I slept on something like that back in 1977-81. Not going to repeat it nowadays.

Of particular possible interest to forum readers is their range of Wilderness Equipment tarps which are well under RRP.

Edit:
Sorry everyone - just realised this sale ends at midnight tonight and probably Eastern Standard time.

Just saved over $140.00 on a Sea to Summit Trek 3 down sleeping bag.
I had been watching the Wild Earth sight for a couple of weeks and was on the verge of purchasing at an already good price. The further discount decided it for me. If not for your reminder I'd have probably forgotten about it.
Thanks again.
I'm taking off on a two week tour next Wednesday and with a bit of luck the new bag might arrive in time. Otherwise I make do with the smelly old synthetic job I've had for a while.

Its basically $100 off RRP making their "light" tarp the same price as their standard one.
I managed to score a Petzl usb battery cheap as chips from one of their ebay sales a while ago so they are a company worth watching.

Probably not as good quality as sea to summit but at about 4-7 times cheaper definitely worth it

I use one 0.9 litre titanium pot to cover all of these items bar the spice holder (zip lock can do the job) and in fact looking to replace it with a mugCheesewheel wrote:popped into kmart the other day and was surprised to find folding buckets ($5), wash sinks ($7) and a triangular plastic mess kit with two bowls and a compartmented spice holder ($5).

These are supposedly discontinued now so availability won't be improving.
Their price ranged in the $80 mark when I first was looking for them.
I posted on initially being unimpressed with the charge of this type of battery.
I did post an amendment about it being a mistake due to my interpreting the low charge warning light as an imminent loss of light.
The torch will give plenty of light well after this warning has occurred.
I just bought two of these batterys despite my initial one still offering up plenty of light.

Thanks for the tip. Hopefully they will still be available this evening, as I need to confirm the model Petzl headlamp I own first before buying.rifraf wrote:Owners of Petzl TIKKA Series

Well spotted sir... that's about what it cost me from the US when I bought mine. With the dollar down the dunny we need to take everything we can... so even though I don't need one...rifraf wrote:Owners of Petzl TIKKA Series, ZIPKA Series type headlamps might appreciate a heads up about BCF flicking off some new old stock 900 mAh Core Lithium ion rechargeable batteries for $20 each.

$15 darche hybrid 1p tent
Assuming that it isn't moth eaten this is a good buy for anyone looking for a quick assembling tent in the brisbane area
I use one from time to time and haven't had any issues with mine (issues that you wouldn't expect a single wall tent to cope with of course - IOW really cold temperatures or other conditions that will see interior condensation are pretty much inescapable for single walled tents )

I bought this and only just saw your ad. It is in excellent condition, with all the ropes and pegs. Must have been used once or twice. Can't wait to get out and use it.Cheesewheel wrote:http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/yeronga/ ... 1093034057

Actually I have and use one of these and I know these are no way as good as a self inflating model that costs 4 x the price one puncture and they are useless and not something that you can or repair on the night. Now whilst you may scoff, when tired and with a cup of HTFU it really does the job and provides thermal protection from the ground whilst being vastly more comfortable then a well prepared patch of beach sand, though indeed prepare that ground as best you can before usage.

Best to be seated when viewing as if your anything like me, the clearance prices might still induce heart failure.
