"Lighten your footprint on the earth by lightening the load on your back"
Tim, I left some feedback in the gallery section for my quilt.
I run a small web hosting business and I'd be happy to register your chosen name and point it to your existing site. That way, when you find a better template system or webs.com bite the dust, you don't lose your trading name, we just point your domain name to your new website host. It's yours forever.
tmoutdoors.com is ok, but I'm sure you'll come up with something catchier with the help of BPL members. Try thinking of something which is kinda descriptive, but can be shortened to memorable initials. Gossamer Gear is a good example, everyone remembers GG and what it stands for.
Tim Marshall Trail Gear – tmtgear.com for example
i will take you up on that Rog, now to find the name. This discussion has gone on for some time with me all over the place. I have a name i would like to put out there and see what you think. Again, i am not going to get to hung up on the name, but it is fun so here goes.
enLIGHTened equipment
my wife thinks it's a little too Buddhist monk but agrees that it is the best so far. thoughts? suggestions?
and the .com is avail which is important to me.
ee, or 2e or e2 are all possible stick in your head options as rog pointed out about gg.

I like it. Makes this fit even better!

i was thinking, "smarter gear, lighter packs" But thats not important.
I have had the term enlighten in my head for over a year, i just teamed it with equipment the other night and think i'm getting close to where i want to be.

"i was thinking, "smarter gear, lighter packs""
Short, simple. The easiest to remember. Mine's a bit long actually, but I decided to throw it out there anyway!

Ah grasshopper, when you are able to make the patterns from ricepaper without scissors, it is time to leave. ;-)
I like it.
A nice logo on your gear. N-Li-10. :)
Mike, thats sick! I like it.

TMG!!!… TimMarshalGear.com
or
tmg.com… As in Tim Marshall Gear!
Either way it sticks out in your mind and your name's all over it! And, you could have a subtitle… something witty… that indicates what kind of gear you specialize in. after a while people will know just by reputation like when they see "MLD" or "GG" and "GVP."
Didn't read some of the earlier name suggestions. So, sorry if it's already been mentioned.
Hmmmmm. I love the simplicity of Kendall's suggestion. You could always mix the two.
TimMarshallGear, for the enLIGHTened backpacker (or traveler or whatever). Get someone artistic to make you a logo of a budda-type dude wearing a backpack and holding trekking poles.
then either tmg.com or timmarshallgear.com would work (should probably get both and have them point to the same site).
Gosh, ain't brainstorming about the most fun you can have at the computer!
TMG not so different than TMO -Tim Marshall Outdoors, as i currently have it.

NLI10.ME is available.
The .me registry has a more personal flavour to it than the .com commercial registry I think.
Just a thought.
Ha, how about you have a secondary site selling guns and grenades and it could be called NiL8.me

Here are some COOL items that Tim Marshall made for me. The fit is perfect, the craftsmanship is beautiful, and the weights are great (7.4 oz for the infant, 9.2 oz for the toddler). The bags are Climashield XP. They have a cinch 6" above the bottom to shorten the bags but extend them as kids grow. Henry and Lily used these on a trip last weekend and they were PERFECT! Let me also say that Tim was great to work with, helping me through my endless questions and modifications. All of the items turned out better than expected- I couldn't be happier! Thank you Tim!!!
Henry also has a custom TMOutdoors poncho/tarp- cool stuff! 
Haha, that is so awesome!
Cool Doug! Now there are some satisfied customers, especially the little one!! =-) Love that first pic. Good to see you are teaching them to appreciate sleeping bags early on.
I gotta say – NICE work Tim and continued nice job to Doug for pushing his kids in the right direction and making good gear available to them so they can better enjoy their experience.
Doug,
Very excited to see how well everything is working out. Did you also post on the original kid's bag thread where these bags have also been discussed. I already made another kid's bag (actually a quilt this time) and want people to know these are available, and much lighter than the other kid's bags out there.
Also, can i use these pics on my site?
How does the poncho hood fit? the rest looks a little big yet.
-Tim
Those are pretty awesome pics. So does the little Gaffer use the Z-pack?
Tim,
If you're not already doing so (can't tell from any pics) you should decide on your name and sew a small, relatively inconspicuous tag on each product with that tag (and I'd put the website address on each tag as well).
FWIW.
The newer (but older), kidless (unless you count the puppies), east coast Doug
Doug,
I agree and eventually will do that. Right now i am only making a few hundred bucks a month doing this. Not enough to order a bunch of tags at this point.
