“I love doing it!

Making people happy is fun!”

“I'd give away my Y2K scare filter bottle, but don't think anyone would get much use out of it... How about my wife? Can someone use a wife? Wouldn't even have to pay shipping.”

“Ya how old?

8)

LMAO!!!!!!”

“You should have been my friend when I left AK. He's got a SD stretch dome tent, fishing gear, canoe......

Mine to use whenever I go back. ;-D”

“I would very much like to get a canoe!

8)”

“i got 1 last year.mike, prowler's got a canoe too. we'll have to go out this summer”

“That would be great!

We need to plan something.

8)”

“We have a 1960 something grumman fiberglass 17'4" canoe. Bought it for $225 18 months ago. We plan on getting out more this year.”

“That sounds like you got a good deal on that birch!!!!

I am going to start looking around for a small 2 man one so it can fit on top of my car!

I hope!

8)”

“Box on the way, should be there in a couple of days.”

“I still have that Lowe Alpine, Sirocco Elite 70+15 that I would loan for an extended period of time (like six years or till it wears out. Nice women's internal frame. You pay the postage, keep in touch so I can get it back.”

“It sure does feel good when someone is nice to you.

Thanks for the backpack for my son Crazy Mike!!!!!!!!!!”

“Somebody mentioned that you might need a backpack. This Lowe Alpine would probably be good for you!

Don't wait! This is the current model that is probably the closest. It is seven or so years old, but very lightly used.

Lowe Alpine

Contour III

FRAME: 61cm/24
VOLUME: 70+15 ltr (4,300+900 cu.in.)
WEIGHT: 2.7Kg/6lb”

“To the fastest bidder.

No more backpack unless it doesn't work out for the bidder.”

“Its good to see people giving away free gear!

8)”

“I've been doing it for years, just started on the internet though. MSR Waterworks going from NM to TN and backpack on loan to NYC from NM. The is internet cool! No more dust on this gear.”

“Good deal dude!!!

“Alright, my turn. After getting my new sleeping bag, I have one that I will give away. The bag is in great shape, slept in it four times. Here is a link to it off of ebay, which is where I bought it from.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1830086491


It IS heavy, but good. I'd like it to have a good home. First come, first served. You pay only shipping. If interested, please email me at:

rderminer@hotmail.com”

“Lagtis, the heavy factor might be a real problem for me. I'm small and nervous about my pack weight as it is. How heavy is heavy?”

“It's 5 1/4 lbs. My sister has the same one and she carrries a pack weight of 25-30 lbs. It's her heaviest item. Maybe you or some one else could use it for just kickin' around or car campin'.”

“laqtis, if newgirl doesn't want it I'll gladly take it off your hands. I need a 0 degree bag for winter sierra trips. My current 20 bag has kept me in the lower elevations during winter.

I'll email ya :)”

“Laqtis, first, sorry I spelled your name wrong. I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes! LOL!

Thanks for the offer, but it sounds like Pantscandy can use it sooner. Go for it Pants!”

“"I'll be giving out Pants Candy on halloween"

--Howard Stern”

“Thats cool that you are doing that laqtis!!!!

8)”

“Thanks Newgirl! Now if I can just convince laqtis to let a guy named Pantscandy sleep in his bag... LOL.”

“I hope you people keep your eyes open I may be haveing some gear to be giveing away soon!!!!

8)”

“Easy, Pants! LOL!!

Cool, it's yours. I'm at work right now, so I will email you back either later tonight or tomorrow. I hope you put it to good use!”

“Backpacker Magazine just sent me a free hat for participating in a survey about favorit water ways... It will be in the october issue. Free gear is the best!”

“Pantscandy -

I emailed ya about the bag and it got bounced back to me. Send me another with address and such and I'll get it out to you ASAP!”

“I have two backpacks to give away free.

(1)Eddie Bauer-5500 ci.
(2)Camp Trail Paragon 2-5000 ci.

They need a home!

8)”

“Dude! I have a friend who wants real bad to get into backpacking, but has no $$ to get started- He has some stuff, but a pack would save his backpacking life- If there's no one else out there who wants one, I'll take one for him!”

“CN you got it.

There is one left!

8)”

“Did you get my email? This guy was talking about going for the higher end stuff, spending big money he doesn't have- When he uses this pack, he'll see that you don't have to pay like $400 for a comfortable pack- I'm sure he'll get many, many miles out of it like you did- Thanks again, Bro.”

“No problem dude!Yes I did!

All TT'ers there is one pack left!

Get it while you can!

8)”

“I only possess a Kelty Coyote 4500, and a sleeping bag. I literally have no other gear. I was sharing stuff with a friend of mine. I can't afford to spend a heck of a lot, but I had heard thru the grapevine that you might know about some deals for the stuff I'm needing. Which, is everything.

Just to give you an idea of what I've been looking into: REI Half dome plus 2 and it's footprint, a pocket rocket, a sleeping pad....whatever kind, and just simple stuff. I'm not asking for these specific things, I'm just letting you know what kinds of things I was looking at.

Thanks for any help you might lend me......or anyone else for that matter!”

“I will do my best to help you out ok!

No problem I am on the case!

8)”

“This is so cool I have found happy homes for the 2 packs and it makes me feel so good to give my gear away free of charge.

I hope they make everyone happy.

8D”

“I've got a full length ridgerest and full length thermarest backpacker ultralight. Both are not cushy enough for my big bones and aging joints. Let me know if you are interested.”

“You have my interest......how can I see what they look like here? Is there a site I can go to, to see them both?

Thanks a TON CMB! I greatly appreciate it all! Seriously! :-)

Humbly yours......”

“this is probably the closest current item to the Ultralite

REI listing”

“and

Ridgerest”

“Is there any $$$ of money you want to spend on new gear?

Tent?
Stove?
Water Filter?

Let me know ok.

8)”

“Pathman.....did you get my email?”

“got it.”

“Is the ultralite still available Pathman?”

“For whatever reason....I can't get my profile to change....just take out the http: stuff and you can email me directly.

The $$ I can afford isn't a heck of alot right now. My "dreams" include: REI Half Dome Plus 2 w/footprint; an Exped downfilled airmatress, a pocket rocket and stuff to go with. Like I said... those are my DREAMS. I'm sure in time I'll get them...but anything similar will do just fine and dandy too. Send me a list of what you have and the price tags attached, and I'll get right back to you.”

“Ok the pocket rocket is a great stove I have one and I love it.

As far as the tent goes I will look around for something in the same range as that tent.

Send me a email ok.

8)”

“Miss Opie, if coyote doesn't want the ultralite, its yours.

PS, I think the Ridgerest has a small piece torm out of one side (4" x 3"), that makes no difference if you put it by your feet.”

“Either would be better than the foam pad that I currently have. Just let me know what coyote doesnt want!”

“Ok, coyote, email your preferance and an address, Miss Opie email your address. I should be able to mail on Thursday. I think it is a toss up between the two. Ridgerest a little bulkier, but very light and maybe a little more comfy. Ultralite is that, and very compact. As a self inflater, subject to puncture.”
