now im a full member these items are for sale or swaps. getting rid of them tae fund my trip tae Norway. prices do not include paypal fees.

First up is a Frost River Timber Cruiser pack. waxed canvas. bombproof. Used once so is pretty much brand new so havent taken pictures. info can be found here: http://www.frostriver.com/canoe_packs/timber_cruiser.html.

it comes with the waist strap and the tumpline. no woven basket. i value it at £160 posted within the uk . think this is fair as its in mint condition and your still saving an absolute fortune with postage and tax (import tax on this was £54 alone!). SOLD

Next is a pair of viking boots with a flat rubber sole. they were made by a bootsmith in europe. details can be found here: http://www.wulflund.com/costumes-shoes/footwear/viking-slavic-boots/viking-high-boots-iii.html

those were the ones i ordered but they came with a slight variation: the third toggle up has a long lace attached that you tie around the ankle instead. i preferred it anyway.

they are thick tough as nails leather, with adjustable antler toggles. the leather has a lovely grain with the usual blemishes. these boots are tough and hardwearing as i used them now and then for work boots, they even have a nick on the right boot where they stopped a kukri chopping through my leg. (left a small mark as shown in pics).

im selling them as they are ever so slightly too small. they are a size 8. so i would say a small size 8 or a slightly large size 7.

i value them at £100 posted within the uk . i remember having a 3-4 month wait for them with a fairly sizeable postage they ended up costing around £250 in the end! pics:

Just done a quick conversion online for the pack's stated 5,790 cubic inch capacity and it equals almost 95 litres. is that about right would you say Hamish?
