Wanted Swedish Mess Kit Stainless Steel

[MongooseDownUnder]

Hello everyone,
I have been looking for one of the above for a while and don't seem to be able to find one at least not in Australia. I am looking abroad now to get one of course I realise shipping would be expensive but I think the benefit would outweigh the cost.
Any help would be much appreciated.

cheers
Adrian

Maybe I could bribe someone to let go of theirs for something I have. Maybe a nice Drizabone jacket or something else I can get here easily which is hard to get in UK

do you have a link to a picture of the kit you mean? you dont mean the Swiss army trangia do you?

I have one in stainless that I haven't used in years. Shipping will kill you though.

Well considering buying from places like flea bay they go for ridiculous prices that might still be a good deal.

ah so it is the SAT my mate has the stainless takes a wee bit longer to boil i have 2 of the aluminium ones great kit for the price.

Even the Ali set is heavy with the stove base included. There are better options available.

Being well aware of the weight I still want one for my hiking as I am a minimalist. Not weight wise but I carry minimal equipment. I can happily fit enough for one week in a 40 litre pack in winter.

If you bought one from a UK supplier, had it posted to me, and then sent me the postage to Australia. I'd be happy to send it on for you.

Its a risky if the supplier is dodgy, but otherwise should work out.

Just got back from the east coast aus could of fetched you one bit late now I know but there is hopefully someone else heading that way could bring you one

Holy mark-up Batman! Just did a quick search and these go for ridiculous prices on e-bay. Some of the listings want over £40! Here in Sweden I can get it for about £7...

I made an inquiry with a Swedish surplus store if they ship to down under. If they do, the shipping is probably gonna be double to what the actual mess kit is gonna cost. But, on the other hand, you'd have a brand new one instead of used.

I'd be willing to to pay £7 and then double £7 in shipping. What does that break down to? $35 or $40 American? That's still about half what I'd have to pay here for an incomplete or used kit. If I weren't so lazy and anti-capitalist, I could, that price, buy several kits and sell the extras at a slight mark up, still at bargain prices, to pay for my own.

That would be fantastic! Thank you very much for checking it out, look forward to good news.
