Gotta New TerraQuest!

“I got the medium with the reflective deflector. It also has a reversable lens for either rain OR snowy conditions.

The saleswoman showed me a kewl trick for removing early morning frost without having to wet it first. She was very helpful (tho the same technique was demonstrated in the instructions).

Anyhoo, I sat it on a corner fence post (vertical railroad tie) all night last night and the batteries were still quite strong this morning - 10 hours later! I think that is attributable to the titanium housing as opposed to the old style aluminum.

I got it mostly for canoeing, but at 11 oz., I plan to backpack with it as well.

Any of you have one?
Any recommendations for other uses?”

“Uh, what is it?”

“Apparently I'm out of the loop, what is a TerraQuest?”

“From the name, I would guess it's a device to find the earth.”

“It sounds like gojo's Johnson!”

“Should come in handy then.”

“A titanium johnson?”

“Here's Johnny.”

“...with the reflective deflector, no less!”

“...what the heck is it suppose to deflect?”

“He must have some real brass ones to leave it out in the frost all night.”

“The more I read it, the more it sounds like it! LOL!

"Anyhoo, I sat it on a corner fence post (vertical railroad tie) all night last night..."”

“Maybe it's how he courts female metallurgists...”

“Reflectives, of course, you idiot!”

“Uh, that was a response to bit's question.”

“Why does Steely Dan keep coming to mind?”

“Duh, how stupid of me! Of course! I have problems with reflectives on mine (original equipment, btw) because I don't have a deflector.

And the batteries last all night. That's a big plus!”

“"The saleswoman showed me a kewl trick for removing early morning frost without having to wet it first. She was very helpful (tho the same technique was demonstrated in the instructions)."

It obvious to me!”

“The saleswoman showed me a kewl trick for removing early morning frost without having to wet it first. She was very helpful (tho the same technique was demonstrated in the instructions).

Ya right.”

“I hereby nominate gojo's post for "Gear Post of the Month"!”

“I second! I second!”

“I think the ladies need to review this first before we decide!”

“What kind of person posts something like that, then never comes back?”

“Marty, normally it's a troll, but Gojo posted his own name so go figgur!”

“I would think he's practicing getting the frost off.”

“Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz”

“Either that or deflecting some reflectives.”

“REI musta sold 'em out. But I did find one here.”

“Hmmmm, not quite as comfortable looking as I expected, Marty.”

“Or maybe it's this...”

“I've been outside testing it with the canoe. I think it'll work even better than I hoped.

Just as I got it mounted, it started raining. It does unbelievably well even in the rain. This is probably the best $39.00 I'll spend on gear all year.

I wonder if it would be worth using at either high elevation or sea level (offshore fishing).

My other one would crap-out at 10,000'. Pfffft!”

“"Just as I got it mounted, it started raining. It does unbelievably well even in the rain."

Hmmmmmmm.....”

“Here's a question: If gojo posts a picture of "it" here, will Matt delete the thread?”

“Another question: If newgirl reads this thread, will she object to the term "mounted"?”

“He would have deleted the one I found. ;-)”

“Those dastardly links...
I can't even make-up a new word.


There's even a cat with a website in CA that goes by the name "Sarabelle"...”

“Could it be some sort of weather monitoring device?”

“Meow!”

“how the hell you people got a "johnson" out of that is a mystery to me! LOL. of course, MY mind is pure...”

“It was fairly obvious to me!”

“At least he got a "medium".”

“Pure what, lyra? lol....”

“LOL! pure evillllll...
;-)”

“I guess I should have realized that! So what did you think it was?”

“$39 for the medium. I wonder what the large runs? Lyra, do you know off hand?”

“yet another piece of gear i had never heard of, and was too lazy to look up! not surprising, really.”

“What, the lazy part? lol....”

“very funny, you two! ;-)”

“Large runs $129.95”

“I think I'll stick to my old, reliable one!”
