So was the REI policy until they finally had to change it. People would bring in boots or backpacks they had used for years and demand a refund so they could get new stuff. It got so bad they finally had to go to the 1 year max instead to curb the abuse.

In my case I have two exes that were actually mentally ill. Complete with rehab, suicide attempts, and a diagnosis. So sometimes they really are crazy (and sometimes men make really bad choices!).

Oskar Blues basically started the trend of good craft beer in cans. They do not bottle at all. Cans are better in almost every way than bottles.

If anyone tries to put anything other than meat and cheese on my pizza I will end them.

Bright Angel requires reservations and is right next to Phantom Ranch. It’s not exactly off the beaten path. I stayed there 2 nights a few years back and it was amazing. Yes, it’s less crowded than the rim but it kind of has to be considering the location.

My 4Runner is lifted an additional 3 inches. It’s even worse that way. I do the best I can but seriously getting up there and trying to clear the snow off isn’t fun at all. Even with a long handled scraper it’s extremely difficult.

I’m basically an obsessed amateur photographer with some good gear and some photogenic subjects for practice. I’d really like to make photography a business but it doesn’t pay nearly as well as my main career.

We adopted both of our dogs. One from a local shelter and one from a rescue organization.

A couple of things:

I agree that the belt sling might be the only one that is marginally useful here. The others are just stupid gimmicks. I can’t imagine a reason to ever use any of them.

This oversimplifies things quite a bit. F/8 is not equivalent across all cameras. A point and shoot camera with manual settings set at F/8 is not the same thing at all as a full frame DSLR set at F/8. There’s a reason a P&S usually only goes to F/8 while a DSLR lens will go to F/22 (or more). You really need to know…

At various points in the video (1:06 and 2:20 for example) you can clearly see the orange caution “men” well in advance of the actual cones. The Comcast guys are not at fault here. Stupid drivers are at fault.

Buy a different lens. Hacking your way around this is a dumb and overly complicated solution to an easy problem.

Total Annihilation. You missed basically the best one of all. And easily the one with the best soundtrack of all time.

Bryce that high? No. Certainly not above Olympic, Canyonlands, Arches, Redwoods, Rainier, North Cascades, and a bunch of others. Ranking Canyonlands that low just proves the author doesn’t know anything about it. It’s spectacular, huge, and uncrowded. Bryce has one awesome hike (the Fairyland loop), one pretty decent…

Just fucking no. My ‘wife’ and I are common law married and will not spend money on a wedding or any of this bullshit. It’s dumb and wasteful. We don’t get why anyone would want it. If we ever decide to get married for real it will probably be just us with someone to officiate. Doesnt’ sound romantic? We’ve been to…

I’ve done a ton of mountains in Colorado. What I mean by that is even by the standards of this crazy outdoors state I’ve done a ridiculous number (over 130 different peaks over 13k at last count). I don’t say that to brag but to make it clear that even as crazy as I am about standing on top of summits I don’t…

I can’t be the only one.

A few years ago I took my 2000 4Runner into a Colorado dealership for various work. One of the things they did was a transmission flush since the car was overdue for one. No big deal. I left the dealership and drove back to work. Near my office the car started to lose power and refuse to shift. Unsure what was…
