God I love it when the researchers at Unclaimed are lazy.....”

“Nice!”

“Sweet!”

“Very Nioe!

Ok I need to learn this trick of buying unclaimed baggage. Is there a place on the net you can go to or is it a inperson thing or a combo of both?”

“It's a store close to Rainesville, AL”

“http://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/

here's the website...

but it does not do the place justice....

“Thank you sir!!”

“ST...do you store all this stuff away like some neurotic squirrel, run e-bay 24/7, or like i said earlier....double as QM for a small band of colombian rebels?

i like the designs for that tent..bravo find.”

“Click on the Interesting Stuff link on the page, then unpack the bag....

You get a sense for what they find in the luggage....LOL”

“The Huntsville canoe AND Kayak club will hold it's annual swap meet at Ditto Landing, and I will be selling this stuff at COST to the members of the club...come see us....”

“I have several trips to Rainesville coming up during winter. I can see me stopping in a few times. I've only driven by the place on the way to the Walls of Jericho trip. I stunk and thought I'd help out the shoppers by not dropping in.

Don't know why I forgot it was in Scottsboro.”

“Dang, what's that tent worth? I tried to find a price, but no luck.”

“what's 269.00 euros worth?”

“I think the exchange rate is about 1.1:1 Euro to USD so close to $300 USD.

I bet it weighs a ton. 12# maybe?”

“333.952 USD...”

“3.9 KG X 2.2 lbs= 8.5 lbs

When I compared it to MSR and Hilleberg 4 season tents I found it's not a bad weight..

For a 4 season conversion that is...

“Wow, more like 25% then. What's $0.002? We get taxed by mils, so they exist.”

“Net pole sleeves, 3 pole crossover (Will take a snow load)....zippered door covers and roof vents.....the nylon is a medium to heavy weight...this one was built to stand up to expedition use...”

“COLOMBIAN SNOW REBELS?”

“Do they have a section specifically for camping or is everything all jumbled up?”

“They have kind of a gear section in back. It's pretty well organized, not like a redneck yardsale.”

“Isn't there also an unclaimed baggage in Boaz?”

“No, that's an outlet mall”

“I know that dayhiker! But I also think they have an Unclaimed Baggage. I heard that anyway. I don't think it's as big as the one in Scottsboro.”

“Really, crap I drove thru Boaz about 20x or so this summer.”

“They have apparently opened another store in Boaz.

Some proof

“Yep, I found it too.”

“That's why I mentioned that for you dayhiker because I know it's closer to you than Scottsboro.”

“Thanks. I had no idea. It's maybe an hour from me. I'm hoping to family camp at Guntersville this fall and that'd be right on the way.

I have a project that'll start construction in Rainesville in about 2 months, but it'll be about 4-5 months before I have to make visits. I'll have to take my wife with me on a couple of site visits. I can drop her off, go to the meeting, and if she's nice, pick her up on the way back thru.”

“A good trick to play on your wife in such a circumstance is to pretend to be appalled at the number of bags she is carrying out, and then drive away.

My brother should do it to his wife, for real.”

“Yep, only smaller...really very little in the way of gear...but who knows...ya might get lucky!”

“I am going to stop on the way up to a seminar on Sept 17th. Wish me luck.”

“Dang it Tango...you better have lunch/supper with me if you come this way! OR, I'll meet you there! Let me know!”

“I think I can fit you in.”
