avalanche transceivers mysteriously $299 for every new model.

 

No Shit! This really pisses me off. Talk about anti-trust! I can see where the Tracker might cost a bit more, but the Pieps and Ortovox are basically just simple transceivers! Wow, what technology! Major research $$$ to be recouped!

 

Good post Iain. madgo_ron.gifmadgo_ron.gif

1.Cost of housing in the PNW

2.Cost of autos(new is worse than used )

3.Good quality organic food

4.Every sport I took up as a child has become popular and the cost of doing them now is extreme(hummm this explains why I have no bank account just debt. Oh well on my death bed I will not not regret having not lived to the fullest)

5.CD's ( I burn other peoples to save $ for fun)

6.Good quality tea and coffee

The list could go on but why. We have to do what we enjoy and that is that. Like a good friend in Vanderhoof said once of the Canadian economy. Its fucking fucked but ya just have to go on livin' like its yer last day and enjoy it. cool.gif

ever bought gas in England or France? Gas is dirt cheap here, even at $1.80.

Perhaps you are correct and gas should be more expensive than it is? If the price of gas factored in all of the hell that we must go through to get it, as well as environmental damages involved, it would be significantly more expensive! What monetary price should we put on war, the loss of human life, oil spills, etc...
