Salop Matt Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Just as a few others have I have been sent a MK1 Pouch very kindly by: mel 3b............With the Instruction to test to destruction ! So slowly that's what I am doing, but punishment wise I want to treat it to some real life circumstances first. So first thing that came to mind was "The dog ate it".......So I attached the pouch to bailer string and wound the Jack-Russell ratter up then for 10 mins let the dog chew it and shake it and maul it ! The dog (Toby) loved this game but despite his little ratting teeth and me on the other end of the cord, very very little if any damage was caused ! Dog test passed !

Salop Matt Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Next I decided a moving vehicle test was in order..... 2.1 mile later being dragged at 30mph behind the Jimny on country roads: And still very little damage done, light scuffing to the leather and the button/stud: Still in 100% working order !

Salop Matt Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 So now its soaking in water and will be frozen over night then left out in the sun tomorrow to "season" it a little for exposure as if left over out / lost over night in the winter ! Will report back and try to come up with further ideas for testing All good so far and cant recommend this product enough and it only stands to reason that the MK2 with the improvements can only be even tougher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Morning matt, Those tests are very realistic and quite probably could happen during the life of one of the pellet pouches, itll be interesting to see how it stands up to being soaked and frozen and then baked in the sun, thankyou for taking the time and trouble to test it mate, these tests may seem a bit like overkill but its the best way to be sure that the pouches are really up to the job.

Salop Matt Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Well the soaking was done for four hours, the last hour in salt water and ive extended the freeze time untill tomorrow, then into the sun ! Then will do a soak in a oil and petrol mix, exaggerated test of it being in the back of a shooting 4x4 motor where there may be chemicals such as this in the "more used / rugged 4x4`s" (I think thats the polite term ) . Still trying to think of further tests I can subject it to ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
