Re: November thread
Sometimes you just gotta go splurge!

Re: November thread
It is a nice Compass. Never saw a movement that worked as smooth as this one does. It stays right on it heading with out wobbling around. Since I do Orienteering and Compass quite often I thought awww...heck might as well have a nice one.
The cheaper versions work but it takes a few seconds to settle down every time you move it. This one even has a angle finder in it. Hold it pointing straight up and it gives you the angle via a arrow that moves when you tilt the compass left or right.
It was a splurge for sure. The other 10 styles I have are good for loaners.

Got a really neat Finland Made Suunoto compass with a Jewlers movement in the compass. It was pricy 84.00 but wow that needle is precission. It doesn't bounce all over the place like the cheap ones do. It has a declination . . Nice none of my compasses have ever had this.
Got 75 feet of webbing for rappelling. A new climbing/rappelling harness. Figure 8 was only 15.00 bucks so picked that up. Purchased a MSR pocket rocket and ssome Teniacious tape (really good tape that goes through many many many washings and stays put.)
Salomon 4G hiking boots. My son loves his Salomon boots. I have been wearing Scarpas for many years....so went with these pricy 230.00 wearing them to break them in.
I did run off with one of REI's loaner boot socks....opps.
Up here in KC getting some at&t refresher courses. It's ok. Don't much care for hotels.

When you said you bought an MSR pocket rocket I thought AR-15 pistol! MSR is another term for "assault weapons" means "modern sporting rifle".
REI know you by name and yell it like "Norm" (Cheers) when you walk in?

Re: November thread
I know. Sometimes you guys say some things on here that I have no clue what your talking about. My son was talking about his AR and all the parts of it and I thought he was speaking a whole new language.
MSR is a major backpacking brand good stuff. Higher end stuff.

I have the MSR pocket rocket. It's a really good burner.

Re: November thread
And on the heels of an announcement that Kaepernick will be going the free agent route next year, he's yanked in the 4th quarter today. That's after 4 passing yards and 5 sacks, against a pathetic team. He may not play again this year. Way to increase your value, man!
