Gear crazy

“as in I must be ...

just ordered a Feathered Friends bag - approx $450 (OUCH)”

“That's the way! Doing your part to pump up the economy, huh?

Did you go for the PTFE lite?


I've been lusting for one for a while now.”

“no I went with the EPIC by Nextec
... mainly so I could get the bag earlier ....MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA opps down boy down hoggie buddy its just money (chuckle)”

“Western Mountaineering ON SALE www.travelcountry.com (it don't happen often)”

“came home to find my new bag had been delivered - YAAAAAHOOOOOO - looks good and feels even better - no regrets - I like it and I am going to keep it.

(BIG S.E. GRIN)

buying new gear is one heck of a rush”

“Wow!

I thought FF took months to make a bag.

Have you climbed into it yet?”

“Of course - the very first thing I did after opening the box was to change into my silk weight long johns and to climb in and try it - its a good one for me - the Ibis gives me just enough extra room to feel real comfortable. I think that the delay time is down due to the economy - so now is the time to buy.”

“I'm saving my pennys for a Gregory backpack.”

“What'cha got yer eyes on, Mr.Dude?”
