budget chutes

[Dan XF]

I was looking for a chute to use for a base camp and found a website for Denbigh surplus. Google it and look up their chutes. A few ripped panels but £20 inc VAT is nothing to be sniffed at if you ask me.

£20 isnt bad. You can pay upwards of £60 for a good one

Why google it? We're allowed to post links to sites like http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk/ as far as I know. Good find Dan.

Perhaps you could soak them in some tent water-proofing stuff? Just a thought

Look out £20.00 may be cheep but its for a badly warn chute with holes look at the pictures on the website. Mine was £70.00 with vat and postage on ebay.

Seems trade only but if enough people were interested then maybe a group buy could be arranged?

This one has them for between £25 to £60 and seems to sell to the general public http://www.surplusplus.co.uk/acatalog/various_parachute.html
