[Texascavers] Fwd: Bomber Gear site launch

Folks, Bomber Gear is back! For new folks, they made what some of us considered to be the best knee pad out there. They are not selling online right now but I have emailed with the owner and he assures me they are coming soon. He also says he has some left from the old days if you need one right

Nico, Stefan did not mean Bomber Gear, their stuff is ready now. Just so happens Kayak gear is a MUCH larger market than Caving Gear. Joe On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 11:54 AM, Nico Escamilla wrote: > All > > Bomber Gear has been trying to make a comeback for a few years now.. soon > they keep sayin

Re: [Texascavers] Fwd: Bomber Gear site launch

I was SUPEREXCITED to see this...I love Bomber Gear kneepads! However, I called them back in January '09 b/c there wasn't any caving gear available on their website, and they said knee/elbow pads would be ready by April of that year. So I'm a little bit cynical, but hopefully they will be up and r

[Texascavers] Blair Pittman Sighting - Video on WFAA in Dallas

Watching the news Sunday night, I saw Blair Pittman and the local and legal concerns about expanding drug cartel activity into previously untouched areas, like Terlingua and Big Bend NP. Glad to see Blair is doing well. We missed seeing him a couple of years ago during spring break, due to

Re: [Texascavers] Is this noteworthy ?

Was it used literally to start fires, or is that a metaphorical meaning? Also, was this the original look of the tool, or did some teenager alter the fire starter as a joke. I see these types of "jokes" in public restrooms all the time... On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 11:00 AM, Gill Edigar wrote: >

Re: [NMCAVER] WNS and what to do when it reaches NM

Unfortunately, WNS is a primary reason why conventions shouldn't be held in the West, specifically in New Mexico at this time or anytime in the near future. It seems bad enough to go back east and have to decontaminate before caving again here. How about worrying about hundreds of cavers,

Re: [NMCAVER] WNS and what to do when it reaches NM

That non-convention NM arguement is interesting. By now you have probably heard that WNS is confirmed in western Oklahoma - not far, therefore, from New Mexico. And if it's coming in at that latitue, it means hibernation sites for sure at this end and way sooner than anticipated. It also mea

Re: [NMCAVER] WNS and what to do when it reaches NM

Carl, As an easterner (member of the Boston Grotto, but speaking for myself) on your list, I absolutely agree. I do cave out west, and recently, with increasing frequency. Those of us who do, do have a full second set of gear, located in a separate portion of our house (and yes, in a clean

Re: [NMCAVER] WNS and what to do when it reaches NM

Dave, Thanks for your solutions to the WNS problems and speaking of encouraging caving travel. If we cavers can handle ourselves, we can also manage WNS. I don't think we have to give up the idea of a NSS Convention in NM. We do need to ask questions of and seek advice from others who are
