Hi guys,

I need to part with some gear:

1) SMD Gatewood Cape:
This is a catch and release. Here's the original thread:
http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/xdpy/forum_thread/102871/index.html?skip_to_post=869909#869909

I only packed it out once, found out I didn't like it. Trying to get what I paid which is $85 including shipping.

2) MLD Monk Tarp in brown Silnylon:
Bought in Feb. 2014 but only set up twice for testing, so it's pretty much unused.
Read this wonderful review and you'll understand why I fell in love with this tarp:

I still like it a lot and I think it's the most versatile 1P tarp there is. Since I camp with my girlfriend most of the time, I just don't get enough use out of it to justify keeping it.
Looking for $75 shipped.

3) Tarptent Contrail:
I bought this on Gear Swap October last year, so I'm the second user. I sell it since the solo-hiking I do usually takes place in wet & cold but bugless situations, where other tents are more specialized for than the Contrail.
The tent has been used for about 40-50 nights. Of course you can see it has been used (meaning: It's not as shiny as a brandnew tent anymore) and it has one small patched puncture, but the tent is fully functional and has lots of life left. This is not only my assessment but according to Christine aka German Tourist, a pretty much "constant thru-hiker" and probably one of the most experienced Tarptent users of all time, Tarptents withstand about a year of constant use: http://christine-on-big-trip.blogspot.com/p/what-breaks-when-and-why.html
I only have a mediocre picture of the tent, but if whished, I will try to find the time to take additional ones during the weekend.
The tent comes with the optional front pole (the sturdier version) but without stakes.
I'm looking to get $100 shipped.

I hope I can find a home for my gear :)
Have a good one!
