I'm letting go of some of the stuff which currently sits in the 'when/if' part of the gear cupboard and is therefore unlikely to be used now I have both winter and summer kit that I'm happy with.
First up; a DD Frontline in excellent condition, which has been modified to accommodate the 'Karabiner' modification. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this, Oakhill Wanderer has posted a good article detailing this on his blog here:
http://oakhillwanderer.com/2011/04/01/dd-frontline-hammock-setup-inc-karabiner-mod/
The hammock comes in a stuffsac as standard, but with 2 x Oval Maillon Rapides (Cost about £4 each normally and are basically steel screw-gate alternatives to the ones shown in Oakhill's blog), and a 'snakeskin' sleeve to protect it when you put it up (usually £9). The tree slaps are made from DD's webbing (instead of climbing tape shown within the blog) which was replaced earlier this year. All in, this would cost about £66 I'm looking for £55 including all fees and recorded postage please. SOLD PENDING FUNDS
Also on offer is this Dutch 'Goretex' MVP Bivi bag. In absolutely excellent condition, even though it has been issued, I'd probably say it's never been used. These have central openings with velcro fastening, a draw-string hood and two loops at the base to accommodate a thermarest or sleep mat, thereby protecting the bivi bag itself. If you're lucky enough to find one in this condition, you're looking at £49.95 from Endicotts. REMOVED FROM SALE
Finally.....Another Dutch offering: A Field Smock (Size Large)
Unused, as I now have other jackets, and no man needs more than two olive jackets! I bought this for winter as you can button the Dutch-issue goretex/mvp liner into the smock to keep you dry,which I didn't get round to buying as its already double layered dense woven cotton and feels rugged. To give you an idea of size, I'm 6'2" and a 42" chest and its is still a touch large on me with a t-shirt, thermals and a fleece on underneath. It features four front pockets, a hem drawstring and a waist drawstring. Excellent value at £15 to your door via recorded postage and fees included.
