REI Holiday Catalogue

“Just got my REI holiday catalogue.

Found a few more things to add to the list.

Down booties.

REI "The One" jacket

Garmin Rino GPS/Radio

Snowshoes”

“All they'll ever see of you bbinkley is little bandy legs sticking out under a big huge pack.”

“I don't pack everyting Geobeet. My pack doesn't weigh all that much. I'm trying to find a digital scale so I can weigh all my gear.”

“The above list should help then.

With The One jacket you should be able to eliminate at least one layer.

The Garnim Rhino combines your GPS adn Radio ao you can now carry only one item instead of two.

Sounds to me like your making progress.”

“And keeping BWD, as well as the economy, going. ;-)”

“Yeah dave....that's it....that's why i need this gear....i knew i could come up with an excuse somewhere.

I have no GPS or Radio now and no wind stopper fleece.

Maybe soon”

“Bbinkley, a pack weighing tip as taught to me by pedxing...

Buy a semi-decent bathroom scale. Weigh yourself with pack on. Weigh yourself with pack off. Subtract the difference and you have your pack weight.”

“I know that. But I want to weigh each piece of gear that I have and see where I can shave weight from each piece.”

“Ah ha..”

“Yes this is the same guy who carries a 12 pack and brats...And I'm worried about pack weight.

I have an old saying:

"The lighter the gear means more room for the beer"”

“Not a bad theory..”

“I am getting a scale for Christmas!”

“I need a digital scale cheap.”

“That's not what Santa told me, smiley girl. ;-)”

“But my mommy already told me so! WAAAAAHHHH!!!!!”

“Just got my REI summer catalog. What is the revolutionary waterproof material they make the Arc'Teryx Naos pack out of? And does anyone recognize where the tent picture on page 16 was taken?”

“There's packs on my page 16. I find a cool pic on page 20. A couple in a tent on a bluff over looking a mountain canyon and river below. Is that it? Not sure where it is.”

“You are describing the same picture. REI puts out different versions of the same catalog with fewer pages depending on the demographic group they are targeting.”
