    buying online. customer service touches.

    I am the same way as you..whenever I order something big, or custom, and receive zero feedback from the seller, I bug them for info. I know it annoys them, as they are individuals running a business but I was once in their position. When I ran an online based business, I had my phone number...

    Exo Mountain Gear...Good stuff!

    Steve is a great guy and exo (as well as S&S archery) are great companies to deal with. When i bought my exo a few years ago, thought it was pretty dang cool that when I was calling I spoke with him a few times about stuff. Love my pack, and love companies that are doing things like this.

    Favorite cheap gear

    Need help prioritizing purchases...

    Instead of putting them in order, I am going to just add my comments. You are so far getting great advice though. 1. Exo 3500/5500 bag. - I run a 3500, love it, but think you should get the 5500, as they compress to the same size. only reason i would do the 3500...is so you dont fully pack...
