Replacing my stolen gear.

Last week I came home to find my house had been burgled while I was out surfing - lost 3 of my beloved surfboards, my pushbike, my x100 and my gear.
I was leaving that afternoon for a three day walk in the Walls so had my gear packed and ready - and they just picked it up and left.

So I am in the market to replace this all soon. Here is a list of what I am after - if anyone has some gear laying around they don't use I'd be happy to take it - even if it is damaged- I'd rather repair some cheaper (but useable) gear than spend $1000's replacing my stolen stuff.

Tent (2 person, 3-4 Season)
Pack (I used a 65-75L)
Pack Liner
Gaiters (both short and long sizes)
Thermals (I'm a medium sized bloke, lost 3 lots of tops and bottoms)
Cooking gear (trangia and pot/bowl)
Water bottle
Warm clothes (fleeces that fit under rain jacket - size M)
Compass
First Aid Kit
Wide brim hat
Sleeping mat

If you have any of this gear suitable to use in Tasmania - even if it needs a bit of a repair job - I'd be happy to buy it from for a decent price... I had big plans for some challenging winter walks and I'm not letting a bit of inconsiderate thievery stop me!

Cheers.

Hi there danny danny.

So I read your post, sounds annoying. Anyway I have been trying to get rid of some gear for a while and I actually have quit a lot of what your after. Here is a list of what I have, we can cut a deal and as I live in Adelaide too, we could just meet up, or you could drop by. I live in Westbourne Park (Mitcham)

I have:

80L Pack, Caribbe Boulder.
US GI closed cell mat.
Highlander 50L pack liner.
I have a Trangia set, 2 pots/bowls, frying pan and the burner/wind protector and handle gripper.
I have a brand new Merino wool base layer long sleeved shirt I bought just last week, but I have never felt good in wool. "Large, but very tight on me, and I am only a large"
I also have a one man tent, with plenty of extra room for gear, it's coleman, but it is one of their better/upper quality tents. I will get you more details on that if you need. It's very nice, I just go Hammock camping now.

Let me know what you think. I could get these to you within the same day of purchase, you could pay cash... etc. I am really just wanting to get rid of them all and so would be willing to give you a good deal. So let me know what you think. I bought all of these items for just over $500's but am looking closer to $300 for the lot. That is pretty much the Trangia, and the tent for free. Let me know if your interested. Cheers.

I also have a North Face fleece too. It goes with a Goretex outer shell, but the shell is at my parents who are currently overseas, so won't be getting that back till Aug. Cheers mate.
