Yesterday I received my MLD Duomid and Wild Things hooded windshirt. Time to hit the trail.
Anyone else get new toys recently?
Nov 17, 2010 at 4:19 pm #1665406Haha yeah,
I bought a SMD gatewood cape recently that I will get to use for the first time this weekend on the Pinhoti Trail. (I bet not many of you know about that little trail : )

Nov 17, 2010 at 6:12 pm #1665461Pat, between the alti mitts and the SV bib, it looks like you have a summit bid on everest :) I was eyeballing the altis once at REI's used gear sale. Something like 50 bucks…but I didn't pull the trigger because I could never imagine a situation where I would need something that warm. They are crazy warm/bulky
Nov 17, 2010 at 6:19 pm #1665468I just got 2 Gossamer Gear backpacks a gorilla and a minipoza and a the one tent
Nov 17, 2010 at 6:29 pm #1665474I got them for $159.99 so i just could not say no. Being new to extensive outdoor trips in the winter i figure i had better be over prepared as apposed to under. I would like to do a multi day presidential traverse amongst other trips in the whites this winter and i dont wanna have to stay home cuz it is to cold or the weather is crap. I may not be climbing Everest anytime soon as i dont quite have 50 g's to pay so i can play! I however will do stuff like mckinley, Aconcagua, Rainier and stuff of that sort. Figure the whites is a good place to get my feet wet first. Plus i run cold like real cold.
Nov 18, 2010 at 12:50 pm #1665697I got a SteriPEN adventure Opti. Won't get to use it for a few months yet.
Nov 18, 2010 at 2:55 pm #1665753I just ordered a dixon double bivy from Oware. Woohoo!
Nov 18, 2010 at 3:19 pm #1665759Just received my MLD cuben solomid and net inner today. Looking forward to getting it out on the trail.
Nov 18, 2010 at 4:14 pm #1665783Just bought a GG SpinnTwinn and MLD Bug Bivy from the Gear Swap forum this week. And I got a GG Gorilla the day before they went on sale. Can't wait to use them.

I did however just splurge on some Salomon Deemax 2 Dry winter hiking boots. Still in the box, Can't wait to hoof it up to 13k in the snow with warm dry toes.
I also got got a Princeton Tec Byte, and I couldn't be happier with it. Only 20 dollas! think I'll write a gear review actually.
Oh and socks, new socks, mmmmmm, better than…..……Nov 18, 2010 at 8:28 pm #1665892Well today Santa (UPS) dropped off my new Cloudveil Enclosure jacket so I will be testing that out. Not the lightest jacket out there but I needed a synthetic piece. Also went and got a Black Diamond Cosmo and I love it already. Can't beat a headlamp with a dimming feature
Nov 18, 2010 at 9:17 pm #1665915I just recently ordered at 15*F Marmot Helium for a great price, also have a M.B. Alpine Light Parka on the way. Things are cool because I buy my own Christmas presents and get cash back for them!

Nov 18, 2010 at 9:54 pm #1665933Just splurged and got a Western Mountaineering SummerLite. I tried it out this weekend and it was great!
Nov 19, 2010 at 10:22 am #1666060David – We got a bunch of snow last weekend. Not in the mountains, but 8-12" all the same. Looks like Christmas around here! :D
