Yup, it's 50% everything (that's left)

So then hands up who's Car->House->Garage has a slightly funny smell about it at the moment :) It doesn't see smoky...more like concrete dusty...

Bit the bullet and went up, through the doors about 5:15 and still managed to spend £130.  I picked up rucksack fillers really, sik sleeping bag liner, survival bag, first aid kit, maps, head torch etc.  Big purchase was a Trangia.  Cheers to Chris for taking time to let me know anything he thought was worth buying.  Well done to those who got the real big bargains in the previous couple of days.

Of the things that you folks managed to purchase does any of it have that smokey smell or any other signs of being next door to a raging fire? 

Could this be a selling point, like those jeans that are stoned washed to look older than they are or have designer rips in them?

There was a definite smell of smoke in the store but I couldn't smell anything on any of the gear. (Yet, in a few weeks time it will all smell of smoke!)

Could "camp fire smoked" be a selling point for outdoors gear?
