  10. Keep in mind the Quark is a very versatile tool, and its swing varies by what modular components one chooses. For steep ice: no hammers, pick weights (additional $$ from stock configuration), trigrests WITH the trigger and the grip installed AND 3m shaft tape make the best pure ice tool I have swung. Very nice and very accurate swing. But try it without hammers and pick weights and not so much.
  11. Howdy Keenwesh, hope you are well!! As for the 2228, I have found one can really stretch it just shy of tearing and a much thinner and tighter wrap is applied; seems lighter to me than a more relaxed application tension. Almost forgot: carefully wrap the shafts so as to minimize overlap between turns and that will also save weight
  12. Hey Fairweather! Point is there is a big campaign in Utah and Idaho and Wyoming to "return" Federal lands to the "rightful" owners according to the "correct" reading of the Constitution (one which I would add, not ONE court has accepted over many years and many attempts). So there actually IS a constitutional issue here: crackpot armchair lawyers, rabble rousers, tea party idiots and conservative "journalists" raising the constitution any time it serves their ideological purpose (despite the actual legal claim being totally bogus). But the bottom line is the big $$$ investors and industry and corporate interests who back this campaign to serve their own greedy ends. Or put another way false patriots preaching sedition (as in the recent governor's candidate in the Wyo GOP primary--Taylor Haynes--who announced he would have state law enforcement officials arrest ANY federal employee out on federal lands) while wrapping themselves in idiotic interpretations of the constitution.
  13. Fine, just don't whine when your favorite non NPS mountain range is cut, mined and/or drilled and filled with yahoos and their ORV's and garbage.... Feel like the anti-wilderness, anti-environment angle IS a big part of the story if not THE story. Then there's the guardians of the constitution angle. I mean it is SUCH an injustice and constitutional violation to have to walk into the local FS office and get a permit. Sheesh I feel like my basic human rights are totally violated when I have to go get a woodcutting permit. Nevermind when I have to get a group permit to lead my den of cub scouts up there.
