Replacing my stolen gear.
Posted: Sat 01 Jun, 2013 11:23 am
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.
