    What happened to Salomons?

    FWIW, I have purchased several pairs of XT Wings over the last few years. Mostly because they are the most comfortable distance hiking shoe I have ever worn. I have yet to find their equal. There are not many shoes that I can walk all day in rocky and uneven terrain for days at a time and never...

    Drunk posts! Who makes them?

    As a half an enthusiast we will give you half the credit. I try to avoid the drunken posting but it's not always feasible.

    Your biggest fear.

    Since you asked... I think you're making something out of nothing. I've used wizards for years, and have plenty of friends that have been long time throwers of either Wizards or KC Aviars. None of us have had to go to extreme measures to obtain desirable discs. Some runs may be more preferable...

    2011 Ice Bowls: Share Your Experience

    Ice Bowl in Portland was pretty low key but really fun. I brought a flat of canned food from costco that I immediately exchanged for some Ice Bowl Pale Ale when I showed up. Best part was that it was homebrew I was not expecting much from that actually turned out really good. I ended up getting...

    Grip vs Mahal

    To the point of the original subject line, it seems hard to compare the Grip and Mahal Directly because they are not really comparable in size, capacity or pricing. For those that have had the Grip and deemed it too small, you must truly want to be able to carry a ton of shit. The Grip so far...

    New Bag Company - Grip Equipment

    Lifetime Warranty. You shouldn't have to spend any time dicking around with it, just send Justin a photo and he should replace it. The design and functionality of this bag is on another level than any other product available. It's the best, no question. On the other hand, the materials and...

    What happened to Salomons?

    Well for one, that is a pretty big advantage if you are implying that Keen won't honor their warranty after 4-5 months. For another, thanks for telling me that what I stated as my opinion is absolutely wrong. I'm still sticking with it anyway until most of the evidence I see no longer supports...

    What happened to Salomons?

    Good question. I don't really know the whole answer but here's maybe a piece of it. A local golfer used to be a Solomon rep and as a result had lots of DG events in the area sponsored by Solomon. He now works for Keen, and since then Keen has been doing the partnerships with local events...

    New Bag Company - Grip Equipment

    I did that, as well as put 2 champ gators sticking halfway out of the quiver overnight. Glad I did both. I use water bottle holsters for a bunch of different stuff anyway. Various size water and beer containers, towel storage, stuff a jacket in there, etc, so might as well stretch it out a bit...

    New Bag Company - Grip Equipment

    I dunno. I'm only planning on carrying one in the quiver also so I guess we'll find out. I'm not too worried about it since it's something the warranty would cover if it turned out to be a design flaw leading to failure. Unrelated to the above, it looks like there are more pencil pockets on the...

    That's of minimal importance in these parts but I feel ya anyway. :mrgreen: The answer is probably stuffed under the rainfly.

    New Bag Company - Grip Equipment

    Looks awesome, rides well. Couple quick observations right off the bat: - Mini marker fits in either of the pouches outside the bottom of the side pockets where the bottom of the stool/umbrella goes. A simple suggestion: in future production runs an additional slash pocket could be added over...
