Just hoping that I can make it.

Nice to haves
Says Winch ‐ 9000lbs. Lol good joke when you cant find one in INDIA!

@yamaniac: Its not a joke. If you intend to acquire one, you will get it in India. But at what price is the question. Winches are available but are exorbitantly priced. So one need to search hard or save hard

Hi Khan,

Where did you get thermal mat for the Tent ? How much did it cost? Is it the same as the Sleeping Pad on Ozone website?

. .. Not thermal mat Inder. It's a thermo-foam mat. You can get it easily in 'upholstery shops'. 16mm think one would cost you approx Rs 120/- per meter. 12mm one would cost you approx Rs 95/- per meter.

It's the same as shown in the ozone website.

Ozone also has one more variety for ~350 for 1 mat (it looks more chic and sophisticated than the black thermo-foam mat).
