Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

Speaking as a chap with an unhealthy predilection for kit-list spread sheets - I blame Louise for this; she started me on it - I found this wonderful post from Challenger James Boulter well worth reading.

Reducing my base weight by 20lb*

So - What's your BMPI?

You can calculate your BMPI by simply adding your starting pack weight (including food and fuel etc) to your naked weight and using this tool to work out the number:

NHS BMI Calculator


My all-up 'Starting Challenge' BMPI is 26.5







Re: Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

An unhealthy 27.5 - apparently I need to get out more.

Or buy a lighter tent.

Much lighter tent?

Re: Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

Just tried the BMPI!

Not impressive numbers at all, it seems I will only have enough weight allowance for a toothbrush and a packet of twiglets

Just popping out to buy some more drill bits

Re: Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

Our speak-your-weight machine at the Crook Medicarama won't tell me how much I weigh. It just says "One at a time, please" Am I just big-boned?

Re: Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

Phew! It's not just me then!

Re: Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my BMPI, as long as I can grow 7 inches taller by a week on Friday.

Re: Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

Hmmm. It seems I need to go on a diet AND drill holes in my spoon.

Re: Drilling holes in your spoon? Try James' BMPI test!

Drilling holes in your spoon is an effective way of dieting.

Go for it.

Why do that?
Take a b****y fork.
And eat soup.
