TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Deals to be had

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but unfortunately the Devonport Backpackers Barn is going out of business. Everything in store is 35-60% off. A lot of stuff's been sold, but there's still some good pickings to be had. I am disappointed to see them go- other than one other store in the region, they are the only place where I felt I got really good advice.
Anyhow, lots of goodies still to be had.

What a shame. I really liked that shop and the friendly staff.

In some respects we are all to blame for the demise of a real BW shop in Devonport due to us buying overseas .
Over the years I purchased a titan cook set ,two raincoats,two pairs of boots, lots of socks, expedition tent, expedition stove ,trangia + gas conversion, several bladders,one rucksack,one day pack,fleece jacket ,fleece pants, puffer jacket, thermals including the new merino type ,freeze dried food,gas .shellite,maps , books and so the list goes on and on ,always treated with respect got the best price to suit both of us and after sales service if required.
I did my bit to buy locally did you??
Me thinks it will be the old spilt milk situation when it closes

Unfortunately, I tell no idle tales. Pity too!
