Ah, let me check my extra tents no one bought on Gear Trade a few years back. Used for backpacking, the usual "2 person" but great for one and good for two friends. (I'm in Kirkland.) Also may have an extra Thermarest I no longer need since I now use a Exped Downmat.

Backpacking: limited to one pack at a time. Cameras: limited to as many as I can carry.

Come over and we will go through my stuff. Sure we can find something.

Cool thanks I'll b in touch..I have a couple of single 3 or 3.5 lb.. tents..they can upgrade later.. But ya I'd be interested in a tent for them! Hoping for a syl nyl.tent eventually... She has some $ to get big agnes 22oz. Airmatresses...I also have extra thermal rests for em.. I have several boots that should fit... So I think mostly tents...women's smallish backpacks for a decent price.. Cheap puffy jacket?..I can find at goodwill also I did see a great synthetic bag at 2.5lb..by big agnes (sportsman's warehouse)..for 110$.. Super nice..

Campsite at no name lake. Ready for a stormy night.

I've got a MSR Nook small 2 person tent. Very light. Selling due to knee replacement that crushed my backpacking days. I also have a MSR Hubba solo. Both of these in excellent condition. Plus an Osprey Aura 50 women's small, beige. excellent shape. Black Diamond Ergo trekking poles. 2 sets.

I was the lucky recipient of a free tent just a few weeks ago. I now have a Nemo Veda 1 in like new condition that I’d be willing to pay forward - if your friends want it, I’d settle for a small donation to search and rescue in return.

Okay, have a BA Copper Spur 1 (not HV model), used in good shape. Also have a super-tight Expedition tent that is heavier, but bomb proof, plus two no longer used Thermarests.

I have a Camelbak 24 L day pack and brand new, never used Katadyn Hiker Microfilter. I am going larger on my day back to an 30L and I got a sawyer filter from my son for my birthday. https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8034618 https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8034619
