Get The Gear!!
This page has moved to - http://www.oocities.org/jtd7/gear.html . All future additions and corrections will be made to that page.
If your serious about outdoor adventure why settle for second best? Get the best gear you can so you can find your way to and into the remote areas where many old forts and other cool things are located.
The editor reccommends the following companies as purveyors of superior quality products and services. This is based on either a. personal experience or b. a well known and established reputation for quality and durability.
Hummer
Let's face it - if the Hummer is good enough for the U.S. Army, the U.S. Marines and Arnold Schwarzenegger - its good enough for you! Don't settle for second best - without the Hummer's superior rough terrain and off road abilities you may not be able to vist the places you want to.
Zodiac
Two words - Jaques Cousteau. If the Captian of the Calypso chose Zodiac boats for his marine expeditions all over the world - they will certainly meet your needs. Why look forlornly at a remote island? With a Zodiac in the back of you Hummer you can get there in minutes!
Mag-Lite
Simply the Best Flashlight Money Can Buy.
(Okay - a flashlight doesn't have to be this good - but don't you deserve it?)
You can't get there until you know where you are going.
L. L. Bean
Need to outfit a mountain climbing expedeition at 3AM? No problem - L.L. Bean is open 24/365 for your convienence. (They don't even have locks on their doors!) Contrary to popular belief, L.L. Bean is more than just a clothing store - they also sell the world's best outdoor hunting, fishing, hiking and camping equipment.
(They once outfitted an international Mount Everest Expedition.)
Record you exploits with a great camera.
Michelin
Michelin makes the world's best travel maps. If you get one - you'll know why.
U.S. Authentic
Need a great jacket? How about one great enough to win World War Two? U.S. Authentic sells authentic reproductions of World War Two flight jackets. Accept no substitutes!
What if your in the middle of nowhere and don't have batteries to run your radio or flashlight? Not to worry - C. Crane will be happy to sell you a hand cranked radio with a LED light attached to it. Great for Y2K! They also have a wide range of related products.
They make more than razor blades. Get a sword suitable for combat or ceremony. If they're good enough for the King of England - they are good enough for you.
