Posted by nahtanojc on 5/21 at 3:50 pm A couple years ago, I was approached by a well dressed guy at a gas station with a story about how his wife had just passed away at the hospital and that he was headed to the hotel but needed gas and had no money. . . he was getting choked up about his wife and appeared somewhat sincere. As a rule,...Posted on:  O-T LoungeJump to Post • View Topic |
| re: Where to get cheap Costas? Posted by nahtanojc on 5/20 at 11:44 am As others have stated:
SteepandCheap.com if you're not picky about styles/lenses
eBay if you are. The ones listed on eBay are legit and are sold by authorized dealers, but enables them to sell more by circumventing Costa's MAP policy. You're looking at $50-70off going that route :nana:...Posted on: Outdoor BoardJump to Post • View Topic |

If I could justify a boat, then by all means I would indulge. A kayak requires minimum investment and is only limited to how far you want to paddle/peddle. I think they both have their place- kayaks...Posted on: Outdoor BoardJump to Post • View Topic |

Very similar to the Pelican.

You will find no argument from me on this; Pelican has made yet another great product. Had it not been for that one issue, I would still own one.

As for weight, the Pelicans are a bit excessive. Lugging a 36# ice chest around got old fast. After food/drinks and ice was added, it was a ...Posted on: Outdoor BoardJump to Post • View Topic |
| re: Best brand of high end coolers? Posted by nahtanojc on 5/17 at 3:13 pm For most people, a Coleman Extreme or the Igloo Maxcold is enough. The only reason to buy a higher end cooler would be for longevity or because that $300 is burning a hole in your pocket.

| re: Our area is getting a Cabela's AND a Bass Pro Shop. Posted by nahtanojc on 5/7 at 10:12 am Of the two, I have found that Cabela's usually has better sales/clearance prices.
