When the cost of buying exceeds your disposable income I would say, I've been in that situation a lot lately, trying to decide between Hi-Fi or walking isn't easy when you are passionate about both.
It's also too much if you can't pick it up and carry it

That's OK, I didn't mind scrubbing them whilst cleaning my own gear last time.
But I may charge in the future.

Yeah right. Thought they weren't as bad as I thought. Thanks. They need some repairs so don't hold back next time ;)

I have to get my own wearable again first. There is nothing I've found so far to reattach soles that lasts in Tasmanian mud.

I have a Coleman exponent tent and a Nallo. Spend a few nights in them both in stormy, rainy, humid conditions, and you'll see pretty quickly why you shelled out that extra $600.

Having said that, I have nothing but respect for my Coleman Exponent. It's a well-thought-out tent, and it's only real drawback is that it is way too short. (I'm 6', and I pretty much touch front and back if I stretch out.)
All good things are wild, and free.
