thought i'd come out of the woodwork and say what a sweet platform you did. great work.

...presumably because there's a :beer: in your mouth? haha :rolleyes:

i can usually be seen enjoying one or more of the following (in approximate order of heaviness): left hand sawtooth ale laughing lab scottish ale samuel smith taddy porter moretti la rossa mcewan's scottish ale for a refreshing summer drinkie, definitely the lefthand with chips or potato...

might be worth sending a note to firestone and asking just how much articulation the airbags can handle. they've got to have tested it to be able to make that statement. btw i have to use this new gif. so cute! haha :088: and this one too..... :1888fbbd: cracks me up. he needs a narrow fork...

welcome! not that i'm an emissary of the board, but it's nice to have you here. sounds like you have quite a varied set of activities you enjoy. post up an avatar and some pix of your rig and where you like to go. you say you have a photo biz? cool!... got a URL? cheers edit: ps you've gotten...

i can stash most trash i create in the wonderfully heavy-duty long-lasting ziplock bags that splenda comes in. they're opaque, easily cleaned out afterward, and prove surprisingly resistant to puncture. they're also free, so to speak. i've tried grass bags, and they're huge and weak. yeah you...

OH, well heck. hahaha. that changes everything. just get the lightest most compact tripod you can find, and you're done. stay away from strong winds and you'll have nothing to be too concerned about. you might want to suspend a small weight (ie a bag with a rock in it, for instance) below the...

if your camera is light, it shouldn't be a big deal. if you have a big camera, or an 80-200 zoom, i'd think twice. see if you can find one locally to try out...

aha, well then a compact tripod it is, for you. here is a 3.5-lb titanium tripod at b&h, per their search. if the link fails, search for 784040 (the item number) in the search field. it's a bushnell, not exactly the best brand around. if cost is no object (for argument's sake, of course), then...

does it need to be a tripod? you could fit a 1/4-20 to the end of your trekking pole and be done with it. if it has to be a tripod, then either carbon-fiber or titanium. i buy exclusively from B&H, and have never been disappointed. like the other good NYC shop, adorama, they have full specs on...

that is awesome! given that mogs are tough beasts, the answer this question may be obvious.... but are these as strong as regular axles? that's a lot of weight on a gearcase. and yeah i know that good hyploid oil is rated in the tens of thousands of psi, but still...

thanks...glad to contribute. i don't recall who shot each of the photos, so david shares in the compliment. i sure could have used at least a couple more days of and :camping:

thanks. it's a fun drive. pull out TI103, look on the east side, and find apex. head west from there and stay on FR353 up over the top of that minor saddle between james peak and kingston peak, then the hut is a couple miles. there's no direct roadway from the loch up to the overlook. if you're...

Continued from part 2 The road down was about as rocky as going up. We stopped for some more photo-ops. One was a grove of bristlecone pines. For those of you not familiar with them, they can live to astounding ages – some are among the oldest living things on the planet – easily 2,500 years...

Continued from part 1... The rain finally tapered off sometime after sunrise, so we made the thickest coffee ever (French roast, Turkish-ground, “mud” style), and headed out. Here's the view from the top, looking east. Me, courtesy of David. It felt like we were near the top of...

I hosted David (oly884) at my place last weekend. Big thanks to him for driving 700 miles each way to come visit. He got a kayak out of the deal, but still it was big of him to come to visit. We had a great time and wanted to share some pix and shared narration with you of our 4-wheeling and...

i have a pair of leki makalu poles. i just weighed one -- 7.8 oz each. titanium. i got 'em almost new from the REI garage sale, with a simple note saying "did not like" on them. um... ok, i have no idea why. they're great. unscrew to lengthen, screw to tighten. just as with skiing or...

sorry for a quick hijack lookin' good. what kind of articulation do you get with those now, compared to the original setup? btw what's your tire size? 255 x ? on 16" wheels? thanks

great area! thanks for sharing the pix (and the weather info).

nice! dang i wish we were heading up there for a vacation. we loved the week we spent in lake louise village in, er, 2001? we got mightily snowed on, on july 4. it was hilarious.
