Cabela's had a branded Danner hunting boot that was amazing. They looked similar to the Danner Canadians. I was going to send them in to get rebuilt, but it would cost twice as much as I bought the boots for.

35 year old Dolly Pardon.

30 year old Gates McFadden.

25 year old Victoria Silverstedt

25 year old Victoria Zdrok.

25 year old 7 or 9, Geri Ryan or something like that?

Does that count?

I had two girlfriends when I was in my late 20's in Europe that were so far out of my league it was crazy. I lived on the beach in a super house next to a resort and my game in America might have sucked, but my game at that resort was legendary.

Do you want to see my beach house? Worked very well. That was 20 years ago.

Heard the new Salomon Quests 4d aren't what they used to be from a comfort standpoint, never were particularly durable. That was a good versatile option to recommend to flatland buddies who weren't ready to drop $400+ on western boots or weren't sure if something stiffer would work well though.
Cabelas did used to make some great quality gear but I don't really long for anything in particular there.

I feel you on the under armour beanie. I have one that I have been using for at least 15 years. I would be extremely disappointed if I lost it. It's easily the best fitting piece of headwear I own. It's a unique stick pattern. Again, I should have bought several.
If you still have the one you like, I’d take lots of pictures and measurements. They’re not complicated, and I feel like any moderately experienced housewife with a sewing machine could clone them for next to nothing if you had all the details.

Baker climbing stands just so the younglings will wonder how we survived.
The first climber my dad ever had, I have no idea the brand name, but maybe one of you will identify what it was from my description here….it had a fairly heavy seat that folded up from the foot platform. So the upper section you hold with your hands did NOT have the seat attached. It ended up just being nothing but a gun rest once you were set up. The foot platform, that you can’t EVER afford to lose out from under you, was at least triple the weight of the upper half. It also had a flat strap that wrapped around the tree that offered no bite at all, and ZERO teeth of any kind on the flip side. It was just like square aluminum tubing with some thin rubber shroud or something. If you survived your climb, you then had to squat down and pull the folded seat up into place. The seat was similar one of those tiny folding 2-part camp stools where you sit on a 6” x 8” piece of fabric, and the two bars dig into your ass cheeks and make your legs go numb…. except on this climber, the seat it was much heavier than the old school camp stools because instead of a standard cloth ass hammock, it had a heavy thermal foam pad (that absorbed water BADLY) covered in thick camo fleece. You couldn’t even lean back against the tree. You had to sit squatted forward like an old lady clinching during a power dump.

I first learned to climb with basically a modern climber (not quite, but it wasn’t too terrible), and then I tried using his old original climber one time and couldn’t believe he was still alive. It was like someone literally tried to design a climber with zero advantages.
