why does your snark bark at the lark?

Derek, where in WV do you live? I'm in VA but right on the border.

Beckley. Work in Charleston.

Alright reprobates, I need an honest opinion on the 5.11 Rush 24. I need something bigger than my Moab 10 to haul my everyday gear and want a bit more stability. First up, does it have the hidden compartment behind the rear compartment? Next, how comfortable are the shoulder straps?

You need a MAP3500.

What kind of padding does it have inside? It needs to protect my wee laptop.

Not sure if it's right or not but according to the internet we're around 2 hours away from eachother. I'l ask my dad later.

Ever heard of the Highland County Maple Festival?

Look, just ask him out. Derek's a cheap drunk and he's easy.

No thanks, only his mother thinks he's handsome. I prefer humans of the female variety anyway.

Anyone ever hike in the Shenadoah NP?

I was looking at tackling Old Rag or Cedar Run Loop first.

Wilha and Wera are excellent brands. I have both in screwdriver and L-Key, respectively. Top notch tools.

Never hiked in it, but my parents have taken me on a good pit of the Skyline Drive and it's beautiful. Whereabouts do you live?

Good recommendations already but if you have a Sears near you, you really cant go wrong with Craftsman stuff. Not super expensive or super fancy etc etc etc BUT their hand tools have a lifetime warranty. Individual "bits" will not, but a torx bit set, a folding set, and individual fixed torx drivers will and they wont break the bank. Just FYI...

+1. Their individual drivers are a great deal and .....all of the above. Highly recommended.

Anyone here watch a show "Crossing Lines"? It's pretty damn good actually. It has Keifer Sutherland, or maybe it's Donald Sutherland in it, I always get them confused. It's like a cop show but it isn't like a law and order cop show. It's like NCIS more so.

Dr. Demento. Used to listen to that show every weekend growing up. Tom Lehrer and all the others. "Mammary glands, wo-o-oh, mother nature's dairy delight..." fun stuff.
