Hopefully this won't be regarded as spam. My friend and forum member @Ted_Lancaster has designed what I think is really a great product that deserves t0 succeed and which I think will appeal to a lot of people on here - bike packers, day trippers, randonneurs, campers, festival goers, hikers, and anyone else that can use a brilliantly designed, environmentally friendly, light weight fold-away cup. It's not hard to imagine @hippy, for example, slaking his considerable thirst from a Shimcup after he has hauled his slender frame over a humpback bridge.
I've seen and used the Shimcup myself and it's kind of magical; you'd never think it would work the way it does but it does.
Ed's at the fundraising stage - he needs money to scale up and begin production. I've linked to his website and twitter and to his indiegogo.
Thanks for reading and I really hope that a lot of you see how clever and superbly designed the Shimcup is and want to invest.
