    How's your new place going? You mustn't be long until you get your GSP from broadbents too aye?
    When you get freed up we should go for a hunt

    Just bought a domex bushlite which should do the job. Anyone had any experience with them?
    Was looking at a fairydown scorpion that was brand new and only $300 but missed out.

    You sure about that model name ? On the tightlines website I can only see packlite and bushmate models ?

    If like me you are a bit concerned about loss of insulation when damp gets into a down bag, you may be interested in this.

    Not sure if any NZ supplies yet, but a bloody good price ex states.

    FCO have some pretty good gear. Got a black wolf summer weight from their parent company while in australia and they do have some very good quality stuff and reasonably priced and have a club card that you can get very good discounts with.

    I am amazed anyone buys a thing from this outfit (FCO). I have yet to see anything in there at a price even close to reasonable. They would make HnF blush.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
