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.

IS this website trustworthy?

Hello, this is my first time buying a tent online so I don't really know what websites you can trust. I have been looking at this one which looks valid, but I am not to sure, this is the website
http://www.amazon.com/MSR-05143-Hubba-T ... =msr+hubba

Amazon is one of the largest US based online merchant. Definitely trustworthy if they are willing to ship it to you here in Oz. Sometimes due to contract restrictions, certain brands are not permitted for export.

Successful troll is successful.

Good luck getting an amazon vendor to sell MSR to Australia.

BushWalkerNumber1utube,
I would not trust a site named after a belligerent female.
It will be a24 hour pop up type buseness that advertise a cheap price then take your money and run.

As for the other suggestion , be careful, it is probably meant to be spelled Go Ogle, so possibly one of those dodgy pay per minute sites.
(shame on you GPSGuided for suggesting that)

Well, you can't be too careful and just trust anyone.
As soon as I get my money transfer from Nigeria I will start a Web Site dedicated to unmasking shady deals.

BTW, I too have a video channel on me tube , ( Franco Darioli) , nothing really interesting there but very soporific.
Better than taking sleeping pills and definitely non addictive .
Come to think of it is kind of subtractive because you are bound to lose some brain cells watching it.

I'm not too sure I agree with you Franco, I trust youtube to tell were to buy quality equipment.

Take this video for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb_hqexKkw8

So much better than having to follow written instructions and they even tell you exactly where to put the CCV.

He would still be way ahead buying this, getting sent to myus.com or shipito.com and on-freighted.

Amazon is awesome ! They have thousands of things that you don't want, and you're welcome to order any of them.

They also have lots of quality items that you do want : but you can't have those….

Given how those forwarding companies charge, one needs to be careful. Sometimes with a good local sale, the extra costs may not be worth it. Do your calculation carefully.

Did you try that rock creek website, they may not sell to Au either? You can buy these from the UK as well and the shipping is usually cheaper.
..And they're Green! (also)
