  For any MYOG people out there:
  I just had an order delivered from https://www.adventurexpert.com/, they are based in Slovenia so postage costs a bit but it arrived in 6 days and I didn't pay any vat or duty (€40 order and €12 shipping).

  They have quite a lot of things I've struggled to find in the UK, mainly double sided zipper sliders (used on tent doors). Knock off Voile nano straps for £2 are also very useful.

  Thanks, trying to tell myself I should save the cash and just use my current blb rack.

  We hung out with Alan in Mexico City, he had a good perspective on safety and risk.

  In general tourists aren’t a target in rural Mexico but unfortunately if things go bad they can get very bad. When we were there the risk felt very very low and we had no issues.

  lol, we didn’t even realise about travel advisories and insurance validity until someone told us just before we left Mexico. I’m glad we were ignorant…

  Without trying to minimise the situation in Mexico - all Mexicans will warn against going to the next village/town/city/state. Given the history it’s not surprising people are cautious but also you need to read between the lines a bit.

  Enjoy the mainland, it’s amazing. If you don’t fancy the Trans Mex route between CDMX and Oaxaca (which is hilly af) a friend from CDMX gave us an alternative route. PM me and I can share the .gpx
