Hi all,

I'm trying to source an ERApro expedition pulk in Europe and it seems all online stores have a delivery date of 01/11/2020. Can anyone point me in the direction of a secret stash or recommend an alternative? The only similar option I can see - lightweight without an inbuilt bag - is the Aiguille Alpine trail pulk.

Thanks.

The Paris pulk is not better than the Trail. Actually, the straps on the latter is a bonus.

Sure, I have five or six orange Paris Expedition sleds sitting in a shipping container in Punta Arenas, Chile. I guess that's not helpful?

Then again, for the prices on that Aiguille page for their kit, personally I'd prefer to fly to Chile. Paris XPD sleds are around US$30 in Tru-Valu hardware stores in the US.

Have you gone onto some of the Facebook groups for polar expedition stuff? I can't believe there's not quite a few suitable plastic sleds about in the EU/UK.

In stock, in Yurp and around 60 Eur.

Unfortunately shipping might cost an arm an a leg.

Shipping is about £25, I ordered recently and so did someone else I know. No problems

yeah, they are a reputable outdoor retailer in Finland (owned by the scout organisation if I recall correctly).
