He’s French and goes by “Eric the fool.” Nothing that follows could surprise you. Here’s what his jacket holds:
Quoth le fou:
“The weight is 15 kg of clothes, including 12 kg of objects : it seems heavy but actually I do not feel it when walking (I walk a lot) because it is placed all around the body and there are not many “forces” (physics law…) (except if I must climb many stairs), and also I’m used to this (maybe a little muscled now…).
Apart from friends, family, colleagues (and now TV viewers…), nobody knows that I carry all this, I mean that in the street or in public transportation, nobody notices me, hopefully ! (I’m not a clown and I have no time to waste on explanations for people in the street, I prefer to do this once for all : websites are made for this !).
The count of 1300 items can be verified on my site since I provide Excel (.xls) lists. My aim is not to tell all the world about my life, but if I tell some things, at least I don’t want to be considered as a liar… The average weight is very small (about 10 grams), simply because there are many small things that weight nearly nothing (like paperclips, pins, cards, sheets of paper, wires, elastic bands, handkerchiefs and so on) but such items are not here only to increase the count, there is only what’s necessary.” - Eric’s website, which has lists and lots more info
