Is being born in Idaho close enough? Congrats to someone on a sweet prize!

Hmm.. My email is now only accessible at work and I decided to stay home today. Lots of people from Idaho though...

Well, some of us have checked in so shouldn't take long to figure it out. Fins' post said, "registered quite awhile". Who else is remaining? Sawtooth, Brymoore, Baerman?

Forgot about those two. Don't see them around here much. Forgot about Orion23 also. They have been on this morning though.

Ahhhhhh....... an oldtimer from Idaho. Hurts when BigFin is calling you old.
Lots of Thanks to Big Fin and to the guys (and gals) at Mystery Ranch that support this site, Fin's adventures, and, most importantly, take the time and effort to build a quality product that I happily pay full price for.
My first purchase of a Mystery Ranch Longbow was a direct result of this forum and seeing the commentary of old timers (ha ha) like Greenhorn and BuzzH starting to spread the gospel about the quality products coming from Mystery Ranch. My first chance to get my hands on one was in Salt Lake when a bunch of old timers (ha ha) like Moosie, IDBugler, BuzzH, Oak, Greenhorn, Seacat, and Big Fin all found ourselves in the same part of the world.
In any event, drinking Seacat's PBR's on the convention floor and seeing the Mystery Ranch products convinced me that my previous futile quest to find a comfortable pack may be reaching a conclusion. Like many other "old timers", I have a stack of packs in the corner of the garage. Pack boards, External Frames, Internal Frames, Collapsible, Day Packs, etc from some of the biggest names in the business and the biggest retailers.
After seeing the Mystery Ranch products and then hearing a rumour of a new product, I patiently waited for the new product. It was released for testing, and one of the testers shared with me that the new product was the one to wait for. So, as soon as the Mystery Ranch LongBow was released, I was on the phone ordering one.
The ordering process was simple, they knew what questions to ask to get me the correct size frame and pack. After the pack was shipped to my house, I had a quick question on set-up and they quickly guided me through the process.
As a daypack, the NICE frame and a LongBow pack is surprisingly small and agile and I don't think twice about putting it on my back before daylight for a full day. And, the luxury of having a pack that you can haul as large of load as possible out of the hills on the first trip is definitely a way to keep your buddies in camp appreciating you. The Mystery Ranch system is the first pack I have ever had where I don't have one of my arms go numb under a full load. Now, if I ever have a heart attack, I will be able to notice the symptoms.
The load hauling of a Mystery Ranch pack is impressive:
( 2 front quarters from a bull, 2 backstraps, 2 tenderloins, and miscellaneous day pack items)
Since my first Mystery Ranch, I have convinced/shown a guy in Calif to buy them, 3 guys in Elko, NV are now using them, and a couple of more in Idaho, all because of testimonials on HuntTalk from real guys who spend real money on Mystery Ranch products.
Thanks again to BigFin and to MysteryRanch for their products and their support of our passions. I look forward to this new pack and have a tentative adventure that it will be perfect for.
Thanks Pointer. Glad someone remembers me.
