GIVE A SH*T WAG BAG

I get that this is a 4/1 gag, but it is actually a really good concept. It is kind of unfortunate that BD kind of trivializes the threat to public lands, plight of federal workers and proper wilderness poop disposal by just a few yuks out of it.

I retract the above. The BD site must have had a glitch.  Seems like a worthy endeavor by BD.

A father and two sons scaled Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park to hang an American flag last Wednesday.

Joe Evermore told St. George News he has four boys: Sam Adventure, 10; Sylvan Lightyear, 8; Joey Danger, 5; and Blaise, 3 months old. Sylvan and Sam climbed with their father, spending two nights on the cliffside and working on the rigging team.

Evermore said displaying the flag was a response to upside-down flags placed in parks to protest the Trump Administration's efforts to reduce the federal workforce.

But ya missed the best quote from the 10yr old....Sam said, "America has helped so many people. It has ended slavery. And when I get older, I can have a gun."

...Joe Evermore...

if this is the same Joe that dragged his kid up el cap for social media clout, this isn't April fools', this guy is a fool year round. An irritating 1 at that.

They’re donating 100% of the proceeds—proceeds, not profits—to the National Parks Conservation Association. Seems like more than just a few yuks.

I tried to put it in the shopping cart and was unable to do so. It looks like it may be like BD’s other 4/1 products that were simply in jest and not really available. If I am wrong, then BD’s 4/1 act is commendable.

Okay, never mind. It seems to be working now and I placed my order.

Nah the Honnold spatula and the heated chalk bag are 2 of the best things to come out of BD

I ordered both previously... but there was some factory mixup. I was sent one of Honnald's bags removed by a heated spatula. 

Its my lucky talisman

Can America be truly great if a 10 year old can't pack heat?

Yeah, unfortunately not an April Fools' thing. That dad is just kinda a weirdo.

If it gains him clout, I’m sure he would be overly willing.

Looks like Musk is being pushed out. Yesterday's special elections made it clear he's a liability. There's still plenty of stoooopid at the top, but this is something, at least.

I was thinking closer to the Ruby Franke Docu series...
