what a really great article and insight into a company that really turned it around. They're so iconic.
If I worked there I'd find it very hard to not surf instead of ride
And that last image just needs a tiny wingsuit going overhead to really take the piss

and then you link it up the slam he had doing it and it just resonates so hard

The cost for testing is also really appreciated, I like my spiderco delica but it's expensive to 'try' and just does not look as classy slicing salamis and cheeses

On the strength of how many pairs of those Wells Lamont gloves I've bought and gone through after your last gift guide, I'm going to look at the Opinel and the Hydras. Now if only someone could recommend a good tool roll...

A much more attractive cost than T4 Dominions with carbon levers!

to paraphrase a political researcher "I'm surprised it hasn't happened earlier".
Much better to start in at the low levels that no one pays attention to and blammo, an entire school board or trustees now completely tilted from outside money and misinformation.

Squamish First, Squamish Voices and Squamish Now have got interesting funding and anonymous facebook groups  backing. It's a trend being seen across BC now, especially in school board/trustee elections.

I have a couple of different USWE packs, the airborne9 and the patriot15 (which contains the spine protector). I really like the cross-your-heart setup which is easy to adjust and very fast to alter how much hugging you get from it- but I'll still climb with the straps unclipped and then lock in for descents. Same for snowboarding.
I'm surprised about the waist straps as the whole point for me, anyways, for these packs is to free up the waist area, so an interesting add on but I'm sure it does help with being able to easily access things. Very expensive though - I only pick them up when they're on sale.

I'm guessing you have access to hair bands - those slip straight onto the handlebar/brake levers

Great idea, thanks, completely forgot about them!

my G19 frame has no mutators which saves me some parts spec I guess - unfortunately the last owner was a little hamfisted with the allen keys so I'm looking for shock mount bolts, frame bolts etc - which I could probably figure out from a different supplier as they may be something generic that I can get somewhere else.
I finally got in contact with the North American distributor but they just order from Nicolai and then send it up here from the US so I don't really see any savings there either.

The hanger is bent and I'm not sure I got the spare rado with it, it's missing the cable guides that sit above the main pivot. I'd also probably go for some new bushings as well but again, probably sounds like a larger order from Nicolai UK to make it worth my while postage wise or wait until I can mule them over with in-laws

Where do you all source your spare parts? I'm building up a G19 and apart from directly from the source or Nicolai UK I've not seen or heard from anyone else in North America currently

So if I'm reading their site correctly, the raven double has a charger cable and port - so you only carry spares if the charge goes out in the field and you want to hot swap - otherwise you can charge the battery as per normal ?

I'm looking  forwards to hearing reviews. I'm very happy with my outbounds, but the price + replaceable batteries + it being a headlamp for multiple other uses makes this a very interesting piece of gear

Applaud the Jabroni usage.

It doesn't currently look like a great idea as you have to find clear sky and point it the area that the satellites may be - it's also not the most reliable satellite network.
But I guess the next two years data of people getting into serious trouble because they just brought their phone thinking it was enough (the same people who would use their phones for flashlights if it got dark) will show what needs to get done. Or not - because Apple Maps sure didn't/doesn't work either.
Perhaps the dataset from 2 years free usage will allow Apple to determine how much they would want to charge a subscription for to get into a decent sat network and to build the chipset to do it.

He has always been able to listen and follow up on any questions I ever asked on any aspect of the DNV not just the trail based ones. He cycled up Mtn Hwy with both kids on his cargobike one morning to discuss and walkthrough the ideas for a new route from Dempsey to the parking lot which really did impress upon me how committed he was to being able to talk with and gather thoughts of people who's actions the DNV directly affects.

Yeah they will do that for sure. I ended up lost in options trying to figure out what paint I wanted so I just did a solid colour from a vehicle I liked. But damn is it smooth compared to a factory paint job.

It gets very very bewildering when you suddenly have every option available to you.

the new woodwork going in on Lower Crippler is looking amazing
