Experienced overlanders have been doing it for years. Homemade. But if you are just starting out with your Overland career, you wish you knew before your water tanks are completely empty. Finding a water tap is the best part of the day. Not getting water from the tap into your tank is the worst part of that same day.
A tap without a 'Gardena coupling' is more often found outside Europe. And then you will love your tool, the Water Thief.
It is actually nothing more than a thick rubber band that you can wrap around the tap with a screw to tighten it. And on the other side you have your well-known Gardena coupling to attach your hose.
Don't fancy to do a little bit of homework? No need to. We bought 2 versions at Tigerexped. A version for taps between 10-20mm and a version for the big watertaps 20-30mm.
note: We bought it ourselves. No sponsorship.
I've been testing various free shadow removers, and the one on Remove Shadow (the German site) focuses specifically on facial shadows. I tried it with a harsh shadow cast from a window, and while it didn't fully erase it, the result was surprisingly clean. The process is quick—just three steps. If you're dealing with similar shadows, you might find this shadow remover tool useful as a starting point.
