Howard do you recall the Contract Manufacurer who did their Tent bodies?

I have zero use for hard side luggage if it isn't a pelican for airline travel. I wish Patagonia wouldn't feel the need to fiddle with their offerings so often. I at times have pondered buying 2 of each bag for when one gets worn out. (I have put holes in the fabric)

http://geierglove.com/goatskin.html By a long shot the most durable gloves I have owned. 305s, the 330s are thinner, however they are a little less durable.

Anyone messed with using coroplast sheets bonding 2 sheets together in opposite orientations? That would be a pretty cost effective way to overcome the problems of single axis structure for lay-flat applications.

Discount Tire is one of if not the most risk adverse tire store. They wouldn't patch a tire that had a slash in the valley groove, not plugged plenty of tire life, and not a garbage tire either. Local shop fixed it right up.

Neat, didn't know those were a thing. I have tried the jack trick (not on trail) to fix some rock rash that had started tearing up the tire. Didn't work worth a crap and ended up just fixing it during a routine seasonal swap. I will probably grab one of these. BTW we grab some of you hitch...

One thing that we have learned the hard way is that good leather gloves that fit your hands well might be the greatest asset. 200 bucks is hard to build that price range with stuff that I would personally trust giving to someone to use. I would: Make sure she knows how to check fluids, read...

Couple of things about the GFC, first, I am not associated with them other than I am friends with one of the engineers there, we own an RTT from them, and we hang out with the crew at times as we are locals. 1. I doubt you'll find a stronger camper, especially on a pound for pound basis. Looks...

First post and all that; Obviously footwear is subjective. I went from Solomon Quest 4ds, which I love, they struggle to last a season of hiking for me. To A set of Italian built Schnee's Kestrels, on paper is an incredible boot, in reality it's wide variant not a wide at all, its a very narrow...
