Reading Material: Off The Grid By Nick Rosen

Awesome book so far as I have just started reading it. The big surprise has been the history of the "GRID" itself - General Electric. Good stuff!

NorthFace Mountain Sneaker





2010 Edition of the NorthFace Mountain Sneaker.
I bought these at Sierra Trading Outlet August 2011 - yep, I'm cheap and look for the sales!

First impression - COMFORTABLE! These are going to replace my Nike ACG's and will be more of my day-to-day work shoe and the Teva's I just purchased will be my in-the-dirt work shoes.

Melissa Breitenfeldt - The Sharpie Judge

Because I am a Sharpie fan!...





Victory Motorcycles graphics designer Melissa Breitenfeldt created the Sharpie Judge for the 2012 Australian Motorcycle Expo. Using a 2013 Victory Judge as her canvas, she used sharpie markers to create a unique paint scheme centered around justice.

Ascent Douglas Team


Ascent Douglas Team CREATING A CLUSTER OF OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT COMPANIES

The Ascent Douglas Team is rapidly moving forward with plans to bring a contract cut-and-sew manufacturing facility to the Carson Valley. Its potential customers are the large numbers of companies that produce technical soft goods, such as backpacks, bags, tents, and the like for outdoor enthusiasts. Very few of those companies actually produce their own products, instead outsourcing their manufacturing. This often also means offshoring that work to Asia. Frequently, the projected cost savings from offshoring do not materialize and these companies are now looking for manufacturing facilities closer to home.

About Ascent Douglas Team:
Douglas County’s  “Ascent Douglas County” initiative has the planned intention of stimulating economic vitality in the county and marketing it as the preferred site for company relocations within the “Outdoor Recreation and Lifestyle” manufacturers’ arena.

Sighting Compass



























Brunton 8040G Mirrored Sighting Compass
A classic example of a trusty compass, the 8040G is a mirrored map compass with our easy-reading optic green baseplate. Tool-free declination adjustment makes for less confusion, and the built-in thermometer gives you knowledge most compasses do not.

Cammenga US Military Compass CAM-27
This lensatic compass from CAMMENGA has been used as an alternative to the tritium version for decades. It is the same compass CAMMENGA has been supplying to the US Military except the self-luminous tritium has been replaced with phosphorescent paint. http://www.thecompassstore.com/military27.html
