Sorry my German is too rusty to use. If you can translate this it may interest you. I heard one track from this on the radio in 1982 and searched for it for years. Just found a fellow in England who sent the whole album to me via Rapidshare. There should be more contemporary guitar stuff like...

Hey Stick, this has nothing to do with the tent just some interesting info. If you have an outlet mall near you that includes a Coleman store check out the Coleman exponent Cloudcroft X

-20 Pro sleeping bag. If you surf the net make sure to specify Pro series, there are other Cloudcroft models...

vishuscirquel: If you use the old Thaddeus Lake road to get to Williams my place is just past the intersection where the old rail bed road starts (across from Amesdale Lake). I've got a cable across the drive with old water bottles hanging on it. My wife and I lived out there for seveal years ...

Maybe it's just the conditions while this was being recorded but those drums are waaaay to loud. They drown out the other instruments.

Anyhow, it's been interesting to watch Rachael Z's developement over the years. She sounds more and more like her mentor Joanne Brackeen; and that's a big com...

Giving away my age with this one but I had one of the first Flashlight models; not a "Clip Flashlight", it had sleeves instead of clips. Wore out that one and bought the then new, Clip version. Wore out that one too. Rode out a good many thunderstorms and other nasty conditions in both. I'd r...

One of Rachael Z's most influential mentors was Joanne Brakeen; it definately shows in her playing. Very talented lady.

Trivia: My wife does quilting and I talked her into helping me with a Rayway quilt project. So far we've cut out everything and are about ready for final assembly. Excellent instructions (according to her). The insulation is Climashield and the skin 1.1oz/sq.yd ripstop. Actually, she's doing...

recordnerd21: No I never met him. I was born in '34. My mother knew him, of course, and had good things to say about him, especially his treatment of the band members. Life "on the road" is tough as any traveling musician knows but he tried to make it as pleasant as he could.

Cheers.

Cheers.

shadowsong1, couldn't have said it better; tasteful and mature. That's what separates her from all the wannabes and critics.

Thanks for the info but if you ever do another presentation make sure the dufus who keeps interrupting isn't around. After about the first three seconds it got really tedious.

Got a response from Ron Maok. He assumed I had left on the rubber tips ; I didn't. He says "their" poles fit. I asked him from what manufacturers. I suggested that if I have a problem others may also.

I would post a video if 1: I had a video camera and 2: if i could figure out how to post it.

I just bought one of these at the local Big5. They're now $44.95; but that's still pretty cheap. I have a Sixmoon Designs tent on order but wont get it until July so I got this one as something to use until then. I did the same and ditched the pole and sack plus the heavy steel stakes. It's abo...

I bought one of these (22 Hornet/410) in 1998 at the local Walmart for $125.00. I used it at my remote cabin in Canada for several years; mostly for vermin control, skunks, red squirrels, etc. and the 410 would scare most black bears away. I sold it on Guns America 4 years ago for $300.00. Wish ...

You got me, remotelyviewing; I don't see the relevance unless it's supposed to be some oblique reference to my tongue-in-cheek approach; but then, I assign to these subjects exactly the degree of levity they deserve. To wit:

I'm getting together some of my recipes for various bigfoot dishes. I ...

Just in case anyone's still around, the Akto is available from a number of suppliers here in the US. It's priced at $430.00. For those of you from other countries, that would be the total price, no extra taxes ( as long as it comes from another state to yours) and the suppliers ship it free.

Ig...

Straps. Don't discard them just so you can show off your 3oz poles. They're there for a reason; to relieve the strain from having to grip the handles tightly with each stride. Believe me, if you're using them to full advantage (up steep inclines) and you have no straps to take up the weight, a...

In case anyone's still around, this film is at least 40 years old (and it is a film, not a video). The caribou had been pretty severely injured by wolves just prior to this encounter with the bear and didn't have much strength left. The bear just happened to come upon it while it was trying to r...

As Treebeard said, "let's not be hasty"; when they say the same as a 16 oz can of beer they mean the beer and the can. Weigh a 16 oz. (net) can of beer and I'll bet it's 18oz. or very close to it.

I have one of these. Bought it in 1984 for $48.00. Who says there's no inflation.

The presenter her...

I saw her perform with Cal Tjader at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, CA in the early 70s. I went back every night until they left. Nobody, including myself, was paying much attention the Tjader's vibes, we were all hypnotized by her performance. That includes Howard Rumsey the club manager.

Your welcome. At 11oz. this is a great jacket. And, would you believe, you can actually access the pockets while wearing your pack harness. Little details like that mean someone was thinking about wearing it for purposes other than crawling the mall.

Cheers

dieselrunner78. You've got it backwards, Poulan is one of the family of products made by Husqvarna as is Johnsered. Go to Wikipedia and enter Husqvarna and you can get all the info on who owns what. It's pretty interesting.

Your welcome. I have the Thermawrap jacket. I always carry it regardless of what the weatherman says; at 9oz why not? Also, given my age, ultralight is not an option but a necessity if I want to continue backpacking and doing extended day hikes. I found that by taking out a second mortgage on ...

Yikes!! I got taken. I bought one in January at a Golite sale here in the Denver area and paid $70.00. But that's better than $150.00. Nice pack. I use it mostly for extended cold weather day-hikes (with and without snowshoes) when I have to carry some extra bulky clothing. For some really int...

For anyone interested in ultralite packs you should look at Sixmoon Designs as well as those listed here. I have both a Golite Jam and a Sixmoon Traveler. I much prefer the Traveler. It weighs 30oz. complete with aluminum stays and fully adjustable suspension, hip belt pockets and huge outside me...
