I'm pretty sure Tabata means "eff you gaijin" in Japanese…

Yeah, Doug made a good call on the DDP/Skogg combo.  Those really compliment one another well.  Thanks for that, Doug.

(And thanks for the Tiger Balm suggestion, too- my wife just laughed when I said I was going out to buy some, since her mother apparently used it for everything; aches, pains, sprains, hangnails, warts, indigestion, whatever…)

How long did it take some of you folks to receive your gear from the goruck site?

[jacoavlu]

like a week? pretty sure i've always got a ship notice after a few days
not some sort of a preorder situation? I think they've done that in the past with short run colors and stuff.

[llvlaglne]

Just wondering. No special colors, just standard black on both the gr2 and brick bag. Thanks jaco

06/11/2013 - Ordered my gear

06/19/2013 - received tracking number

06/26/2013 - arrival

Excited to receive the new gear but its  two days too late for me to use on my next adventure. Disappointed… I know they had received a ton of orders for the new color ways on their products but not sure how my order fell through the cracks
