My Locale Mid-Atlantic
About Me My wife and I are originally from MI. We've lived in VA now for 5 years now and really love the area. I'm been an avid backpacker for about 20 years or so. After my first week long trip carrying #60 I started down the lightweight road. I like to make some of my own gear when I can. We love to travel and hike. I've been a designer all my adult life, primarily in the automotive industry but the last 5 years in aerospace.

I wouldn't say they're fun, but they are enjoyable. I almost always bring a couple cigars, usually Romeo Y' Julieta, and some alcohol. Could be wine, whiskey, or Guiness. They're...

I agree, not a nice thing to do. I think many companies do this though. I'd write an email to REI and see what they say. Let us know if you get any response. I too have been an REI member...
