Once an item is sold, found or thread is no longer needed we move it here. These maybe helpful for historic reasons.

Hi All
Me and my girlfriend are off to do the overland in January this year (we're currently in VIC).
We are looking for recommendations as well as secondhand gear to purchase to do this trip.
We are looking for:
tent - recommendations welcome, though thinking potentially Mont Moondance/Nemo Dagger/MSR Hubba.etc
Mats - no idea, any lightweight mats
sleeping bags - the overland recommends -10c again, any recommendations welcome
pants - medium mens/14 womens something goretex/waterproof.
As you can tell from my post, we're absolute rookies though I've hiked patagonia before and want to get into it more.
That said, I'd love to buy some good quality secondhand items and can't afford spending thousands of dollars.
Thanks all!!
Emile

I have two down sleeping bags that my wife and I used on the Overland a little while ago that we have not used since - apart from keeping legs warm while watching the TV!
They are ~1998 Summit 'Savanna' 750 - 3+ season rating - bought new from Paddy Palin.
Still loft very well and I was considering selling them on this site in 2018.
I would be willing to sell both for $300.
100% duck down - 600 loft - made in Australia by Alpine Concepts.
If you are interested I can weigh etc. and supply photos to your email - this site isn't letting me upload photos for some strange reason.
