Fletchborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod Great things are brewing at McCafe The perfect start to every day Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod I did something of the week and I reckon I'll give you a bit of a stiffy Fletch Oh, boner time I bought some new vacuum seal bags and sealed up some stuff I use these a lot

Although it's always jarring after that Netflix series, Don't Fuck With Cats. Oh, that's right. Oh. Because you put the cat in there, right? Shut up. Yeah. Is that what he did? That whole thing is awful.

I'd forgotten about that. Yeah, man. Was that over COVID as well? Was that lockdown? It was pre. Now it's pre. Was that pre? It was ages ago.

Yeah. Maybe in the 2020 maybe? 2020 was COVID. No, 2021. No, 2020 was the first yeah. Maybe in the 2020, maybe? 2020 was COVID. No, 2021. No, 2020 was the first lockdown. 2020 was the first lockdown. We had two that year, the big ones. Oh, okay, it was end of 2019.

Yeah. Yeah, that was full noise, that docker. No, so, yeah, I needed to fit a whole lot of big fluffy stuff into a suitcase for me going away. Okay, wait, you haven't thought of that? No, I know, yeah, yeah, we've got a fucking problem on our hands at the other end of things. When I have to get it all back

into the same suitcase to bring it home, I've just got to find a vacuum cleaner. What, like, where? We're in the middle of the bush. No, so the trip I'm going on, I leave from Tiana, but there's a quarantine centre, so we take it all into the quarantine centre.

For those that haven't heard the big part you're going to a Department of Conservation island. Pretty to freeze. A whole lot of hoops you've got to jump through and fair enough too. Millions and millions of dollars have been spent saving the kakapo so you don't want to drag anything on

untoward. So you've got to wash all your clothes and then you've got to kind of seal them and And I was like, well, I'll seal them, but I'll also suck all the air out of the bag so I can fit them in the suitcase. The suitcase doesn't come with me to the island. They give me a big pack that they've checked and I take everything I want to take and put it in the pack. Because they don't want you taking your own pack

because of all the nooks and crannies in a backpack that might have been on previous expeditions. Seeds and such. Fair enough. It is, totally. It's amazing the detail of, you know, that they go to at this quarantine place. So when I get there, they'll undo it

and check all the clothes I'm taking to make sure there's no stowaways. Do they even go through your knickers? Yeah, dude. Your panties. Did you choose some good knickers? Yeah, I'm taking all my nice knickers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I do like a special wash of all my nice knickers. Yeah, okay, good. Because if you know they're going through them, I've got some embarrassing ones, my favourite ones. That's staying at home? Yeah, I'm taking all my nice knickers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need like a special wash of all my nice knickers. Yeah. Okay, good. Because if you know they're going through them, I've got some embarrassing ones, my favorite ones. That's staying at home. Yeah, they're my favorite. They're the most comfy ones, but they're staying at home. So they will open it there,

and I'll put the stuff in another bag and take it with. Now, when I get back to the quarantine station and I get back into my normal clothes and all of the stuff that I also think by that stage could be quite wet. Yeah. Has to go back into the suitcase. It's by that stage could be quite wet yeah has to go back into the suitcase

it's at that stage you need to find a vacuum cleaner so it all fits again but what if you don't you're going to be screwed I don't know what about a service station

that has one of those car vacuum cleaners because we've got a rental car so I could literally just pile it all in and be like let's find a service station with a vacuum cleaner

or what about remember Sade bought one of those Timu like car vacuums? Yeah, I broke it. Tiny little hat. I also don't think those would have had the oomph to seal it. I've shorted out a vacuum cleaner once.

But that's the other thing. I used the big Karcher wet and dry vac on this thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what I use. I've got one of those. But I used the Dyson once and it just stopped. Too much. It's too much. But these ones just don't quit. The Karchers don't quit. I love it. I've got one of those. But I used a Dyson once and it just stopped. Too much. It's too much.

I love it. I love it. You put your summer clothes away or your winter clothes. Yeah, same. But I bought shit bags so it all eventually sucks into the air and now it's all just sitting in the garage just in sort of bags. The cheapest way to do it was to get a five pack.

I think I used three for my expedition. So I had two. And this huge one called the XXL. I love. I've got one of those. I put two massive fucking duvets in it. Like big duvets. Yeah.

Put two of them in there and squished it in. Sealed it shut. I was like, I don't know how much I'm going to get out. They go to nothing, eh? Yeah, but heavy. It's like when you get those, you know see You see people getting those Like latex beds And they're in a tiny box We've got those

Yeah And then you unfold it And you pull the tab And it goes Insane Yeah so insane So yeah that's the problem What are you going to do

If you can't find a vacuum Why don't you just take two bags I might have to on the way there You have to find the way back. You have to find a bag. Well, now you need to find a bag because you're leaving from here. You haven't thought this through. No, it's all.

No, because I can get another bag. No. No. No. No. Because I can get another bag in Queenstown because that's the airport I'm flying back out of. Okay. Oh, yeah, that'll be cheap. No.

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm going to be going into the warehouse and being like, where are those red, white, and blue tricolour... Oh, I know. A lot of airlines have banned those. Because they get tangled up in the baggage system. Okay, and then tear open and then your knickers are over. And then your nice knickers. Yeah, well, they won't be nice at that stage.

You'll probably be very muddy and very wet. Yeah. And I have some explaining to do. Disaster. Yeah, but anyway, I said be nice at that stage. You'll probably be very muddy and very wet. Yeah. And I have some explaining to do. Disaster. Yeah. But anyway, I said to Shadow, I was like, when we get back, we're going to use the ones that I took and we're going to get some more. We're going to do the whole hot water cupboard,

which kind of defeats the purpose of it being a hot water cupboard, right? Because the idea is the air in there is so dry, it keeps everything dry. Yeah. Yeah. But if it's dry and then. Good for space, though. Yeah. I'm talking your duvets, your sleeping bags,

your stuff that you don't use very often Towels and stuff Yeah so good Breathing But And I'm really looking forward to it Sucking that air out Yeah it's good stuff

I love it You suck it out
