I know this is a long shot but I was wondering if anyone on the forum has a Hide that they want to sell.

I would ideally want something like the Wildlife Watching Supplies Dome Hide but anything is considered as I really can't afford a brand new one at the moment.

Thanks

I have an old one, it is a bit battered but it functions and the price will reflect the condition.

Tom,

That sounds good, should match the rest of my gear :biggrin:

Do you have any more info, colour/shape/size e.t.c. Feel free to email me when you get a free moment.

hi liam

further to your post regarding hides, try looking at the wildlife studio or ultimate nature gear - look at 1 man chair hide approx £60.00/70.00, they also do a 2man chair hide

good kit roomy etc

Thanks for the link Jeff, I plan on being in the hide for a while so I don't think a bag hide would work. But the normal hides are quite cheap so might buy one of them if nothing else turns up.

cheers.

Liam I use this hide and for the money its the best there is, and it folds up very easy and fits into a backpack with straps so you can put it on your back or the front of your camera bag and off you go,really brillant http://www.stealth-gear.com/products/stealth-gear-photography-hides/one-man-photography-chair-hide.html All the best :wink: :wink: :wink: :wavey:

If you plan on leaving the hide in place for long periods time, you might want to think about making one out of plywood. I have spent a lot of money on canvas hides in the past and find that they don't last if left in place.
