Hey guys, I'm looking to buy some camping gear -- North Face sleeping bags to be exact, which part of Melbourne has all the camping shops together, or has the sweetest deals on North Face stuff so I can score a good deal? Is it Little Bourke Street or somthing? The North Face flagship store is rather pricey.

Any sales in early Feb or end Jan?

MMm

[Tyro1]

why does it have to be north face?

just go to kathmandu when they have a 50% off sale.

kathmandu however has not collaborated with supreme

[Pandemonium]

yeah i think i need a bike too just to make myself do some sort of physical fitness.

fuck fixed gears (i'll probably get one though)

[bboysdontcryy]

Was thinking of North Face because their sleeping bags are really good, not to mention they have lifetime warranty for them. Going to use them instead of getting a quilt so wondering where's the best place to get 'em from. Or for that matter, any street which sells such sleeping bags might be good. Can scout for other brands.

bbdc- mitchell's and aussie disposal are both on elizabeth st between lonsdale and latrobe, they are probably your best bet for outdoor equipment.

damn I miss going to the gym, I go on most weekdays while I'm at uni. over the exam period and while I've been doing vac work I'm lucky to go jogging for half an hour a week

[Tyro1]

I've been jogging 6 days a week, but havent been today, too damn hot...

it also helps having the free time to do it!

[bboysdontcryy]

That's pretty near University of Melbourne and Barry Street isn't it. So their products are marked down than flagship stores.

Gym. Man. Needa go sign myself up.

[DJI]

haha, I wish I had the time for that right now. waking up at 6 to get ready for work and getting home by 5:30-6:00pm leaves me with little motivation though. I'll get back into it when uni starts again though

Where do you gym at? Uni? Which uni do you go to anyway?

[DJI]

yeah, the RMIT gym. I signed up when it was really cheap, only $35 per month and there was no joining fee

Wha? You planning on jumping into a sleeping bag and hopping into bed during winter?

[Pandemonium]

fuck i think melb gym is like 500 or 600 per year. ffs.

[DJI]

somewhere like fitness first will set you back over 1K per year, even with discounted student fees...

[feather]

Melb Uni gym suppose to be one of the better ones though.

[aloysius]

elizabeth in general is best for camping shit, north face, HH, Kathmandu aare all either on it or right by it not to mention numerous camping stores, and up little bourke is good as well. Mitchells on exhibition has good cheap camping shit as well

[Pandemonium]

yeah i would totes go to melbourne uni but i'm kind of reluctant to train and tram for like an hour or so just to work out for an hour and a half.

maybe i'll do it prior to lectures.

[bboysdontcryy]

Quite right I am. Ha. You'll be surprised mate, that some sleeping bags are really comfy.

[feather]

I've slept in sleeping bags, I just think it's kinda rough to do that in your own home on your bed. You're intending to use it outdoors too??

[DJI]

yeah, I go in the morning before lectures. it wakes me up and keeps me going for the day, otherwise it takes me a long time to get fired up.

[Tyro1]

never really liked Gyms that much... prefer to run outside... NEED a new pair of running shoes though, must do that soon

[DJI]

yeah same but there aren't really any parks near RMIT and I don't really like the idea of running around the city itself. then there is the issue of showering afterwards...

I've been running around my neighbourhood on the weekends, I'd like to do more but I'm too lazy atm haha. my asics are still holding up alright though

[Tyro1]

I've got flat feet, so I'm going to go and purchase some old man Brooks!

[DJI]

alice euphemia has 25% off beat poet and friedrich gray atm, not sure how much stock they have but it might be worth taking a look if you're in the city.

[Pandemonium]

yeah i'm not a shower (read SHOWer) so i can't really go into a public shower.

:3

shitsux. there better be shower cubicles.

[DJI]

haha, yeah I wouldn't have joined my gym if there weren't shower cubicles. communal showers are mad homo

[Tyro1]

never nudes?

how you ever going to fly to the land of the jawn, and soak it up in an onsen then?

[DJI]

haha, might have to make an exception when in Japan but only if they're unisex

fuck I hope our dollar has made something of a recovery by october, need to cop more jawns for my money...

[Tyro1]

are you going in October? I'm trying to plan a trip to NY or Japan for the end of the year...

[DJI]

yeah, currently planning to have a week in tokyo and kyoto in october. any particular reason you heading to NY or Japan, or just having a (shopping) holiday?

[Tyro1]

just holiday really... either place is awesome, and my gf has never been to either
