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.Re: Runners for Tassie Walking

[quote="CasualNerd"]I've been running in a pair of Salomon GTX Pro 3D and they're amazing !
These are the most common TRs out there...so many in Tassie and NZ and they seem to be good for wet grass but once it comes to real wet, the users aren't as well protected as they first thought. Anyway, good to see another person converted to runners

Yep, and someone had a pair fall apart on a single (iirc) WA walk, looked like typical US/Chinese quality.. high on tech low on tough!!

Just to add that the Salewas might be similar. Super comfortable, great on rock (the full lacing is definitely the go) but looking like dry country construction. Used them for abt 2 weeks walking and the sides are abraiding, the rubber glue starting to lift. Its ok if they lasted a summer per pair but thats not likely i'd say. Perhaps the Europeans also make the most durable runners (as well as boots), we'll see.
