Man, I’ve been too caught up @ work trying to close up loose ends… haven’t been around here.
Thank you all for tips. I’m well aware of the beer situation. Having inlaws in Park City allows me the opportunity to visit at least once or twice a year. Generally, we send Uncle John off to Wyoming with a large vehicle the week prior.
I’ve been meaning to throw my .02 up on the MK’s.
First.. thanks for the discount. I discovered MK’s about a year ago and love them, but have a very hard time spending the full ticket price.
It seems like there is a great deal of inconsistency in their product, however. When did the OMP turn into such a flimsy khaki? My first pair of OMP’s are nearly as heavy as my pair of Alpine’s. Also, MK’s sizing is horribly inconsistent. It’s a real pain/expense to have to deal with returns when you buy online.
I would purchase 10 pairs if I knew what I was getting (was the same as what I have.)
Good feedback all, thank you.
As I mentioned, I’ve test driven a few recently. I was pleasantly surprised with the V6… under powered was not an issue.
Originally we committed to perusing Toyota & Nissan… but IMO the 4Runner (& Tacoma as well) do not offer $3000-4000 more in value over the Xterra. I’m searching for another 10 year vehicle and the Nissan seems to offer a solid no frills workhorse.
Zach, I completely agree with your observations of product offerings!
My thought process lately is that I would like to utilize a small pack on the waist (stuff nearby, but not necessarily accessed often) with a lanyard for tools and perhaps a flybox within reach somewhere.
A good portion of my time on water is within truck distance, so minimal goods needed. For those adventurous outings, I envision throwing it all in my Dakine pack for hike-ins.
As a side note… I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this site for sometime. Fairly new to the bug slinging stuff, but it’s quickly become my passion; and here in Western Mass there are some lovely waters to explore.
