Hi all,

I'm heading off to Tassie for a camping holiday. If anyone has a lightweight tent suitable for Tassie conditions I would love to hear from you. Im also in need of two sets of gaiters one boot size 8 ladies and a 10 mens (not too sure about the sizing of gaiters) would prefer both to be calf height. I would also be interested in a backpack preferably no larger than 50 - 60 ltrs that would suit walk in bush camps. Im trying to do this trip on a budget so would not be looking at spending big bucks :|

Thanks to anyone who may be able to help out :)

Obviously there is lots of equipment on the forum that may help you.

I see your location is listed as Tassie. Perhaps you should check out Recycled Recreation in Hobart? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Recycled-Recreation-Tasmania/353415111423719

I don't know anything about them other than I recently sold my old Backpack to them

I think gaiters are more about shin length than shoe size.

This shows a size chart relative to shoes but also states as a "guide only"

I find my XL ones a bit tall but ok with a size 13 boot.
My wife has Small with a size 8 foot.
