I think everyones donations to Don are great! Made me love these forums to be honest and the communit. I came into these forums along the time that this was all happening. Gathered some of my gear myself to see what I didnt need for him… Before I could donate anything… everyone totally trumped what I could ever donate..
ie my 6 pound 2 man tent, One of my 5 pound sleeping bags ect.
I am wondering if there is is a need for some to have a forum list for "discount gear" by members. Stuff they can afford to get rid of and that maybe not be in the best of shape.
You guys gave Don a ton of stuff that would take me a year to obtain. I think thats amazing.
But sometimes there are those that are willing to give some sort of monetary purchase to equipment that isnt "top notch anymore" However at the same time… repairable and way better than what we have.
Great luck to him btw! Hope you have an awesome trip! I can tell you lucked out and entirely appreciate everyones offers!
This place reminds me of a bunch of people living in the woods… and sharing to help their fellow man survive.. Brilliant to me!
