Good prices and quick shipping” 3:32:26 PM 5/02/03 6:59:32 AM 5/03/03 “good deal BB! Hey Ewkwer, I got one of those sample packs too. I kinda was afraid of the breakfasts. I was thinking there's no way I'd give up my inexpensive, easy oatmeal. I tried the maple bulgar last trip and it was awesome! I felt like I'd had premium fuel, lol. I guess an extra 200 calories for breakfast can do that.” 7:47:23 AM 5/03/03 Still Haven't Used My Batray....Yet “That's a sweet tarp Buddha. And for $40 even!!!” 8:08:21 AM 5/03/03 “Sass, since you have tried it now you can add your results to an old thread where it is graded on ascale of 1 to 10 Enertia Food Taste Test bbinkley, has some good prices on this product.” 12:11:28 PM 5/03/03 “Buddur, you have got to try out that Batray. I use mine all the time now. No bug problems yet but with 3 trips coming up in the next month I will find out how it handles the bugs and other creatures.” 12:14:15 PM 5/03/03 “Thanks ewker” 1:44:29 PM 5/03/03 “Splurged today and got a new Miniworks EX and a MH wicked tee. Everyone I had talked to had droned on and on about what a good shirt it was, so I thought I'd try it. I finally broke down and bought some TNF shorts, although I've heard lots of complaints about how TNF has sold out to the rich kids and forgot its roots. They seemed like good shorts though, and were relatively cheap, so I gave them a shot.” 10:35:12 PM 5/03/03 “Ewker - thanks for the reminder. I just posted on that thread about Enertia foods. Yum!” 7:20:50 AM 5/04/03 “TNF makes outdoor clothing and gear. Good (but generally expensive) stuff too. It's not their problem who wears it.” 12:01:31 PM 5/04/03 “Just got a new Lotus Designs Mesh back PFD. Now I'm ready to hit the water again.” 12:50:37 PM 5/04/03 “I forgot that I had bought the GSI-Hard Anodized Boiler 1.25 qt and the Equinox 8 x 10 tarp and yesterday picked me up some 7" aluminum gutter nails to use as stakes. I also need to get a filter for my PUR hiker. That thing just isn't the same since Fl.” 1:12:08 PM 5/04/03 HPM “Actually the complaints I've heard have been about how it IS TNF's problem who wears it. The people complaining (not me-I've no previous experience with them) have said that TNF expanded their marketing to appeal to the yuppie crowd, and in doing so, have sacrificed their quality and innovation. These same people are saying the same thing about MH now that Columbia bought them out. I'm like you though--the stuff looks like it's good, so that's why I went ahead and picked up the shorts. And also because they were on sale cheap.” 5:00:31 PM 5/04/03 “bought a z-rest this week - i had a $10 certificate for Adventure 16, so i bought the pad and a tub of Gookinaid. i'm getting lighter and lighter...” 5:03:46 PM 5/04/03 “Got a 33 oz lexan coffee press. I was tired of making three batches of coffee every morning. It's bigger but I can pack food in it or something...” 7:18:05 AM 5/05/03 “There is no direct correlation between marketing and the quality of production. Yuppies (whatever that means anymore) don't go outside? Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to in some folks opinion. Whatever. Those people need grow up and quit acting like they are still in Jr. high. The MHW and TNF stuff I recently bought was of the same quality or better than the stuff I bought years ago.” 7:52:22 AM 5/05/03 “MH was sold so recently I sincerely doubt there's been time to make any huge changes in production quality. I don't have any TNF gear, except for one very nice sleeping bag that's probably 10 or more years old.” 7:54:10 AM 5/05/03 “I have a TNF fleece jacket that I got really cheap. IMHO it is lower quality than other comperable price range jackets from some other manufacurers. