| Dont really know where to put this, but ive had my whole pack conataining all my gear stolen. The pack is an Osprey Kestrel 32L pack in size M/L, red and tan. Brand new SMC rigging plate, various screw links, Omega rings, Omega locking ovals, Black Diamond, wire gates, about 150 ft of green Sterling tech tape, a few other random Biners, 1/2 Shackles both converted to bolts, chain links, SMC CR pulley. It was stolen from my Jeep in Marlborough MA. Hoping you guys could keep a look out online etc for any of it. I doubt it was anyone involved with climbing or slackline, but I have no clue. |  FLAG |

| I have recovered all my gear. The bad news is it was left it a compactor for a few days and everything needs a cleaning. Also, some of it may be junk afterall. |  FLAG |

| The gear was stolen out of my car at work. I do not smoke weed. Next answer, the police department had a call for a backpack left in the parkinglot. I went to that store to find out about it, and after the police came to inspect it, they tossed it. Now I need to clean the dumpster juice out of my pack. Any Ideas? |  FLAG |

Soak the pack in hunter's soap a few times (Walmart sells it), then air dry it thoroughly. Febreeze it if most but not all of the smell goes away, eventually the odors will dissipate. |  FLAG |

Sorry about that man. I'd say start with Woolite and the garden hose. |  FLAG |

| Just use dish soap and a hose, or if you don't live in a house wash it in your bathtub. |  FLAG |
