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!

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”
