    They make Domex sleeping bags there onsite and have plenty of camping goodies. I picked up a sweet womens microfleece jacket for $19! I did spy tents there but not sure what sizes (werent shopping for one so didnt take any notice of them) They are open till the 24th and I think they open 9am - 4pm.
    The place is called Dominion Exporters, a.k.a domex

    Check out www.kiwicamping.co.nz ,it's good gear at reasonable cost. For those that wan't to risk 10hrs of hell in a rainstorm, buy from the "Warehouse". (where everything bent n broken.
    When your partner, and kids are ready to murder you for buying tissue paper to sleep under, you will wish you had spent the extra $100 odd dollars.
    And yes, I have owned a Wharehouse tent. F**king rubbish.

    Don't forget, you won't need the camping gear at our place, the spare bed is ready and waiting!

    the warehouse tents are pretty damn good. you need an extra tarp to put over the top, but theys are small and bike frendily

    I wanna get one but $50 is too much, i'll wait till i can get a $30 one
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    ive got a warehouse one... havent road tested it in rain yet, but when i did use it, i put the fly over the bike. my gear in the tent was fine the next day. im wanting a second fly so that i can have on the tent and another on the bike.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    You guys are about 16 months too late - the lovely Jodie and Andy were here in early 2008 and have been home from their round the world trip for some time now! In fact I got an email from Andy yesterday and a link to their wedding photos.
