“"An array of 24 Hi Intensity LEDs illuminates hundreds of square feet, with a combination of Focused and Peripheral Lighting."

Holy crap!”

“only $120 - just the thing for spotlighting deer and blinding hikers”

“Think Kayaking and canoeing...”

“I noticed they also had underwater versions for snorkeling/diving. Would be useful instead of a regular home-bound flashlight. No way I would want it on the trail, though. I take my Photons (2 of them) and that's it.”

“bump”

“Heck a Q-Beam and a roll of duct tape only run ya $50.”

“Yeah, but yer neck'd git sore from the balance and weight issues tho.....LMAO....

Did anyone get far enough into the specs to notice that this headlamp has a feature that AUTOMATICALLY dims the light if you face another headlamp or a reflection like a mirror or water?....

The Scuba model is waterproof..Duh....

NO, I'm not a salesman for nor do I own stock in this company....

I KNEW coming in the price, size and weight issues would get me slammed, but I still think this lamp has a lot of merit, if only for nighttime kayaking...(mebbee Frog Giggin' an' setch lak thet thar tew...)”

“That's pretty cool, ST. Now that's a toy.”

““Yeah, but yer neck'd git sore from the balance and weight issues tho.....LMAO...."

Like, duh! you use half the tape for taping it to your head and the other half to make a duct tape neck brace. LOL!

I've been thinking I need a real, non-led headlamp for kayaking. I was thinking that dual Petzl one would be good. Those things throw a good beam.”

“Nigal, you been watching 'The Red Green Show'? Have you turned into a closet Canuck?”

“my princeton tec dual beam kicks ass

i use it on led 90% of the time, but it's nice to be able to blind those folks camping 50 yds away once in awhile”

“Red Green is just awesome no matter what country ya live in. I laughed my ass off at my brother when I saw his tv antena that had duct tape holding it to his house after a storm. LOL!”

“BTW, Campmor has the Eureka Mountain Pass 2XT and 4XT on special. It's a great four season tent, especially for the price.

BTW2, up here we call duct tape 'God on a roll'.”

“Found this at cheaper than dirt:

Shower Express cleaning towels

Great for cleaning up before trail nookie I bet!”

“I'm wondering how much they weigh.”

“I wondered that too. It doesn't say. But for nookie the weight might be worth it.”

“On second thought, I better censor myself.

“AW Ruby we're all friends here.”

“Come on. Say it.



You know you want to.”

“hmmmmmmm....I was just thinking...


They might be perfect for the trail head.”

“Ba-da-bump!


I knew someone who Googles humping donkey videos wouldn't keep that to herself.”

“hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

“But there wasn't really anything embarrassing about that revelation, Ruby!”

“well, that wasn't exactly what I typed the first time.


seeing the humping donkey video again made me forward it on to all my friends. If I could just remember the other link I used to have book marked. It had so many more clips just as funny as the donkey.”

“They have Wigwam Outdoor, Merino wool boot socks...3 for $10.99

They would be great tele, snowshoe boot socks. Heavy and tall.”

“http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/11/army.gum.ap/index.html

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Brushing three times a day is a tough task, especially if you're roughing it in the mountains of Afghanistan or in the Iraqi desert.

So goes the logic behind a recent endeavor by Army and civilian scientists -- combat gum for soldiers too busy to brush.

“Some good buys right now in the REI Winter camping gear sale.....I'm trying to decide between a tent or a sleeping bag.


(Sorry, no link---I'm sure you all have it in your favorites anyway.)”

“for all you umbrella lovers. Target has 4.7 oz umbrellas right now.

[how can you hike with a damn umbrella in your hand?]”

“NC is that you with hair??
tsheeetsheee”

“Hey!!


PS: That's not hair, that's a camouflage umbrella. What, are you blind?”

“was that a trick question?”

“No, it was a smartass one. :P”

“you better be nice...i am known for locking people into trashcans! yes sir!”

“Snow Peak - Gigapower Titanium Stove Manual

$49 (usually $65)

This is a great price for this stove. Snow Peak won't let the people that sell these discount them (so I am told) so it's rare to find these on sale. This is on closeout so it's last years model, as if that means anything.

This doesn't have the piezo starter on it, but that just adds weight. You can buy the igniter for it for $15 or you can just use matches or a BBQ igniter or something like that.

2.5 oz!

“Jimmy I have the superfly with the igniter...the igniter works about 30% of the time....That is a good price for the Snow Peak.”

“I am a huge fan of the OR Rain Claw Mitt, but it has been discontinued a few years now. I got one of the last pairs before this happened. Anyhoo, I was digging about and found something very close:

http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Aerostich-Triple-Digit-Rain-Cover-p-16447.html



They would probably need to be adapted for ultralight usage (the sleeve might be too long) but perhaps not. Anyway, if you are looking for the Rain Claw Mitt from OR and are sad at it's demise this might be a good fit for you.

I do not own nor have I purchased these gloves as I have a pair of OR Rain Claw Mitts. So I can't say if these are nice or not. Buy at your own risk but if you do let us know how they work out.”

“SO if I wanted to be LOBSTER BOY at the fair...you are saying these would work?”

“nanu nanu”

“Live long and prosper.”

“It was going to be said....

"I AM NOT AN ANIMAL."""""”

“Thats not the Jimmy san Trademark logo on the cuff now is it?”

“hehe”

“DAMN GOOD DEAL!!! BUT HURRY UP!

“This was reduced to $59... it's damn hard to beat the set of features in this Bivy at this price point... esp at 15 oz with bug protection.
