Just a thought, with the Christmas season comming up, New Girl needing gear, & the fact that lots of us have gear we never use anymore, what do ya say we all pitch in and send her some gear we got that's collecting dust. I know we could all pitch in and her get outfitted even if it's just some small piece of gear.
I'll look through my old junk........er... I mean gear and see what I got.

How big of a pack are you looking for NG?

.............But first, NG has to promise she's gonna get out in the woods and use the stuff.

I'll send you the "claws-of-death" pack for nothing if you'll pay the shipping.





Nah...that would be mean.

Great Idea dude! I just did a quick inventory, and have a Naglene bottle, a water bottle, a Coleman poncho and some parachute cord that I'd be willing to part with at no cost. I'm sure I can find a few more things if I look hard enough.

If tekapo sells us his bags we'll have two sleeping bags she could choose from.

Wow, I bet there's actually a LOT of people on here who could use gear and don't necessarily have a lot of money. What about them? Tis the season to be jolly, lets spread out the focus and ask who ALL might need gear and be hurting for funds now. :-)

kewl.. instead of a ToysForTots drive.. where the HellzAngelz drive up on Harley's... we could do a GearForGuyzNGirlz and all show up with our Patagonia and North Face stuff.

I'd give up ANY of my gear for chewy's address.

hehehee!


Actually, I don't have much surplus. How's about a foam pad?

lizs has a good idea. This seems to be taking on a good tone. Maybe we should organize something where we could donate to a cause or other cash straped TTer's.

Holy Mac N' Cheese!
Thanks Walkindude! You guys are like the nicest people ever on the web. Hell the nicest people ever in the world. Thanks so much. Lizs is right, I bet there are a whole lot of cash strapped TTers. Thanks!

I got a franklin stove, yes it may weigh several hundred pounds but if newgirl packs it then I will stay warm.
