“I have one of these that lives in the closet. I've done the same thing you did and went to drops. If anybody wants a pump they can have mine for $10 plus postage!”

“It's junk...I have one.”

“ok. I'll ask. what's wrong with that filter? I use a PUR hiker with my Scout troop but, was looking for another filter. By the way, they're out of stock at Dick's.”

“spike, out of stock on line or a specific store?”

“a friend of mine has the previous generation of this filter...it works pretty good but it doesn't seem to clog easy but you can field clean it”

“Isn't that the MSR? I have a Katadine Hiker and it kicks all kinds of ass! I even pumped water from one of the horse ponds on top of a ridge in the Charles Deam. Anyone who's been there, knows what I'm talking about.”

“if you click your link above, it says that the item is temporarily out of stock.”

“no nigal, this is the sweetwater”

“Oh, ok. Junk! That was my first filter and it sucks donkey balls.”

“well ... I certainly don't want my Scouts using something that sucks donkey balls !”

“if you click your link above, it says that the item is temporarily out of stock

my bad...stupid internet, stupid technology...it worked when i put it up...i shouldn't have put it up, you guys bought them all before i had the chance!! ;)”

“Back 4 or 5 years ago someone on TT got majorly sick from water thru the sweetwater. Anyone recall who that was?”

“I have a sweetwater and it has worked fine for several years. Kudzoo if you still want to unload yours let me know. I wouldn't mind having a spare for my son.

BTW MSR bought out sweetwater a couple years ago.”

“I just bought a Eureka Spitfire, cool solo tent, from Discount Hunting Supply's eBay store.
http://stores.ebay.com/Discount-Hunting-Supply_Tents_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Price was $64.95 (msrp $125) plus $12.00 shipping. Depending on who you believe, the pack weight is 3lbs-4oz or 3lbs-10oz. I like the size, design and price. Will have more to say after it arrives.”

“I will be filtering from one of those ponds this weekend Nigal.”

“Just paid a visit to the local Costco. They just got my favorite all purpose socks in. These are made by Head (the skiwear people) and are medium weight, 72% merino wool, 27% nylon, 1% spandex, constructed like Smartwool socks. They come in a 3 pack for $9.99!!! These are GREAT socks at a fantastic price. I've been wearing them as my everyday winter socks since I first found them about 4 years ago and have yet to wear out a pair. I have started stock piling them, I know that one day they'll be gone. Costco gets them in the fall and they're always gone by Christmas, so don't wait, get 'em now!”

“i picked up some "outdoor" socks at Aldi's...yea, i grocery shop at Aldis, big wup wanna fightaboutit?...they are lined w/ lycra...they're pretty comfortable and were only $3...don't know how they'll last yet”

“I picked up an orange shirt with the General Lee "01" (Dukes of Hazzard) on the front for $5 from Target. If it had the confederate flag on the back it would have been complete.”

“http://www.backcountrygear.com/catalog/packdetail.cfm/OS202

Ospreay Atmos 50, $160, only $40 off, but not a bad price for a new design I guess.”

“I got a hell of a deal on a titanium spork last weekend.........it was lying on the ground at my campsite in Otter Creek Wilderness.

For the price of picking up a few items of rubbish it was mine!”

“They've also got blackdiamond tents at 25% off btw.”

“Interesting..... just tried on the Atmos at REI last weekend. Very nice pack.”
