Just wondering how may of the younger members will know what this is.

Is that a moonball for the moondog??

I'm going to wait a while before posting the answer, but it isn't a "Moonball"

You sure?

Its obviously a toast rack, der!

Some kind of genitalia torture device maybe?

No, it doesn't look at all like my ex.

Maybe a device for delivering a suppository?

Whisk out of a shaker cup for a protein shake.

Is it an egg guard?

No, thats way too boring.

Is it the head of an old-style egg-whisk?

I'm not sure if putting an egg in that thing would be boring, ILUVSWTAS.

Lol, hmmm you may be right. Especially if you put an egg in it then put it in one of your walking buddy's packs. Then it would be awesome.

Don't give me ideas

Ha! Probably be worse than the rocks that occasionally find their way into some of our packs from time to time....

Seriously now...

It looks like some type of spring device - but I can't see it working as a tensioner, and I can't see a reason for the bellow in the middle.

How a bout a hint?

A hint, but that would be too easy. Hmmm.

Some kind of light weight bucketbong?

Stainless steel mixer ball for making lump free milk from Full Cream milk powder, had this for a long time. They came in a kids "Make-A -Shake" in the early 80s

They are apparently more common than you might expect...

Nice one, ILUVSWTAS.

Not rare and i didn't know they were still being made, but I think it's cool that something so simple has lasted this long and has done a great job .

I read the thread o milk powders and wondered why no-one mentioned this little widget as the solution to the problem of getting FC milk powder to dissolve easily.

I just had a look at the instructions on my milk powder, full cream , :
add 1.3 cups of milk powder to 2 cups of cold water and mix And I think this is the best way to get lumps....
What I do is to add a lile bit of water (tepid works best for me) to the milk powder , mix then add more water.
(With a fork (or my long spoon in the bush. The fork works best)
Basically I make a slurry and then keep diluting till it looks right...

Just put water into 250ml nalgene bottle top up with milk powder - to taste, shake until mixed, it doesnt take much shaking. Can carry it for the day for brews as well.

What you see in the picture is my "Dedicated" milk container, 500ml decor ( why spend $10- when $4- will do the same job?) The little gadget makes mixing the milk so much easier and if I mix it double strength lasts me most of the days needs.
I just wash out an give a Bi-Carb soak at the end of each trip, I actually prefer the Decor to Nalgene for this purpose

Can you get a titanium version to save a few grams??
