I'm planning on running some group buys for the 2014 Moot. This will hopefully get us all a discount on some useful items that we didn't know we needed as well as save on postage.
I will plan on running the group buys from May so there is plenty of time for people to sign up and for companies to deliver. I will then 'acquire' a trailer if necessary to bring it all to the Moot for distribution. Obviously I will not be making money out of these and if there is a little over spill it will get ploughed back into some mutually beneficial aspect of the Moot.
Some 'Group Buys' that I am already mulling over are:
24hr Rat Packs - £8ish at a guess
Dyneema 75 (Amsteel Blue) £35/50m or (90p/m if you really have to!)
Quality Polyester 1200kg+ Rated 25mm Webbing - £5/10m
TW Hammocks and Tarps - Whatever we can negotiate depending on order size. (2nds may be available)
Delta Ground Anchors - Great bits of kit, I'm guessing £1 each.
Jerky, Biltong and Dry Wors - Beef and Venison
Tatonka and/or Zebra Cooking Pots
US Army Gore-tex Bivi Bags with side zip - Grade 1- Used but good condition. - Less than £25
Panel Wipe (Coleman Fuel), Methanol, Methylated Spirit - by the litre
Potjie Pots
Bulk Order from online food supplier that sells near or over 'Best Before' food and consumables.
Duracell Procell Batteries and rechargables.
Quality Crushable Leather Bush Hats - £47 down to less than £30.
Sawyer water filter/purifiers - SP128 (Mini), SP129 (Squeeze), SP191 (Viruses) etc.
Heinnie Haynes - Give them a group order and ask for a significant discount and free hand delivery by them to the Moot.
Any other suggestions/wishes for categories or even pre-order interest, depending on discount level obviously, are appreciated.
