Hi,
I got a 1 pint kelly kettle. It was a bit expensive for me at £9 still its pretty much as new so I think it was worth it. Bought an Arktis chest rig as well but im not sure wether i ll use it.
A chap had an OG issue bergen but ive already got one. Loads of issue boots and combat jackets for sale too.
I agree car boot sales are great about 2/3 of my bushy gear was bought in a boot sale. Ta Ed.

There is a boot sale (mega gigantic one I think) at the top of our lane every sunday. Janie normally pops up there (I hate them).. She came back with a huge stock pot today.. Might come in useful one day, I suppose..

I prefer car boot sales to proper shopping any day of the week! Picking up tat at a bargain price is good fun. All car boot stuff goes round in circles, you buy it off of the person who bought it at a car boot sale two years ago, and one day you'll sell it too!

Anyone know of any online car boot listings?

I got one of them, I cut off the shoulder straps, and lost the bottom strap. then fitted a wider belt to the top buckles (hope im making sense) Then i opened up the back pocket (the map pocket that runs the length of it) at one end, and reinforced the stitching. So now i got a rod quiver that i can wear across my back, tho obviously only for 4piece travel rods. and when i get to whatever mark im fishing, it converts into a huge bumbag. I also added cut lengths of waist pipe, two in each of the three mag pouchs, which are ideal for holding plugs without the hooks getting all tangled up. you just hang the lures by their trebles inside the tubes. Absolutely brilliant bit of kit, and it cost me just a couple of squid at a booty.

Went car booting on sunday and picked up a set of whittling knives, a mess tin/pot set and a 12 inch bow saw.

Where's that then? The ones round here are rubbish, full of neon kids toys and not much else.

This one could be rubbish too for all I know Rhoda. Its on the top of the hill between looe and polperro..

 

[Rhoda]

Fair enough. I go to them occasionally hoping for a bargain but never seem to find one. Will probably keep trying though, you never know do you!

I saw a false leg for sale at Oldcotes car boot sale once! Like a bloke went out after losing his leg in the pub the night before, gets to Oldcotes and sees it and says "Oh, just what I was looking for!" Not likely to happen, is it?
