EISPIRATEN

All this time my asian ass was having a "white" forest experience? Good to know..

+1 for standing glissades down the Bowl.

whee!

LIES!!

Whoops. I guess I was told that because I drive a small SUV, so i have no lockable "trunk". Everything goes in the rear cargo area. For me, loaded mag near unloaded gun in back = loaded gun. I'm still not clear on how I'm supposed to keep ammunition separate in an SUV. It's all in the same...

Not only that, but if your gun is in firing condition (and I'm not sure, but even if it isn't) the magazines have to be unloaded..

So, stop your car, run to the trunk, unlock gun case or cable lock, open ammo, stuff mag, load gun, then fend off stabby hobo.

I think I just filled the cup..


MOAR!!

I hear CHANGE will get me a job, though.

Ah, the wonderful effects of "Into the Wild".

What's your shoe size? I've got some new Chameleon II Stretch's in 10.5 that don't fit me.

Eh, these strike me as dedicated "snowrunners" rather than trail shoes. They look like they'll wear pretty quickly on rock and asphalt, and not provide ideal traction for anything but non-icy snow.

Get another pair of XA's for trail and road use, homes.

Haha, shooting fireballs into your tent. What kind of idiot does that?

Oh wait, this one. 8)

+1 on some of the Euro gear. Technical clothing from Montane, Rab, Vaude, Direct Alpine, Crux, etc. Probably a bit much to ask, though.

Some other high-end N.A. gear like Westcomb or Wild Things, perhaps?

A guy can dream..

I think this story just gave me diabetes.

$60 tingle anyone's spidey sense?

Awesomeness.

Moosejaw's deal of the day looks to be a "sign up for our email list" job, but they also list it on a blog page at the time of the deal's posting, 8AM PST I believe:

Heads up, Ryan - altrec has XA Pro 3D XCR's on sale for 59.97 today:

I've got a North Face Terra 40L in "Chute Green" I could part with as an excuse to blow some money on a super technical whiz-bang pack.

I was lookin' for "ugly" and that's what Google Translate spit out.

Oh hey, a swap meet forum. That was fast.

This was a poll. These haven't been imported. Sorry.

Now it's going to be a race of forum members to be the first up there to snap a perverted picture with Baldy's Nipple.

Yeah, I was going to add those, but they don't have discreet links to their DotD pages. REI Outlet sometimes skips days, and they link directly to an item, not to a dedicated DotD. They do send email/RSS alerts though. Altrec does the same in regards to linking to an item from inventory, and their D...

XA Comp 3's? I dig mine mucho.

As far as scree..I think GoLite makes trail runner with detachable scree gaiters, but none of their models has Goretex.

It's high time for an SGMDF sting operation.

If only I lived closer..

I'd go there and eat a GIANT RARE STEAK. Giantass beer in my other hand.

Suck on that, hippies.

Hell yeah.

Make sure to cook that steak using wood from the tree they're crying over.

www.geartrade.com - looks like a big swapmeet of outdoor gear. Haven't gotten anything off of it yet, but it looks like there are some very good deals on new or lightly used gear.

You've all probably got these sites bookmarked already, and I'm too lazy to check if this topic's been done, but here goes.. www.steepandcheap.com - climbing, hiking, mountaineering, camping. Everything from clothing and footwear to packs and tents. There's been Arc'teryx stuff on there lately. www....

Like Taco mentioned, I have the REI Brenva. I'm about 5'11" and I've found it just right (I can't remember for sure, but I think I have the 65cm - when held standing upright, the spike touches my ankle). From trying it out in-store, I liked it better than the Raven (price wasn't really a concer...
