I spent 40,000 on the 3 different jackets i bought this year! Which is the price of one new season's one! and before that I've only had 2 jackets in the last 7 years (including 3 and a half full seasons). I still think I've got some way to go before I match Kuma for bargain-happy buying! Bye the way Kuma, want to sell me a pair of those leather googles, just to wind FT up! (again, the 2 pairs of googles I have now have both seen use for the last 6 years, and cost less than 5000 yen each). Ultimately we are all grown ups (just about) so we can spend our money as we like... If I see a bargain now, I will buy it to save money in the future, when that bargain may not be around.

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 130 000 yen???? a major miscalculation there FT --- he only spent 40 000 yen on his jackets Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 MY point is that people are buying all the gear but the stuff they need to get to all these places that they are talking about. Ive stayed away from buying skis, and clothing so that I can actually buy the things I know that I will need. Here is a list of what I want some people to carry this season if they are going 4 hours off the back or more. First aid kit (i cant be the only one to always pack this) Avalache testing stuff come on why do I have to be the one with it. Crampons and an Axe. I dont want to be turned back because of this. ropes to build an E-sled again why does it only have to be me. Things that you should be looking for more than jackets that do the same thing. down or light wieght clothes for your pack (this stuff will save your life, for certain with the thin shells that people are packing. Hot packs again anthoer small thing but it saves lives. Sac and other sites get a way better rate on shipping than we can get by ourselves. If you intend on leaving everything you aquire has to fit on a plane or into a container (box) the price will be very high. Link to post Share on other sites

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 i always carry first aid stuff with me - but i'd like to upgrade and get some more stuff to add into that, i think that's very important. i don't have avi testing stuff, i want to do the course and check that out. i'm not buying an ice axe or crampons until i actually think i can use them ---- need more experience with smaller stuff/easier climbing terrain first. so i'll see how i go this season, on that front.

Fattwins 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 im not wound up at all but there is a big difference between needing something and not needing something. For example The rossi fs scratch is a horrible ski when matched up to the PE. To buy a ski that is built as crappy as it is blows my mind. There is a reason why they were going so cheap and had so many left over. They are noddles and made out of bloody cheap foam. Rossihas to put metal inserts into their skis to stiffen them up, when they do this the ski tends to then get bent. Im trying to hammer home something without picking on people but look at your budgets. make a budget of what you need and or what you want. buy a Camera instead of a few things that heck you seriously dont need.

quattro 1 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'm at the point where i refuse to buy some of this stuff any more. If i include all the stuff i have in storage there would probably be enough gear to mount a small expedition any where in the world. Like fats said you cant take it with you. I try to keep just enough stuff. But a friend will get me back in the climbing thing again and I'll add another set of cams or some thing to the list. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 well don't worry no one is asking you to ride it. i know quite a few riders who use this ski in the park and pipe and they like it --- and i want to learn more this year. anyway, i'm finished buying skis, i don't need anymore than that, i've got my everyday all mountain ski, my fat pow ski and a park ski. how many flippin skis do you have?!!!! just boots to pick up now, and they are ordered for me to compare and try. and i've still got money in the bank to pay what i owe at home. if i make progress this season and i need more gear to get to bigger places, then i'll buy it. i don't have a lodge, a wife, a child... that's why.

Fattwins 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 My skis are bought over many seasons. usally one per plus freebies that i then pass on or sell. Yes I have a family but guess what I have the gear to get me where i want to go. Why are you bringing that up. Dont get angry at me cause the rossis are crappy skis. Link to post Share on other sites
