I was in REI on Friday and they’re selling that thing. Like you say, Josh, it doesn’t look very useful.

I second the cheap multi-tool comments. I have a Gerber Vise, real little guy, pretty much worthless as anything but a keychain.

That’s right, Deb – a good pair of wool / SmartWool socks is gold! I have a pair of Gore-Tex Merrells and, as good as they breathe, if I wear cotton socks my feet will still get damp. With wool socks, my feat stay warm and dry.

Every year, I receive at least a few cheapo little flashlights and a pocket knife or two for Christmas, and they all break in no time with little use. I’d gladly exchange them all for even just one pair of good hiking socks or a new pair of glove liners. I’m so glad no one has ever gotten me a cheap tent, though. Most of them are good for not much more than camping in the backyard on a dry, windless, summer night.

Good luck with your online store, Brian!
