Re: Re: Copy Cats vs. Fat Cats
Ah sorry, Ian... I revised my post above fearing I had gone on a tangent. Narcos, yes, but I believe most all legal products are made by ordinary businesses in Asia -- some of them owned by Americ...

Re: Sierra Nevada
Back to Sierra Nevada... We should take out one of the r's -- nobody pronounces r vs. rr differently in English -- and we are in AMERICA, no? So -- it's Siera Nevada.

BA knows and knows not??

Big Sky Ultra C Aluminum Tent Stakes

I received my pair and went on a moderate 2-hour hike today (approx. 2,000 ft. elevation gain over 2.7 miles -- then returning back down). I find the specs to be accurate, and the poles a beauty to...
