Are you sure you don't just like Nike because they're the home town team? And even though I couldn't put my finger on it earlier, it all makes sense now: Sharp is a swimmer - I knew I liked him! Mac bashes swimmers - I knew...

Back to clothing... I've been really impressed with Mountain Hardware stuff. By far the most duarble outdoor clothing I own is MH.

Yeah Mountain Hardware is great, although thats local to the Portland Area also since Mountain Hardware is owned by Columbia Sportswear. So I guess I might have a bias to that especially since my mom works for Columbia Sportswear.

No I've always like Nike. Good stuff but overpriced is my only problem. I have boughten a ton of shoes from Nike. I have like 3-4 pairs of Jordans (2, 18.5, 19, and maybe some other series, they are all worn out and non existent, I don't collect shoes!!! ), a pair of Air Vicks (suede, man... suede... also worn out and non-existent), 1 pair of Monster Shocks (in decent condition), 1 pair of TL3 Shocks, and probably some other Nikes that I've forgotten about.

For the time being I'm wearing Pumas. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

(Not to mention my Dad has like 3-4 pairs of different Air 360s, WTF?!?!?!)


<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Have you questioned if I was a swimmer before?

And Mac shouldn't be bashing on swimmers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Especially me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


MH makes some very good out door gear. I currently don't own anything from them, though. Mostly because I don't like fleece jackets.

I also like Marmot. I would were my Marmot Gravity Jacket... if it wasn't in dark blue. They don't come in earth tone colors. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

What are you talking about Mac, I now Sharps name <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
As far as jackets go, Carharrt all the way!
Although recently they have products made in Mexico <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

my friend is on the swim team.
it does get you in shape...
and you do look like a swim team kind of person.
I'd like to see mac swim a few miles... then see what he has to say.

I can swim a few miles, I am a strong swimmer.

I swim in the middle of lake erie all the time.

Its just I wouldnt join the swim team. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I can pull (with a pull- buoy) a mile in about 14-15 minutes maybe less. I quit swimming about a year ago.

I hate distance swimming and meets took up all my weekends.


Cloak,

Man, I seen like..uhh.. an orange... his aura or what ever, I seen it... giveittomenow!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

..

13 laps in my little 3' deep pool!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

yeah dude... I just felt like siding with sharp in hopes I'd catch you at something you weren't good at... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
if you want the truth.

I'm not good at spelling or baseball or basketball or electronics.

Odd that this shelter building thread has become something not involving the building of shelters....

man... I can kinda spell... if I don't type to fast.
electronics??
maybe if I have directions...
alright good!
I have some knowledge now.
I will become the best speller and electronic (basketball and baseball aren't my thing) wizz I can!

Let's be serious for a second. 14*60/16.5 = <51 seconds per 100 for a 1650. I don't think so, even pulling. FYI, 14:27 is the NCAA record for the 1650. My guess is that you pull a mile in roughly 20 minutes.
