I have at least 6 pairs of shoes, 3 ropes, 3 harnesses, 16 QDs, full set of doubles to #4, a 5 & a 6, 2pairs of approach shoes, flip flops, 2 tents, several sleeping bags a shitload of jackets and pants, but if I find that one piece of gear that I'm missing I think I'll be happy. Oh it also must be on sale, I don't pay retail.

If I get a flames tower I can keep my phone charged whenever I'm in the "woods"!!! Then I'd be happy!!!

Belay glasses are worth the coin.

Gear isn't going to make you happy.

Sigh.

Portable vape

But srsly, a new jetboil is on my list
A new belay parka, helmet, or some nice softshell pants. Maybe a new lightweight three layer shell.

What exactly does a fleshlight illuminate?

Where would one most likely need a fleshlight?

I dig the flamestower idea.
Charge your gear and purify drinking water at the same time!

Ahh,
But isn't the Illumination of your soul reserved for one's entrance to the heavens above?
Lol brother Jake :P

I agree that the FlameStower is a neat idea, but I do see one serious flaw...

"Lightweight and reliable, it works by conducting heat to a thermoelectric generator, which is in contact with a water reservoir — the combination of hot and cold produces enough juice to charge your device in as little as three hours."

Right. Because I'm going to run my camp stove for 3 hours.

If I were to buy a new piece of gear today, I'd probably snag me a Click Up.

I found this in another thread, I think it may work:

Brand Name: DESOXYN
Generic Name: methamphetamine hydrochloride
Category: CEREBRAL STIMULANTS

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
