new gear... and CHEAP!

“So i just got back from REI with a new MSR Hubba and a Petzl Tikka XP. Both for only 230! One month ago that would have cost me well over 300! I love corporate size Christmas sales!

- 21

I cant wait to get to Linville Gorge in January to try out all my new gear!”

“CONGRATS! Beats droping 50g's eh? LOL! Enjoy. I wish I were going to Linville. Perhaps later in the year I'll make it.”

“got me a new pack at REI, not on sale though.....Gregory Z55.....nice...”

“Enjoy that wraptor suspension system. I know I love my alpinisto. I can actually run with a full pack, and it doesn't bounce all over the place!”

“I had the salesperson load it with 40 pounds while I shopped for an hour....no problems...I'll only have 30 in it tops...”

“I just picked up a new Nimbus Ozone for $105 from Ebay and a new REI Chrysalis UL (sp) for $89 thanks to a special code which took $25 off the outlet price. Now all I need are some winter clothes for Linville.”

“21-

I think you will be happy with the Hubba. It is very easy to set up, free standing, and there is enough head-room to sit upright inside. I used one on my AT thru-hike and I have no complaints. In high winds it will be a little tricky to set up.”

“I own a msr hubba hubba and love it use it in a very windyand rainy night and it did great. see you at linville ,”

“awesome jb... yea didn't you get it, like at a garage sale or something like that? i remember you telling us last year...”

“ya i did and love it”

“a variation on a theme

cheap new gear”

“I just found this site (I may behind the times) I just got a Marmot Venus 12 oz jacket in my size and not a gross color for $41.00, regular price is up to $159.

The site has used and new gear not only for hiking but also mountain and road bicycling, snow sports, climbing and paddling sports.

And you can sell your gear there too!
