[Adl SA] Wanted Easton Stakes and Lightweight Uncoated Nylon

[Maelgwn]

Wanted:

6 Easton Stakes (either size - called Nano and Backpacker on Moontrail)

Also some (a little bit about 2 yards) lightweight uncoated Nylon for a MYOG project. (e.g. 1.1Oz Uncoated Ripstop)

Should be able to get the uncoated nylon from Spotlight (if you have them in SA).

[Maelgwn]

OK sweet, might try that. I vaguely remember seeing a sailing shop selling it in Aus as well, but can't remember which.

much heavier than that ; closer to 2.6oz, not bad stuff tho.
look for ends of rolls and always ask for a decent discount if there is less than 2m of the roll left

I am still looking, didnt find any that would suit at Spotlight ...

Bought some recently at Spotlight in the city. Had to hunt though, the rolls were buried. Cost was $8 something per metre. They had black, pink and a couple of other colours, perhaps yellow. Which store did you go to? I also tried Lincraft but they didn't seem to have anything suitable. They did have some heavier outdoor nylons though.

Sorry I meant Lincraft (found the Taslan but any lightweight nylon). Would really prefer the lighter weight stuff if possible.

Well, I bought 4m. It weighs 418g. No idea how to relate that to Oz or whatever the measure is.

Saw the taslan too, but no idea what I was looking at Spotlight is real close to Lincraft in the mall, next building east...

Bump, still looking for both things, but mainly the pegs.

Moontrail has them in stock, $2.09 a piece. They also have the nano (6") version. They'd be here by now...

I've got some but you can't have them

[Bluegum Mic]

Hmmm. Let me check how many I've got in my peg bag. I must admit I mostly use my groundhog/y stakes and needle stakes though i do like my eastons for tough ground. As for nylon I've got a whole heap of woodland cammo coming. If I've got any left overs after I finish my underquilt I can let you know. I've got a small piece of silnylon left (yellow) but I don't think it's 2 yards worth.

[Bluegum Mic]

Right I've got 4 nine inch long backpackers and 4 six inch long nanos. Id want to keep 2 (don't care which type) but if your interested message me and Im sure we can organise something.
