I have a Mountain Hardware Trango 2 tent w/ footprint that I will sell you for $200. It's a couple years old, but I have only used it on backpacking trips about 4-5 nights total. It is a bombproof tent. PM or email me if you're interested.

This BEAUTIFUL 4x4 is still available if anyone is interested.

I am helping my friend sell her explorer and I figured somebody out there might be looking for a 4-wheel drive vehicle to pick up for less than $2000. Here are the details: 1992 four-wheel-drive Ford Explorer XLT. It is a black 4-door, 5 speed manual transmission that has 238,000 miles on it. Asking $1,800 O.B.O. It is in great running order with no mechanical problems and the body is straight (no rust). The interior is clean and looks good (non-smoker, no pets), with only a few issues (cracked center console, broken knob on heater switch). It has been well maintained and is being sold by the original owner. It has power windows, power locks, privacy glass, running boards, and whatever else comes with the XLT model. The muffler has a hole in it, so you might want to get that fixed, or not. A great car for winter driving, logging roads, getting over the passes, etc. That's everything I know about the car. Blue book is $2,400, but she wants to sell it--so make an offer. Email or PM if you are interested and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I live in the Snoqualmie area but work in Seattle, so I'm happy to meet up with you in the greater Seattle area. My cell # is 206.228.2117.

I'll buy it. I sent you a PM.

I just got a rocket box at the REI g-sale, and now I need to figure out how to mount it to my car! Somebody gave me two Yakima crossbars, so I guess I just need some Yakima towers that fit on the raingutters on my car? Maybe Thule towers would work too? I don't know, I'm new to the yuppie rocket box thing. Oh, if it makes a difference, I drive an '87 chrystler lebaron w/ gutters. If you have anything (towers, advice, etc) let me know. I'd be interested in anything that works (not too concerned w/ aesthetics...the car takes care of that.) Cheers!!

The skis and bindings are sold. I still have the boots. ASKING $90.00.

180cm Dynafit Tour Lite Tech Randonnee skis mounted with 2003 Dynafit Tri-Step bindings and brakes (second generation). Used for a couple runs -- in LIKE NEW condition with a brand new full tune from pro-ski. The whole set-up (skis/bindings/brakes) is SUPER lightweight, about 6lbs total (that's like 3lbs per foot ). Dynafit TLT All Terrain boots, mns 9. In Great shape, only scuffed on the insides from boot rub, used around 20 days. See photo. Asking $400.00 This is a great package for somebody interested in rando rally stuff, or somebody looking for a good ski mountaineering set up or lightweight touring rig! PM me or email at mordwand /at/ hotmail /dot/ com. Some pics of the gear:

THESE ARE STILL FOR SALE, SKIS + BINDINGS = $350.00

BUG-- I might be interested? What size and what condition are the parka and pants?

Dr. C, When I first read that they were selling for $99 bucks at Life-Link.com I thought "oh, crap!" But I see that that's all straightened out. Hopefully somebody will realize that $150.00 bucks is a good deal. I might be able to scrape up a pair of in the box and shiny TLT Tech binders to add (if you don't already have them) for an additional $200 (for a total of $350), let me know. And yes, I have skied skis like this (same model), in fact that's all I ski at the moment. They're great, probably especially when the snow is less than perfect (thus, "in time for spring," i.e. hard snow mornings, corny/slushy afternoons, strange evenings). Sure, they don't have the limosousine dampness of my favorite alpine board (which I might enjoy if I had perfect conditions), but then again I have lighter, softer boots when I'm in the backcountry, so it's nice to have a lighter and softer ski -AND- I have to carry them (on my feet or my back) up any hill that I want to go down, and that's when they're MONEY! So, that's my nickle's worth.

These are super light weight (4.5 lbs !!) skis that are perfect for spring touring (i.e. leaving your friends in the dust on the climb!). Brand new and shiny! Asking $150.00, obo. Dynafit "Lite Tech" 180cm, must be mounted w/ dynafit bindings (why else would you buy light skis if you're just going to put 4lbs of bindings on them?). They're "on sale" at www.life-link.com (under "specials") if you want to check them out.

180cm Dynafit Lite Tech skis (4.5lbs), new in factory wrap. Dynafit TLT binders w/ brakes, new in box. It's unmounted and shiny ! I'll sell for $425.00 OBO. Let me know if you're interested.

I'd pay $46.78 +/- for both of them.

It's also all about classical and operant conditioning. I'm pretty sure there are good physiologic explanations for making control of basic autonomic functions a learned response. If it's framed in new age rubric, well that may help some and hinder others, but physiologically it's the same thing.

I'd also be interested in buying a 0 and a 1, PM me if you're willing to part with yours.

FYI: Biofeedback isn't your body adapting to new environments. Biofeedback is learning to gain volitional control over certain aspects of your autonomic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that usually functions automatically, i.e. blood vessel dilation, heart rate, digestion, etc). There are different techniques and technologies that help people learn to do this. It's used medically for lots of different things. Of interest to climbers would probably be that people have learned to dilate and/or constrict blood vessels in their extremeties, warming up surface temps. of one hand 5-10 degrees while the other stays a normal temperature, all w/out muscle contraction. But before all you alpine climbers get too excited, I think there are some limitations, one being that it requires being calm, meditative and relaxed...which is hard to do when you're gripped on a climb. Might be useful at a bivi though? If you're interested, I think it's technically considered part of psychophysiology.

There's a WFR course I'm taking up at silver lake (north of bellingham) in two weeks. Check with the Whatcom County parks dept. (google it) to see if there are spots still open. It aint cheap though.

minx, Where was it stolen from? That'd help us keep an eye out for it in the near future. (i.e. reader boards, ebay, etc) Like others here, I'm a gear slut, so I tend to keep close tracks of used gear for sale in my neighborhoods.

Dynafit "TLT All Terrain" randonee boots. In good shape, about 20 days of skiing on them. Asking $150.00. Need to raise money for next quarter's tuition! Email mordwand@hotmail.com or pm me with any questions.

How about $500 and I'll throw in some almost brand new Ascension skins? (I think I may have used them once?) Somebody buy this setup, it's SWEET, and I gotta pay for tuition next quarter!! Please!!

Only up, huh? You must be in super shape!?

They are the subsequent. The first generation (01/02) had trouble with the toe piece (you had to add a little rubber thingy, post-production) which they fixed in this model by allowing it to pull up and lock-out when in touring mode (with a yellow mark identifying that it is in the locked position). The pincer-lever arms geometry in this model was brought in slightly (a few mm) from the TLT, which they say makes stepping and locking into the toe-pieces much easier on the Tri-step than the TLT.

Price has been reduced to $175.00. Buy them with the Dynafit skis/bindings I have listed and I'll give you a package price of $675.00. Buy this stuff, you'll like it!
