I didn't want to hot dry my newer one incase it melted, but it seems to work pretty good and hasn't melted anything, yet. Has anyone done this (hot dry) with a scholer product to revive the waterproofing? [ 12-17-2001: Message edited by: Bronco ] Yea, and it works good. Schoeller doesn't melt in drier, although you can flame-off any fuzzies with a lighter if it starts to micropill.

Whoa Dwayno, if you getting that excited maybe you better go offline and take care of business!

Or a bunch of stoned Canadians hiking across the border with huge backpacks filled with bud and having a celebratory toke when they meet their pick up on the US side. No death and the mayhem is on the order of "dude where are my car keys, dude?" "Dude I thought I gave them to you?" "Dude I cant get this child proof lighter to light!"

But Stim didn't start climbing till he was in his 50's, right? whereas Beckey allegedly emerged from the womb via chimney technique and tied off his own umbilical cord with a figure-8 knot.

You mean Scotch Guard?? WASH AND DRY HOT first to revive DWR. then try ReviveX. ReviveX works best according to ArcTeryx, they use it on everything they make, even packs and whatnot.

MSR stove blowtorch like the infamous XGK does work real well for heating up the hot knife.

Make that 2000 post guys. The gap is widening between me and Ray and between the two of us and the rest of ya.

So where is the Lillooet trip report Capt.? Did you climb ice or just ?? Doh... I just found it at http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=000042 [ 12-17-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

Maybe this should be a new thread! They are fat too! 68% are "overweight". 40% are "obese". Canada is skinnier - I think its about 40% and 20%. Must be cause we burn more calories living in the freezing cold temps and building our igloos.

Yeah... and they went and got Messner to come and take a look ot "Otzi" the Iceman, and Messner just grabbed the body and yanked it off the ice. And it turns out the Iceman's dick was still frozen to the ice and when Messner did that the poor ice man's whole genital apparatus was ripped right off the body and remained frozen to the ice. Which goes to show you that climbing 8000m pks without O's does not make you an archaeologist. I was waiting for the headline in "Hot Flashes" - REINHOLD MESSNER RIPS DEAD GUYS BALLS OFF - but they never ran it.

he was here this morning. i think bill gates needed a groin massage though. "Borbon get in here with that hot oil or I will reveal all your avatar names to the world... for I am Bill Gates, Lord of the Internet"

pair of Quarks, or 2 pink tri cams - toss up.

i have a #0.5 rigid shafted friend dating from c. 1980, made out of titanium. i have never placed it. i got it as compensation trade for telling my buddy luc where some other booty was that i could not remove when i found it. it is probably on its 3rd owner and i doubt any of us have ever placed it much. i know i have never placed it in 5 years of owning it. im keeping it for those thin sandstone aid cracks i hope to do more of some day years from now.

you could always go euro and carry water around in a metal SIGG fuel-type bottle. only weighs about as much as the water inside it. but you don't get the leachate of endocrine disruptor chemicals from the soft plastic into the water... :

I found if you put a skull and crossbones on your waterbottle you never have to share water with anyone
