Above post was stolen from one of those "other boards". Some of you natural-born organizers might be able to score on a free silk liner. Doesn't say if they all have to be the SAME TYPE of liner, but that should be easy enough to find out. Just passing it along...”

“Before I bought my Mountainsmith pack I was given a Gregory G-series pack. It is an older model and does not have sip tube vents but it does have a hydration sleeve pocket. I just ran the hose out the top opening and it worked fine. Websites list equivalent models at about 2700 or so. This is a medium torso which is the reason I am getting rid of it. It is too small for me by a couple of inches. But I really liked the way it rode none the less.

This pack is free to the first person who wants it. It was given to me gratis so it goes from me gratis. My e-mail is in my profile. Drop me a message is you have any questions or want the pack. It is blue and is virtually new.”

“curse me and my stupid long torso”

“email sent”

“It has tentatively been spoken for.”

“Just for the heck of it, why don't you give it to the 2nd person asking? Everyone goes with the first. Be the first (or second) in your crowd to break out of this cultural slump C'mon be a trend setter. Grow some nads, screw Eweker. Pick me.


ME, ME, ME”

“Nimblefoot... even at the second person you would still be SOL. Further I gave the guy who gave it to me first refusals... he said give it to the first guy. So I'm stuck.”

“Ok... we're on a roll. Nowhere near as wonderful an option as the first offer, but still and all.

I have at least two external frame backpacks I will no longer be using. One is a Camptrails Adjustable II youth pack. The second is a Kelty Tioga wannabe built on a Kelty frame. They are both in need of some TLC and have been cannabalized somewhat but are still very serviceable.

These are free to whoever wants them. I would say the fifth caller but I don't know if I'll even get one sucker, er taker. Waist belt and shoulder straps would be a good investment for them. Not sure what they have on them right now as they are in the attic and I am not.”

“That's okay, didn't really want it anyway. Just seemed a good way to needle two birds with the same stone:)”

“Hope you guys love the pack”

“hey WK, were you effected by the semi/train crash?”

“No, however I have gotten off and on that train a bunch.”

“send them to the muslim scouts in boise”

“hmmm that's an idea... Idaho Bob are these something you could use? I don't want to saddle you with an albatross.”

“I dragged those external frame packs down from the attic and they are usable as is. So if anyone wants them... let me know. Meanwhile... I'll post a note on the Muslim Scout thread for Idaho Bob”

“The kelty frame is tentatively spoken for.”

“Ok ,guess the joke was on me huh!?”

“excuse me?

The kelty is still here... I'll be sending these things out early in the week.

Ewker, streamweaver and SC... I will be getting these packs out as soon as I can get them boxed and over to the shipper. Should be torrow or Tuesday. At least that's the plan.

“Hey Rev...have you given out the camptrails adjustable II youth pack yet cuz if not then it would be great for my 10 year old.”

“It's gone.... sorry...”

“Wish I had seen this earlier...what a great pack that would have been for my kid...I should go through my stuff and put the stuff I don't use anymore on here for free”

“well... you can fight over it with Spirit Coyote and Sassafras if you want. They are the 1,2 line up for that pack.”

“Ewker... should arrive on wednesday..

Spirit Coyote... Should arrive on Wednesday

Stream weaver... Should arrive on Tuesday

I will send each of you the tracking #'s by e-mail.

That will also indicate the shipping if you choose to pay that. I'll leave that decision up to you.”

“hey rev, I haven't recieved an email--

have you tried mscmbackpacks@yahoo.com?”

“Rev, I will let you know when I get it. I haven't received an email either.”

“Haven't sent the e-mail which may explain why you didn't get one. According to the shipping sheet you should get it Wednesday.”

“Cool Rev, I'll let ya know when we get it :)”

“Spirit according to the tracking number your package is out for delivery.

According to the tracking numbers the other two have been delivered. If this proves not to be the case... Please let me know so I can start a search for them.”

“I probebly won't know untill I get home late tonight. (leaving for work soon)”

“Here's some free gear:

Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, babies.

Yawnt some?!”

“Since no one has reported otherwise... my understanding is the packs arrived. If not or if there was a problem please let me know.”

“pack arrived last night..perfect fit also..now to try it out for an overnighter”

“Great Ewker... glad you can use it.”

“Ok I got the pack Tuesday Evening(just couldnt get to the computer till now) Nice pack! Fits great,I never would have thought that was a homemade packbag if I didnt already know it!! Its kinda funny because on my first real backpacking trip in the White Mountains over 30 years ago I carried a ext frame pack that looked very much like this one.I had that pack for over 20 years! Blaze orange pack with green straps and belt,I loved that pack!! Thanks alot Rev!!”

“That pack has sentimental value to me. But I am keeping the one I spec to my liking. One thing for sure....you won't be mistaken for a deer during hunting season.”

“LOL yea theyll see me coming for miles!!”

“It didnt come yesterday, hopefully it will be there tonight when I get home :)”

“"A CORRECT STREET NUMBER IS NEEDED FOR DELIVERY. UPS IS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION"

“second email away...”

“nah.... crap like this happens all the time...”

“took care of it :) Apparently they had delivered it yesterday but came back a couple minutes later and picked it back up because they were not sure it was the correct place. It should be here today.
