What to spend $40 on at Anaconda?

I have been given a $40 gift voucher for Anaconda but can't see anything that I either don't already have, need or can get cheaper elsewhere. Any ideas for the bushwalking side of things?

I turned 50 at Christmas, unfortunately my work mates gave me a $50 gift card from Anaconda, it took me 6 months to spend it, so I know how you feel. A few weeks ago they had 25% off Storewide, Sea to Summit products were a good buy with that discount.

Presents for other people???
You gain $40 worth of karma.
Just show something you already bought recently to the voucher giver as evidence of your use of their gift....
win win :-)

They are clearing some Merino lines.
Not great but for $40 you can get a Merino first layer bottom..
I went there for some gas today , if you use that well you can get 4x 250g canisters.
But if giving is your thing, just contact me and I will manage to spend that for you.

If you're a freeze dried eater then $40 worth of dinners? Wool socks? Beanie? A new knife not especially for walking or camping.

I seem to wander in that shop a bit and come out empty handed more often than not. I think the last thing I bought from there was one of those excellent tubey type container with the valve top. It is perfect for liquids. I take oil in mine and I have never had a leak. Not sure of the name. Something like toobs (sea to summit import them.) Yes just looked them up "go toob" by human gear.

I actually have a similar problem ($60 to spend), I am going to go down the gas & freeze dried food option - might even try the desert lines

Cheers

In Bushwalking gear? I'd get some fishing gear :)

They have Heatgear which is genuinely good for hot conditions - skintight is ugliest and best. Sea-to-summit pactap for water? Bit of a gimmick but good all the same. Food or fuel maybe?
