Thanks to Binks and his store

“Late Monday I called Bink's store to order a silnylon tarp. I told the guy on the phone (Jason?) that I needed it by the 31st so I could use it for lizs' trip. Jason said no problem. Well, he was right. I got it today! No extra charge for expedited shipping or anything. Nice work, guys.

Man, this tarp looks sweet. I'll break it in this weekend - the forecast is rain, rain and maybe rain for where I'm going.”

“Sounds like a Men's Wearhouse commercial”

“that is good service.”

“WK - Yea, I know... I like to give credit when a retailer meets a special request.”

“Binks did the same thing for me last year, I needed a couple tarps & some enertia food last minute for my JMT trip, his service was excellent!”

“Well I for one think ya all need to quit buying from him so he'll have time to post here! Ya bassturds!”

“D'oh! My bad, Nigal. Actually, though, I blame you! If I hadn't found your tarping site, maybe I'd have stuck with my Eureka tent and my 40 pound pack and wouldn't have thought to go simpler and lighter. So, its all your fault......”

“BBinkster Rocks!!!

As always, I like to promote the Silly Freak!”

“Damn T Mac, karma has come to bite me in the balls once again! It all goes back to Kevin Bacon ya know.”

“It always does go back to Bacon... (or bacon rings for CMB)”

“Brandon has got it going on with both his store and his website. Even tho I have never ordered anything from him (I live close by)all I hear is good reports. His gear is as good as or better than most and his prices can't be beat. I have a tarp, trip tease guyline, snythetic underwear, titanium spork and ti stakes, plus I just got a new pack from him. I got the Granite Gear Vapor Trail, and now my packweight is below 20lbs. Keep up the good work Brandon!”

“I ordered a pillow from him and he did not have it in stock. He ordered it and fed-exed it to me with a free Nalgene (logo too!)”

“...someone should post the link to his store, either on this thread, or on the Gear links, or in both places, so that folks may take advantage of his goods and services.”

“lmao... i give up.”

“wtf, that's not what I typed! again ”

“now that's just not right!”

“you mean this?

8)”

“I'm going to get a kayak from him sometime in April. He take care of us TTers.”

“Hi Dude!!! How are ya?

You're getting a kayak? How exciting. Lemme know when. Might mean my boat and I will need to take a trip down to TN for a weekend paddle trip!”

“Thanks; as often as I'd seen that website, I had completely forgotten it, and I hadn't bookmarked it. That's taken care of...can his website get posted on the Gear page?”

“I just ordered a pile of Enertia meals from Binks. Not having tried them before, I hope they are as good as most of you say they are.”

“Sounds good Tara! I'll post about it when I get it.
The link for the Kayak I'm getting is on the TT Paddle Clud thread.”

“WD & TD, i talked to Binks the other day about getting a kayak this spring, well two, one for me and one for KabinKamper. What kind of water are you planning on paddling? Rivers or Rapids?”