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it. It is my first experience with TNF, and it will most likely be my last. It's an OK jacket, don't get my wrong. It's just not worth the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail (MSR), that's all.” 8:02:47 AM 5/05/03 “You've got no argument with me HPM, but being new to backpacking, I tend to ask others' opinions before I buy stuff, and all I kept hearing was what I've described. When I saw some TNF stuff lately, I said screw it, looks functional enough for my needs. As far as the MH stuff, whatever is on the shelf right now was probably manufactured before the big buyout, like Sass said. And sorry for using the term yuppie lol. I guess I'm getting too old to keep up with whatever you call those people these days.” 1:34:17 PM 5/05/03 “I should get the Leki Ultralight trekking poles today which I ordered last week. YEHAW!” 2:38:16 PM 5/05/03 “I've got two TNF jackets and a pair of pants. I would never pay full price or even close but I am real happy with the quality. If the label happens to make young hotties check me out at the mall, who's to complain?” 3:08:41 PM 5/05/03 “with the use of those poles, WK, maybe you will be able to change your name!” 3:10:02 PM 5/05/03 “i was just thinking the same thing, smiley! who's to complain, Violin? Stratdewd. :-D hee hee hee!! for some reason, i never tire of those jokes.” 3:11:44 PM 5/05/03 “That is what I am hoping for :)Girl. I have been on DayPro for a little over a month now. On my last trip, I borrowed Crazy Mike's sticks and thay helped big time. I think I will change my name. How does this sound Wounded Knee?” 3:12:24 PM 5/05/03 “are you sure you're ready for such a big change?” 3:19:22 PM 5/05/03 “Yea! I think so. It's not like I am becoming a father, or is it?” 3:29:07 PM 5/05/03 “lyra, does that mean we think alike? my trekking poles helped speed me up a bit, since i'm kinda slow to begin with. i blame it on my short legs.” 3:49:19 PM 5/05/03 A BIG THANK YOU TO BBINKLEY “Today, I received a new 6x8 siltarp, a 7x15 Ultralite stuffsack, another Nalgene bottle, and last but not least, a case of Enertia Trail Food. Thanks, Binks, for the new site. It came in handy. Keep up the great work! Prices are great, too.” 11:08:54 AM 5/14/03 “What is the new site?” 11:10:45 AM 5/14/03 I forgot... “And a couple pages of the Sports section of "The Tennessean" dated May 6th, 2003. Free fire starter!” 11:11:10 AM 5/14/03 “backpackingdeals.com” 11:11:52 AM 5/14/03 11:13:46 AM 5/14/03 11:15:48 AM 5/14/03 “Cool, thanks.” 11:27:53 AM 5/14/03 “Hey I just got a pack cover for my pack (at last!) but found out it was a size too small. DUH! I will have to exchange it :S” 11:33:09 AM 5/14/03 “I just ordered some enertia food from BB, Great guy ! He is the one who lead me to TT :-) Thanks Binkie” 11:37:26 AM 5/14/03 “oh, i still can't get over how cool this is- i found a DOWN baby sleeping bag at a resale store! $13, ccan you believe it? now all i need is a new keyboad - %$#@& piece of &*^%$#!” 3:53:29 PM 5/14/03 “The latest... Optimus Crux Stove Fuel Canister Water shoes” 12:45:34 AM 5/16/03 “RTFM mug, slashdot stickers, portable speakers for 'picnics,' various platypi, Sorbothanes were too small... 10 out of 11 ain't bad, <G;> I'd think twice about the sites Binks steered me to... LMBO” 1:58:36 AM 5/16/03 Yipee! “Thermarest LE 3/4 and Frogg Toggs! Yes they're blue!” 8:42:27 PM 5/18/03 “Now you can join the Frogg Toggs band.” 8:51:42 PM 5/18/03 “We got chair thingies for our thermarests--10 ounces. I got some new zip off pants that don't make me look like a baloon and one of those boy scout web type belts to go with them.” 8:57:26 PM 5/18/03 Cool!! “That's right Coop! That's the only bad thing I already have a chair thing doesn't go with the thermarest. I'll have to see what it weighs.” 9:15:41 PM 5/18/03 “WHO SAID BAND?!?! [whips out strat]” 9:19:04 PM 5/18/03 “I want to be the drummer so I can get all the cute boys!” 9:20:28 PM 5/18/03 “if clothing counts: I got a couple coolmax t-shirts, 3 pair of socks, a fleece jacket that was on sale. Oh, and I got another nalgene bottle, a tinny backpack that I can put into my large pack in case I go dayhiking on a backpacking trip. Some trail food, a new pot and, nope that was it. Got really good deals though, so I did not spend too much $$. BTW: did someone see those ugly feece thongs at trail days?? who is wearing those things?? golly!!!” 9:23:59 PM 5/18/03 “Yeah I got a coolmax shirt the other day too. Pretty comfortable.” 10:40:18 PM 5/18/03 Jump to Page << prev
