GearSwap needs your help

“Hey all,

I need to rally some interest in my new program that I launched called GearSwap. If you got some used gear to sell please post it here at http://www.imahiker.com/gearswap”

“Crazy Mike's got everybody giving it away. Nothing left to sell!”

“I need to keep my old stuff around to loan to friends when they come to bp with me. I will look around though and see if I have anything that anyone else might want.”

“I don't sell gear I give it away!To me that is the best way to get rid of gear!

“I just gave a pack full of stuff to Carbiner cause she teaches backpacking & rock climbing to kids at the YMCA.
I'm like Crazy Mike. I'd rather just give it away.”

“oh man, that imahiker loser just never gives up.”

“I've got a long term loaner backpack ready to ship tomorrow. Still haven't heard whether that other guy got the MSR waterworks I sent him.”

“I need to find a place to buy. I am getting more than retail for my used crap on EBAY.”

“eBay is a great place to sell but I haven't seen very many deals worth bidding on.”

“I look on Ebay for gear but I keep forgetting that I don't need anything now. It's kinda like a yard sale. Pretty soon you buy stuff just out of being board.
I gotta stay away from that site.”

“Free gear is the best way to make a new backpacker happy!

And me!

Free is good!

“Pathman--I did get your filter and used it last weekend in the Smokies. It was wierd (the Smokies, not the filter). On Friday we got snow flurries on Clingman's Dome. I didn't believe it at first, but I held my hand out to "catch" the flakes and watched them melt.

Ran into several thru-hikers. Some looked pretty rough after two weeks...

Thanks so much for the filter--it seems like it has a good bit of life left before the cartridge has to be replaced. If you'll send me your address I will drop a check in the mail for shipping.”

“Hey, y'all ever notice that no matter how much gear you have, no matter how much you really don't need any more gear, that a stroll through REI, Campmor or A16 can still give ya a woody?”
