wrench Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Can you use it at World Wraps or the espresso stand outside? I do like the chopstick idea though -- that's brilliant! I mean just what every outdoor enthusiast needs! A perfect compliment to that $100(?) picnic set. And for only $20. Shit, snag some disposable ones from a take-out joint and you've got less weight and kindling to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put duct tape on one side of the hole and spread seam glue on the othe. when the seam glue dries take off the tapeand voila! good as new. I've used it on gore-tex pants, boots, bivy sacs, booties. I'd be lost without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT_B Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 My girlfriends parents bought two overpriced yuppy mountain bikes at REI. A couple weeks later some A-hole ripped off the bikes, so they went back and bought two more new bikes. The cool part is they used my card!!!! I think my girlfriend needs a new rope.

Alpine_Tom Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 They used to have this cool backpacking espresso machine. You should probably have one of those before you go spending money on the chopsticks. Or, those heart-shaped Valentine biners. Are they in the outlet website yet?

dan_e Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 "the pine candle sounds nice, or maybe a Gramicci Cotton t-shirt...hmmmm..maybe some Chukar Cherries, or a little something from the Art Wolfe store" That's a good one Allison! I used to be so anti-REI, until I gave in. Hey you can't really blame them, they are successful and there are people who want to buy that crap. We all know the sell some decent gear and hell you can't beat that return policy! I am happy to say I used my dividend to buy a pair of 5.10 Spire rock shoes and a spacious two-man, three season Mountain Hardware tent for car camping, ect. Long live the evil corporate giants of WA (REI, MICROSOFT and of course STARBUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!) Dan E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrench Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Agreed. things could be worse: we could live in a city where the best outdoor outfitter is Big 5. Trying not to get off-topic, you could use the dividend to climb THE PINNACLE. [ 02-25-2002: Message edited by: wrench ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Wrench, If you're serious about the plastic boots check out www.barrabes.com. Save big money over REI or anyone else. I've been waiting to get a new pack. Got my small dividend and large credit card rebate. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnHigh Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I too have fallen prey to the jaws of REI by spending hard earned $$$ on REI brand shitware. However, I'm going to redeem myself by spending my dividend on REI's latest line in hot apparel called REI-Secret. The perfect gift for the lady, REI-Secret offers a line of under garment delicacies that only the decadent mind can appreciate. I’m out of hear. Jantzen Beach here I come.

hikerwa Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I used mine to fortify my guide book library. And buy all those books I wouldn't normally buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 We're gonna have a kid real soon, so we're gonna buy a bunch of that Kiddy fleece shit so our youngun looks like a Seattle Shit Factory. Seriously, anything I would buy at this point from REI would never get used for at least 5 years from now. PS: Climbing gear for sale, all types.

vegetablebelay Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I'm only gettin' about 55 bucks back and I'm having the same trouble. I'm thinking about books also, but maybe gaiters, or superfeet insoles. I could use some ideas too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to be able to simulate that "four days in the mountains" odor, w/o having to go through the formality of actually climbing anything. My girlfriend would be so impressed!

chucK Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 What I would suggest would be to wait until July and get CASH back, then you can do what you want with it. But...if that dividend is burnig a hole in your little pocket I have checked through the catalog and have these suggestions (These items are actually featured in the catalog. I am not making these up.) A North Face Duffel Bag (on sale) only $100 SealLine Waterproof Electronic Gear Cases GSI Vortex Blender (travel blender!)to go with your$120 Coleman Stainless-Steel Cooler finally, you reall need a Snow Peak Titanium Spork, only $11 I'm so glad that REI Coop is looking after my desires to keep climbing gear available.

Dru Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 You coulda bought a copy of Flare magazine up here for I think $6.95. Its the CDN edition so that woulda been some international Flare all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrench Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Do they make a titanium wasabi dish? I'd prefer one with a sticky rubber base to prevent slippage. Oooh and teflon for easy cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
