God no! Please don't ruin the street cred of my gear-totin, trailhead-biving, snow-and-ice-drivin fun machine!!! Quit hating and go buy yourself that shiny new Forester you've been eyeing. You know, the gold one with the dual latte' warmers.

It comes complete with robo-nipples.

...I were an Oscar Meyer wiener.....

You must be tired of the Wahhhmbulance pic. Thanks for playing though.

Once again, We can disagree without calling each other names, ok asshairs?

Don't need a harness or a rope when you are 4 feet off the ground. FYI - those are cookies read the caption. There is no excuse for the gaiters. Really. At least he isn't wearing rock shoes with gaiters.

Down with E-bay!!!! FYI - E-bay postings suck. Thanks for your time.

I managed to get through a nasty storm on Saturday night and I stayed reasonably dry. Condensation is awlays going to be a concern in a bivy. I use a Bibler bigwall. The Todd-Tex fabric does a nice job distributing the moisture build up from condensation on the top of the sack, but the bottom is yout tripical coated nylon which gets pretty wet.

sounds like a chop-battle brewing.

It's not the government's job to regulate everything. That's why we are where we are now. Myabe a better solution would be to only buy products from environmentally responsible companies. It will be a bitch to make a waterproof breathable hemp softshell jacket, but I'm sure they will figure it out. Maybe the real solution is to reduce consumption instead of asking the government to add taxes and penalties. The companies would just pass on the added cost to the consumer. How do you convince a society that they eat too much of everything and that they could do without a whole lot? I haven't got a clue. I like to eat a lot of everything too.

oops. wrong game...

Ok, owl-a-pillar to Mars, Then big mouth to Mars, bring back owl-a-pillar. Leave owl-a-pillar on IO, take herd to Mars. Leave heard on mars, come back for owl-a-pillar.

"You got a purty mouth"

How about "this is not an abandoned car"

It's fun to complain about what is happening to the environment while supporting the destruction by purchasing products that do the damage. I know, I know, we all drive small economy cars, not hulking SUV's? Does it really matter that you shit smaller on the sidewalk than other people? You are still shitting on the sidewalk. What kind of pollution was belched into the atmosphere to make the high-tech plastics that went into your beautiful Arc'teryx pack? How about those skis?

JoshK's summer training regiment... Give me a call if you need help. I will take a second in a wheelbarrow.

After reading the posts form more experienced climbers, I think you guys forgot one thing - What is dmuja's experience level? I would go out with a two man rope team, but I wouldn't recommend it to a first year climber. I certainly wouldn't recommend using a static rope to a new climber. What is your experience level dmuja? I'm assuming you're pretty new since you are asking this question. For ease of use and everything else I would recommend that you take the heavy 10.5mm X 50m rope. You already know how to use this rope (I hope) and the weight isn't that big of a deal.

IO don't think that the guards at Abu Ghraib know much at all about the GC. I think that they are just assholes. A buddy of mine spent time in the Army and told me that officers rarely know what the enlisted men are doing. So long as there are no big problems, the officers don't care. The enlisted men keep the prison population in line, so the officers don't care. The argument that the soldiers are doing what they are ordered is the first line of defense for any enlisted man when accused of wrong doing.

That's not the right attitude Josh. Until we know absolutely 100% for sure that the inmates are making as much money with comperable benefits befitting the latest reforms in the affirmative action laws can we be entirely sure that the inmates are not being exploited. Personally, I'd like to see more chain gangs.

Sorry, I didn't see the dipshit. One more thing - can we do without this "dipshit" stuff? Really, it's unnecessary. If you can't disagree with someone without calling them a name, maybe you should go back to kndergarten.

Ok, I was wrong. tomtom was serious. Just an FYI to the rest of you, adding a K&N airfilter will not add 20 horsepower to your 1986 Westfalia camper. Ok?

One more thing - can we do without this "asswipe" stuff? Really, it's unnecessary. If you can't disagree with someone without calling them a name, maybe you should go back to kndergarten.

Show me something more than a claim from the Red Cross that they are innocent. Besides that it's in the text of the Geneva Conventions. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that you are wrong in saying that it's against the GC.

Do I win a prize if I catch him?

Sorry, not my hazing, I never went to a university, but I have heard stories from frat boys and seen pieces in the news that are very similar. I ask the question: Where would you rather be in Abu Ghraib as an enemy combatant or in the custody of the insurgents?
