[SOLD]Anyone want old leaky tents?

[Drew]

I tried to get rid of these ages ago with no luck. Moondog expressed some interest in the Eureka but never collected it. Now they have to go as I'm moving house soon. Seems a shame to bin them - I'm sure they can be revived or at least used by kids for backyard camping! Pickup in Brunswick (Melbourne).

Salewa Micra. One man or small two man. Not sure of the weight but quite heavy for its size. Pretty sure it leaks, but maybe with some treatment and seam sealing it could be waterproof again.

Eureka tunnel tent. 3 man, dual entry. Around 20 years old. Was a good tent once! The fly material on this isn't in great shape and I don't imagine it's waterproof anymore. Maybe if we ever get any rain in Melbourne I'll put it up for a test. I'm a little tempted to keep it for snow camping...

Last and definitely least, a cheapo Doite purchased in Argentina years ago. It weighs a tonne, with fibreglass poles and a plasticky tarp like bathtub floor. Can't believe I lugged it around in Patagonia. Actually, the Salewa's been to Patagonia too! These are experienced tents! One of the poles is broken (hence the internet sourced photo below). Maybe someone can do something with it?

[Moondog55]

Thanx Drew
The Boss is mad at me tho

[Drew]

Uh oh. Will it help if you tell her that you nearly brought home 3 full tents but only ended up with 2 tents and a set of poles?

I had a good look at that old Caddis, Eureka made incredibly good tents in those days and I'm one who had no problem with those HD 4 oz floors. As you said the inner is in very good condition but the fly is going to need a complete re-sew of course [ hoping Cecile is going to help there] as new flys haven't been available from Eureka spare parts for a long time obviously. Also luckily I have spare pole sections of the right length here too from the Wild Country Lanson which died years ago
