I love how thick the scales are on the SAR. Rounder handles seem to fit me better.

That is bad news on your feet. I would trash those shoes, get some Chacos or something.

Yeah, the handles on the SAR5 are very comfy...guess I can't have it all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Funny thing about the shoes, I've logged many, many miles in them and this has never happend before. Not 100% sure what the deal is (have some guesses). Anyway, I did have some Chacos and they were good, just significantly heavier than these....the search continues <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nice. Great perspective on the s5 . I'm kinda starting to warm up to the smaller blade idea

I have been over CO including Vail. My favorite place is Ouray personally, I could live in that town forever if I could find an IT job there. Sad to hear about the beatles. Hopefully they dont destroy everything.

I have never handled the SAR5 (wanted too) but it looks like a comfortable and useful blade all around. Might have to pick one up along with the famous Ratmandu!

Nice write up on the S5 and beautiful pictures!

Great review in great country.

Perhaps next time a review of socks ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Give those feet a nice warm Epsom salts bath, and that will work wonders.

Hey, barrabas74, see some pics of Ouray that I took on my last visit!
