Does anyone have a bivi bag FS, I was looking at the Alpkit Hunka (or XL) but they're sold out and I've got a trip weekend after next.
Also interested in a 3m x 3m tarp if there's one going?
Cheers,
Andy

Pretty sure I've got a standard Hunka, might also have a 3x3 DD tarp ... I shall go and have a look.

Thanks all, I'd be interested in the standard Hunka if it's available, how much do you want for it Stu?
If not I'll keep an eye on the Hunka XL on eBay.
Cheers,
Andy

Okay, I have a green Hunka. Doesn't appear to have had much if any use ... how about £25 delivered? If you fancy it paypal £25 as a gift to
stuart@bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk and let me have your address, it can go in the post tomorrow.

I've just found a second one*. Same deal as above if you fancy it.
*I really must have a proper sort out.

ARGH, thanks Stu, but my girlfriend oversaw the post and turns out she has ordered me a bivi bag after I had a moan the other night.
Thanks, hope someone else can take it/both of your hands!
Do you still have the tarp as may be interested in that?

That'll be in another box - I'll go and look in the morning.

Yes Shawn - There were two, Robert's having one but Andy isn't having the other, so if you'd like it, it's all yours.

In the post today.

Aye, it's green and on its way today.
Sorry Andy, just had a good rummage and the only DD tarp I can find is an XL which is massive. Worth looking at the LOMO 3x3 tarp, very good value and similar to the DD.

Both gone I'm afraid. Let me go and have a dig and see if I have another.

You're kind of in luck - I have a red one, same as the others (only red) and same deal should you like it.

Would be very interested in your red hunka should the other person decide it's not for them.

Sorry but I think Max is having it. The Goretex bag Bob mentioned for sale eairlier would be a good buy.

Thanks a lot. Do you think it would be a good equivalent to the hunka? I've read really good reviews of the alpkit bags.

I do.
You need to remember that the Hunka receives good reviews (and they are good bags) based partly on price when they're compared to more expensive bags. Bob's Goretex bag would have likely cost 4x what a Hunka does.

Thanks -that's really useful. Think he said it was event rather than goretex? My experience with event is limited to jackets and I've found it to be pretty good - any idea how well it works in bivvy bags?
