My planned use for the Kea Stash was to hold bait when I walked a trapline. On an overnighter, it wouldn't leak bait liquids at camp. There'd be no smells as the bait defrosted and freshened up. It'd be comfortable to carry and roll up to stow when I exited out of the Park.
It was clearly going to do what it was made to do. And it did - till I got distracted and left it behind somewhere.
Unable to go back and look for it for two weeks due to stormy weather in April, I did eventually find it after passing it three times and the orange ties caught my eye. The bait was well intact and not too smelly.
Cleaning it up was a bit of a mission as some fat molecules had seeped into the layer between the outside layer and inner. I was not expecting that but bubbles indicated there were a couple of pinholes on the inner lining. I don't know from what but the outer also had a couple of holes.
Anyway, it's cleaned up, still useful and is only used for stowing damp to dry rubbish or double-bagged liquids.
Love my new Kea blanket - beautiful colors, style & functional to boot!.
Looking forward to my next mountain tenting experience, knowing I'll be cosey!
Purchased the Large Kea Stash for camping in our pod camper for our rubbish bin. It is a great quality piece of kit and works so well hanging just on the outside of the pod next to the kitchen. Thanks so much Kea. So rare now days to get such good quality. Highly recommend it.
I buy kit - a lot of kit, from various places. Absolutely love the quality and thought which has gone into the design and manufacturing.
Because I own a lot of gear I only needed the empty XL. Really versatile and has found its new home in the car.
Great product now have 2 of them for different activities. Delivers what it promises no smell, no leak and best of all compact
Such a great idea. Looking forward to using it on our 8 day hike, to keep the possums and other pests out and the rubbish contained.
Everthing thing in kit seems to be well made, useful, light weight/packable and comes in a waterproof package
Will definitely be purchasing more kea products
Great size, big enough to cover everything! My wife loves hers as well. Quality!
Great quality, it surpassed my high expectations. No more stink in the motorbike panniers. A must have for every motorcycle camper. I wasn't even paid to say this. LOL.
Straw seems OK, but the bottle is just another plastic bottle. Work well together though.
Great idea, really well made every outdoor person should have one.excelent product
I bought the straw as a gift for my wife to use for her tramping trips and it was ok, but then I got her the bottle to go with it and the two combined have made water collection and drinking so much easier for her when in the go!!
Very quick dispatch and received within days. Very well made, sturdy material. Thank you.
Super fast delivery 👌, havnt used yet but feels very very robust , it will last a long time for sure , also great to have a nz made product we have some very talented kiwis out there .great jobs guys
We finally got to use these on our Routeburn Track walk. It was so much easier just carrying this with the bottle and filling up our water along the track than having to carry a heavy bladder the whole way. Having the option of drinking directly with the straw was cool too.
My very fit tramping/hiking daughter was delighted with the beautiful unique kea cover birthday gift. She lives in Ireland so she will spread the word!
