OK Guys,

Hey Kevin as I have an over abundance of Elk Hair, among other things please put me on the list. I will PM my address to you incase you lost it since you sent those pike flies.
OK, here is the latest update.
I have everyone address finally except one person Richard Kraft, I sent Richard a PM so hopefully I hear from him soon and if not the swap box is going into the mail. I put together a mailing order and if everyone wants to do a second round I will reverse the mailing order to give everyone a second chance at the box.
Mailing order list
- Ibrb (CA)
- Jeffro (TX)
- Albasurf (MO)
- ScubaTim (IN)
- Fatman (VT)

If I hear from Richard Kraft (CA) he will be first and I will revise the order of mailing.
Simple Swap box rules
- Take what interest you from the box. The items in plastic bags are considered to be one item, take everything in the bag and replace it with like value. Items not bagged are considered individual items and replace with anything related to fly fishing of equal value.
- Please post on “Swap Box thread” what you have taking and what you have replaced it with. Please make every effort not to keep the swap box for more than a day or two before forwarding to the next person on the list.
- I have included a shipping list along with per written mailing labels with everyone address, just find the next person name on the list, peel and stick shipping label over the old address label, add postage, drop in the mail. Please leave my address as the return address so if there is any problem it will come back to me and I can send it back on it way.
If you have any question let me know…lets have some fun now
Oh!! one note, I will post everything that is in the box prior to mailing.

Just a quick question - if everyone puts in substantially more than they remove, in order to clean out their benches, then the latter people on the list could potentially have to pay significantly higher shipping costs. Would it be a good idea to have each person, in addition to posting what they remove and contribute, also post what the box cost to ship, so that if the cost DOES go up, then people can take maybe a bit more than they put in? This also will save you, popperfly, from getting back even MORE stuff to deal with at the end.

From the past swaps I have been in the box stays pretty much the same size because everyone is taking and replacing about the same amount. If you ship from the USPO they have flat rate charges, Medium box flat rate is $10.95 and Large flat rate box is $14.95 or ship the box the cheapest way you can find. For getting back more is no problem, because I was was planning on sending the swap box back around for a second chance but in the reverse mailing order. If anyone has suggestion please chime in
The 2nd time oughtta be interesting and will surely have some cool stuff…both times.
I have a few fresh cans and packages of Marlboro “Snus” if anywon down the line wants it,I get it for free when I buy my cigarettes…
