenya and climbing Kilimanjaro and Ruwenzori. Tilman eventually left Africa in typically adventurous style via a 3,000-mile solo bicycle ride across the continent - all recounted here in splendidly funny style. Tilman is one of the greatest of all travel writers. His books are well-informed and keenly observed, concerned with places and people as much as summits and achievements. They are full of humour and anecdotes and are frequently hilarious. He is part of the great British tradition of comic writing and there is nobody else quite like him.

72PCS Screw-In Tire Plugs.
Size: 72PCS, Size: 72PCS
This is a kit of 70 tire repair screw-in plugs. There are 30 large plugs, 20 medium plugs, and 20 small plugs, along with a screwdriver and the box. The plugs are reasonable quality and pre-coated with sealant. They are individually sealed in small capsules making them easy to carry and use. They stay clean in their capsules as well. The included screwdriver is better quality than some, but not high quality. To use this kit effectively you're going to need something like needle-nose-pliers to remove the object (nail, etc.) that punctured your tire. After the puncture object is removed you will choose the appropriately sized plug and screw it into the hole to seal the puncture. To do this, you're going to want a decent screwdriver. The one included may get the job done, but since you still need the pliers (or similar tool) available, why not get a good screwdriver as well. It will make the job much easier and more effective. These plugs are great for fixing many types of punctures to your tires. They won't work for all flat repairs, but they are great to have on hand for the most common types. This kit has a lot of plugs that will potentially repair a lot of punctures. With a better screwdriver and a tool to remove whatever punctured your tire this is a solid choice to have in case of a puncture emergency.
