REI must love me...

“so, i just returned my REI Mountain 2 tent... the thing was just too heavy and i hated the pole being permanently attached to the fly...

either way,
i bought the new REI Cirque 2 ASL... its 4 season, doublewall, two door, two vestibule (8sq ft each) and only weighs 5 1/2 lbs! i'll have in on the North Fork Trail, it should do pretty well...

And since i had money left over from returning my previous tent, i got a Kelty Noah 12 tarp for my ENO hammock... ah i love return policys!”

“5.5 pounds! Mother of GOD”

“Come on. that's pretty decent for a 4 season.”

“Wounded Knee is a gram weeny. 8D”

“Im with WK”

“i LOOVE my Bibler I tent / 4 season, 4 lbs!”

“oh i'm sure you do love your bibler... the bibler AND its $500 price tag! i could buy two cirque 2's AND two footprints for that price!
for a combination of price/weight, you don't get much better than the cirque. (except for those crazy tarp folks)”

“crazy tarp folks? excuse me! who is lugging a 5-lb bag tent around?”

“easy now, its just for the cold winters... i just bought me a tarp and hammock so i might join ya there yogi...”

“is there a limit on how many times you can use the online coupon? for example, the 20 percent off deal they got goin now?”

“I've used it three times so far.”

“really? 3 separate deals or the same one?

i just saw a disclaimer that said one per customer”

“i would assume that, since you give them your membership number, they would be able to track when you've used it...
i've only used it once, but haven't tried other times...”

“windi mustve used 3 different coupons”

“heck, if you can just find something significantly more than 100 dollars, it would be worth it to just buy another membership

400 dollar mountaineering boots at 20 percent off? heck yea, ill pay the 20 bucks to get another membership. too bad i never buy boots online

or packs, either. damn cuz im in the market for both”

“I got 55 dollars worth of stuff for 25 bucks at REI last week....love them dividends and coupons.........”

“Got my new Osprey Atmos yesterday!”

“CB,
thats why its so nice to have an REI right near ya! wheres the closest to you?”

“about a 12 hour flight away

when im home, about 3 hours...chicago”

“... oh yea,”

“Crash, I just put in the coupon listed each time and it took it. If that doesn't work, you can use it without using your membership number.”

“you dont have to input your membership number? huh”

“I just tried ordering with my membership number and the coupon and it took it.”
