    Default Great surplus

    I always wondered who was selling all the good kit once the services had finished with it, looks like this company is:

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Wilderness-...2.l1513&_pgn=3

    A lot of it would have been used for Adventurous Training, think I might get myself another HH Hairy Bear and Scottish Mountain Gear rucksack!

    Wish I lived a bit closer.

    Oh heavens ..........noooooo..........oka y, I'm broke I'm not spending money, I have no room for more kit, I don't need more kit, HWMBLT and sons 1 + 2 don't need any more kit, no one's birthday's coming up, we have more than we use as it is, I've hardly been out recently, nothing is needing replaced...... but have you seen ?......

    You can go right off folk, y'know ?

    Thank you for the link.

    Those all in one wool RAF mid layers look good, but of course as I don't need any more warm things I am not tempted.

    Purely out of academic interest, anyone come across them before? If so what are they like?

    Some good stuff there.
    One thing tough caught my eye, the bedroll that was £24.99 plus postage is the same one going on the bay or Military Mart for £9.00, the one lots of us bought.
    I need an Osprey water bottle and there ones are cheep.

    I think Hugo's got the right idea........find stuff that you know you can find cheaper elsewhere and that'll put you off the rest of it.

    Maybe ?

    Added to my favourite sellers. I can see this getting expensive.

    Some pretty odd pricing there. Some of it is cheap, some of it most certainly isnt. The comment about the P&P being a shade more expensive was spot on as well.
