Flip Side from the Rocky Top

“2 Things:

1) We've all read what didn't work out. What are your BEST gear purchases?
2) I'm new to the site...who hails from the Volunteer state?”

“Oh sh!t, not another dang Vol fan.
I live in Murfreesboro Tn.
GO GATORS!!!”

“Not on your life walkindude. I bleed crimson; just happen to live in Tennessee. Roll Tide.”

“There's getting to be a pretty big bunch on TT from Tennessee. They'll all chime in by tommorrow afternoon.

As to question #1,

Pur Hiker water filter, 0 degree Down bag, Z-Rest pad, Esbit stove, Camelbac Hydration System, Kelty Tempest pack, & a Nylon Tarp.”

“Glad to hear you haven't been brain washed like the rest of them orange bleeders.
Your OK then.”

“Goto hell rocky top...---- you Tennessee!! And LSU can ramm it up theirs too!...*wow*..what hostility..i'm a confuzzed soul!

Best gear so far?...Hmm..love my kelty zen...Western Mountaineering make great bags, and my Kelty Telluride pack kicks much ass...ahh and the camelpac unbottle i stuffed in it!”

“Pocket Rocket stove, Moonstone down bag, Kelty Coyote Pack, Platypus hydration system, thermarest 3/4 ultralite...

Then there's the gear I DREAM of having..but we could be here all night..lol

Tex”

“Dang!
Already 3 Kelty packs have been mentioned.”

“And the problem with that is what?????? Looks like an alarming trend here, Dude, what are we gonna do??”

“Kelty needs to send us three a check for advertising.”

“I'm just really confuzzled over why they discountinued mine shortly after i bought it. it has the awesome compression technology..a great frame/sheet system. The gopherhole..it's top loading and front loading (big plus for me). floating lid/daypack...perfect size for weekend/week trips..i just don't get it”

“Never regestered my votes (hanging chads): Gregory pack, Snowpeak gigapower stove, Thermarest, Asolo boots.”
