good gear doesn't have to be expensive

[LandyLiam]

My sons birthday yesterday so got him a ex-army bivvy bag, ex-armycoat overtrousers and a sprayway coat, all gore-tex and all for under £30 total  on ebay.

So good gear doesn't have to be expensive

True. Plus the official army stuff is good quality.

well the bivvy bag has an 18 inch rip in it, but its on the top and i have a spare goretex sheet i can sew on so it should kept out the worst of the weather.

In the mournes today i found an old camo tent lying beside a bin (without poles), so that'll do him as a tarp, no point in wasting expensive gear on him, it could come back in any condition, you know what these teenagers are like
