Fromage Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Flipped though the latest REI catalog that came in the mail. Here are my top picks. Anyone else feel an uncontrollable urge to rush out and buy this stuff? 1. " Schwag Pocket " I suppose you could put your weed in it, but it's just a dumb hanging organizer for your tent. 2. Titanium mug, $32, 2.4oz 3. Portable hand crank blender, $70 4. Folding cooler on wheels $33 5. Rolla-Roaster Folding Barbecue Fork $30 This one is my personal favorite. 6. Folding Camp Sink, $20. Now you CAN bring the kitchen sink 7. Backpack on Wheels, $140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Is this the top ten Mountie essentials list? Wait, that is only 7 items. That blender would be great for the basecamp wet bar. Now the kitchen sink...I prefer cast iron coated with enamel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucK Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 That folding sink is actually sorta handy for backpacking, and good for the environment. You can easily do all your dish washing far from a watersource. Of course 20$ is pretty steep for collapsible bucket. You can easily make one by cutting the top off of one these 6$ jobs.

Squid Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Cheesey- Knowing your habits, you won't be safe beyond the front door without your own Personal Locator Beacon . I use one of these as a keychain...It's way better than The Clapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 One of the bullet points for the Rolla-Roaster Folding Barbecue Fork: "Be a quick draw at the fireside--the nylon ballistic cloth belt pouch keeps your fork ever at the ready!" if only they were kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 i bet it goes great with moustache, safari cap and blue blockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yes it doubles as an effective cattle prod to get people to the top of hannigan pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minx Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 i bet it goes great with moustache, safari cap and blue blockers LOOK! I'VE HAD IT W/YOU WANKERS. I'VE BEEN QUIET ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME BUT ENOUGH'S ENOUGH ALREADY! QUIT SLAMMIN MY MAN!!!! HE'S EXTRA CONCERNED ABOUT SKIN CANCER. CAN'T YOU PEOPLE LEAVE HIM ALONE ALREADY??? I MEAN THAT HAT IS THE LATEST RAGE IN PARANOID ALBINO'S TESTING THEIR PERSONAL LIMITS BY LEAVING THE HOUSE AND WALKING OUTSIDE. I THINK HE'S THE BEST. THOSE BLUE BLOCKERS MAKE HIM LOOK EXTRA MYSTERIOUS AND WE ALL KNOW MYSTERIOUS IS SEXY. YOU GUYS ARE ALL JUST DANGEROUS AND YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! I BET YOU DON'T EVEN WEAR POLYPRO UNDER YOUR JORTS! SO JUST QUIT PICKING ON HIM btw: i've seen a few rei customers whose forks i would not want to be in the way of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 hey minx i'm gonna be wearing a safari cap and blue blockers myself for the next week - but no moustache You should grow a dirt lip too. Without it you will just look like a poseur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducknut Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) Maybe Annabelle took this stuff to Everest BC? I'll be she took this. Their discription sounds pretty suggestive. "Gemini Bra achieves a fine balance between support and mobility--so throw down the crash pad and aim high!

minx Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 hey minx i'm gonna be wearing a safari cap and blue blockers myself for the next week - but no moustache dru, i'm so pleased that you are learning about being safe in the outdoors. (do you know the risks of sunburn you may face as you leave the house???) but alas, my heart belongs the original moustache man. make sure that you apply sunscreen liberally to your bald spot.

Stefan Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 This is a top ten essential too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnHigh Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I wish REI would move out of the Pearl (pdx). There is already too much yuppie stench in that neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracked Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I am a proud and staunch supporter of REI. I go to REI first, if they don't have it, I'll shop around. I support the place with the best deals. With the dividend, REI is hard to beat on a lot of stuff. For those of you with money to waste: go ahead, feel noble, and support the little guys. They need you, don't you feel an obligation?

rbw1966 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I guarantee you that even with your shitty dividend I get better deals by going to the smaller shops than you do at REI. Maybe you pay more at the little guys shops because they recognize that your a prick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badvoodoo Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I wish REI would move out of the Pearl (pdx). There is already too much yuppie stench in that neighborhood. Man, I don't even go over there. Those SUV-driving westside yuppie scum wouldn't last a second over on the east side, where they take their pain out on each other, including their gear shopping! You wouldn't stand a chance on the east side! You make me sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I'm a corporate tool too. My dividend last year was over $200. Stocking up on the seven essentials will cost ya, and you can't get that stuff at the small shops.

And why am I a prick for helping REI stay in business? The people there have families, too! You sound like Beck, chestbeating about gear prices!
