Get out more. There's a reason Bi-Mart has an "outdoor" section. There are plenty of lower-income users of wildlands, particularly in the Inter-mountain west (WY, MT, ID, etc.) Why do you think Larry Craig (R-ID) was opposed? In a state that's 62% owned by the government and 43rd in disposable income? Mabe we have a different view of fanatics then. To be a fanatic, it is not necessary to buy $5,000 in gear a year. All that is needed is a love of the outdoors no? Mabe if you go to smith rocks for your wilderness experiences or the muir hut you will see richies, but the fanatics I see, on a middle of nowhere trout stream aren't exactly looking down through the glass ceiling. Not all outdoor enthusiasts are climbers nor have to fork out $1000's every year to be in the outdoors 75 days a year.

I paid $3 for Touching the Void. I still fail to see the deal in $13 for <10 articles. And notice that $15 was seen as a ridiculous offer. $46 was not taken up either must we assume that we are to pay $5 an article for a good magazine? >$50? Pretty expensive for a magazine. If you are really getting it just for the articles, why not download it?

I doubt that. Go to REI and tell me what types of people are chillin there. All the outdoor fanatics I know are broke ass trout bums, dirt bag climbers and the occasional person that i have met on this board who is middle/upper-middle class.

for $13 bucks!?! What do you buy it for then? SO you can brag to all your poser friends that YOU have all howevermany magazines they came out with? So you can be rich when they are a collectors item? I've never seen a mag that wasn't porn that is worth $13 bucks.

crack problems? yah i would say so.

After 1/2 a semester of partying I decided to recycle the bottles and cans. Got back $40.36! Might as well fill up the recycle bin again!

what a rip off! you are all suckers.

are you high?

That's quite a load man! I took 20 last semester and everyone thought I was crazy! Good Luck. I start mine soon too.

Oh, and the trick to using canister stoves is keeping the canister warm. If you are using it in cold conditions, use and insulating layer between the snow.

The cold doesn't bother it, but a stout wind certainly does. If you are going lightweight, I would reccomend it. You might have to rig a sort of wind break for it in windy conditions. That sucker can boil water pretty fast too, but wind certainly seems to be its downfall. For reference, I had it at -25*C and it started to get 'spurty' but I would think that most 'non-expedition stoves' would do this as well. If i were in any colder conditions, I would want something more substantial as it is a pretty important piece of gear. My 2 Cents.

Shit man. At least I know what you are saying. I can't understand a damn thing Muffy says.

whats really funny is that is probably a she-male Nah... I checked.

She doesn't have internet.

Hope you all had fun while I was pulling an 18" cuttie outta a alpine lake this evening. Hope you had fun in your cubicle Greg! Kisses, Scott

Even with earrings, I could break you in half, junior. Oh no! Good thing this is the year 2004. I will just let you beat me up and I will then proceed to rape your holdings until I have every last cent. Then, when you are living in the street and I am living in your house, I will throw you a bottle of Thunderbird as a thanks! Thanks for kickin' my ass! I am not afraid of your skinny ass Greg. I play rugby and I get my ass kicked by guys 2x your size all the time.

I'll check 'er out. Thanks.

Mmmm chickin fwide wice.

Oh and distel, if you want to see a video I made of bouldering let me know. Its only a v2, but pretty cool little problem. I dont think you can do video on this board, so i might have to find another place to put it on.

That last one is hilarious!

Me and a buddy are doing a joint fly fishing/ climbing trip in B.C. This is the second one we have done and it is a lot of fun. Let me know if you are interested. starts April 13th. still open to climbing destinations/ rivers. Last time we did skaha and hit the chilliwack and a few others on the way. PM me.

At least I dont wear hoop earings nancy boy.

At least it was in focus dipshit... and it had eastern european girls in it. Sure beats your sausage fest! but you can't take credit for it of course because you didn't take it....... who the fuck cares. I'm posting my pics whether you like them or not so eat a bowl of shit bitches You didn't take yours either. You brought my picture to this page not me. I just put it here so my friends could see it and also because I worte a TR about the vodka induced epic on the 'dube cube baltijos'. My picture was supposed to be humorous not a 'look how strong I am, it doesn't matter the picture sucks cause it is on a v6' picture. lighten up and as i said before experiment a little. i gave you a suggestion that another poster seconded and you shot it down. I was just trying to help until you got your midget knickers in a twist.

Freedom of choice...

don't be bitter babes. kisses, -Scott
