Information for bushwalkers from bushwalkers

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

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.

Does anybody know where to get YKK zippers from, especially water resistant like AQUASEAL in Australia for a MYOG project. If not, any ideas of where to get water resistant zippers

I don't have a huge amount as I got them just to test but should be enough for your project. How much do you think you will need?
