I had a friend bring me back a proper potato masher from Canada. I'm luck, I order from companies in the States like Amazon.com, have it sent to a relative and he EMSs it to me in anywhere from 6 to 12 days. If it was legal, I would have a suitcase full of pistols, disassembled rifles and ammo brought to me from my stateside gun collection. Anyone know if bow & arrows are legal to import?

If anyone could smuggle a good shrink over in a suitcase, there is lots of work in Sailorman's home.

After much searching we found reasonable mashers in the Japanese two-buck shops.

I heard the US has some powerful edibles: cookies, candies, and butter. It’s been nearly two decades since I had a good tote of grass and I’ve never tried edibles. A luggage full of those would give me a long deserved vacation from my worries, but who could bring that from the states.

Other than that I’d like to bring all my bowyer and fletching equipment, but someone mentioned on the forums that bows are illegal in KOW. Also, I don’t think I could find the right adhesives for the woods and the humidity would be a problem in the lamination and maintenance process. I could fashion good bamboo arrows if I could find the right type of bamboo.

I have fond memories of tree stumping and target field archery out in nature with my buddies. I guess those days are over when I get to Sihanoukville and PP? It's a great past time for older folks taking their families and friends out in nature target shooting. If anyone has any information on this it would greatly appreciated. :)

Or information on the other stuff would be cool too.

I dont understand why u do without, plenty of good smoke in SHV and make ur own butter/cookies.
