Gear up like a Goat !

The Mountain Goat is the symbol of sure-footed toughness, perfected over evolutionary millenia. Any climber who has ever ventured into the Rockies and witnessed this majestic animal on its home turf can attest to their superior adaptation.

It is for this very same reason that my favorite adventure gear store, Backcountry.com (http://www.backcountry.com/), proudly brands itself with the goat symbol.





Backcountry.com only sells gear and clothing that stands up in the toughest environments. If their staff of gear experts decides that a product is worthy of the Goat stamp-of-approval, then it is most likely worthy of mine and yours, too. But, just in case they get it wrong, they back their claims with a unconditional, money-back guarantee, and they actively seek consumer feedback in one of the most progressive customer-service programs in the industry.

Where's Mike ?

I prefer to go places where I can't be reached by cell, but since the advent of embedded GPS receivers, I have discovered another use for my Blackberry "Smart Phone" (I also used it off-trail as a flash light once when the sun went down way too fast).

Adding this handy GPS tracking utility to my BB allows me to periodically send and publish my location, when I don't mind civilization knowing where I am.
