A friend in the trade tells me they go for 40+ usually, if in decent condition and wartime, herselfs going on ebay tonight so you may want to give it a week to maximise the scarcity value, if you plan to get rid. The last one we had I swapped it and a few more surplus bits got on carboots for a unworn NZ army issue Swanni.

And a whole load of quick release keyrings to put around my tarp so I can easily plug in a guy line of the appropriate length or type. Kind of experimenting for something to do! I may stick them on the tipi as well if they don't pop apart when tensioned. I have used these on the internal pocket loops of smocks etc so I can clip penknives, torches etc inside as this stops them getting lost.

Called into Aldi on the way back from the builders merchants having bought 5 sheets of plasterboard as well (but that doesn't count, does it cos' that's boring) So I mooched into Aldi and saw this huge black teardrop shaped lump was sat there, it was the last one and looked lonely and I remembered how comfy the one I had years ago was so I hauled it to the till to ask how much. €23... just under £20. Seemed rude not to have it at that price.

Looking forward to spending many a flopped out evening in front of the woodburner... trying to get out of the damned thing :lmao:

That dead sled is a good idea mate. Be interested to see how it goes.

Pair of unworn (they are still flat!) Berghaus goretex gaiters for £4 in The Cancer Research shop in the valley. Just what the middle son needed. Even the colours what he would have picked.
