thebackpacker.com backpacks

“How about some thebackpacker.com backpacks?

Not gonna happen. But I got your attention didn't I. Are there any other products, outdoor oriented or otherwise, that you would like to see branded with thebackpacker.com? (adult products are not allowed, sorry Bearmagnet)”

“LOL
I was about to say, now you are getting silly. ;-)”

“Check out the Patch thread, for the calendar idea.”

“We did it, we finally drove him insane.”

“water bottles or nalgenes would be cool”

“I was gonna post a big N O!”

“Well, it was kindof a short trip ....”

“Fax machines.”

“Well, for those folks who hike nekkid, perhaps TT Tattoos???”

“yeah, Nalgenes.”

“Fax machines.

LOL!”

“Damn.


What kind pf calendar?

How about TT trowels?”

“I would really, really love a thebackpacker bandana. Wouldn't that be nice?

we could use it instead of a hat,
we could use it to blow our snot in it.
We could use it instead of toilet paper..

I mean...think about all the uses this one bandana would have. I think I would order more then one...”

“given your three uses, i hope you have three of them!”

“If you don't order more than one you'd better get the sequence right when using it.”

“why?? there are lakes and creeks. I mean what dub can do I can do too right??? dub washed his socks in our drinking water...

and shoot wasn't it pennsy that peed in the creek?? huh?

ohohoh....
we could use it as bandages
we could use it as food bag.
hmmm we could EVEN use it as a towel or wash cloth

I know there must be many, many more uses.

“Golf tees. Mouse traps. Backpacker.com anti-fungal cream. Masking tape. Antennae balls. Envelope openers. License plate holders. Sony Playstation games. Particle board. Shampoo and conditioner combo. Acetaminophen. Breakfast cereal. Ant bait. The opportunities are endless.”

“With a PATCH or a Logo strategicly placed so when you roll it up as a sweatband it has the logo center forehead...(Or when you use it as a headcover)...


Differing colors, light cotton, heck, load them up with the URL, logo, advertisements for Latta Outdoors, (Sell ad space...hint hint...)”

“TT bandanas!!”

“i thought "backpacks" was a verb. i was gonna say "no we dontt. we fight and tell dirty jokes on the computer all day, then wonder why we dont get anything done in the rest of our lives"”

“To make it easy to find other TT'ers when we meet in Campgrounds, at Trail Heads, etc....

Bright Yellow or Int'natl Orange...use as a emergency signal.....”

“The bandanas idea is really good. They could be something like they have on Survivor, colorful and unique. Each year you could come out with a different one. Or have bandanas for the larger TT trips like Trail Talk Rendezvous 2006. (Location to be determined at a later date.)”

“gem has my votes for bandanas”

“I think a TT trowel would rock!

How about a TT doorag?”

“i like the bandana idea damnit. and I would prolly use it more often then a hat, but I still would buy a hat too...

I always have a bandana with me, I don't carry hats with me that much.”

“bandanas are good!

I like the Nalgene idea too.

Stuff sack would be cool, but no one would really see it. So why bother have a logo on it.”

“Bandana gets my vote, but then I was too lazy to order a shirt when they came out. (Note to self: maybe Matt could bring one to the HST if I begged).
I would also vote for a very, very, very lightweight banner for larger TT trips, although a bandana doubles nicely as a banner, assuming Gemini didn't get ahold of it first. JKing, Gem.”

“You can do some good stuff with bandanas that actually differentiate them, and Add Value to the TT Brand!

1. Print a map on it. Take all the most popular trails & print them... I have one of Desolation Wilderness... I don't actually ever refer to it for anything, but it's fun to have!
2. Print First Aid info on one
3. Print "what to do when you're lost"! on one
4. Print animal tracks on one
5. Print common bird pics on one

The list could go on & on & on....”

“Oo! Oo! I got it!! Those things they give the Survivor contestants! What are they called?! Buffs!!”

“you know it wasn't to long ago someone mentioned trying to find some of those decals with a hiker on them....how bout one of those with say thebackpacker on the bottom. Mine is currently Sierra Club (not on vehicle). Would display one from here though. (Maybe done already, haven't checked)”

6. Print the last time you were tested.”

“another vote for the nalgenes, only make em one of those jazzy new oneswith the handles and such, as I don't have one of those.

Bearmagnet, I saw those in LL Bean on Saturday.”

“I like the bandanna idea.”

“nalgenes and bandannas”

“bandannas”

“you saw what, y2??????????????”

“How about TT knee braces?”

“I would love some hmmm.. hmmm printed toilet paper, you know just in case I have used each side of my bandana...

“Good thing you edited that Gem. I have a feeling it would have ended on your classics page.”

“Nalgene
bandana
stickers
Staff medallions

I would even buy a parka or fleece pullover or vest!”

“question...
but did Matt even ask us??

or do we just HOPE he will make those items available for purchase??”

“I was wondering Gem if you were going to use the bandana in that order, or reverse order? lol

I like the bandana idea.”

“I like how serious you asked me this question. :)

Answer:
I'll let nature take it's place. Whatever happens first. LMAO”

“I would like to propose that my company supplies your company with logo'd hiking stiks. Lets have your people contact my people and arrange lunch for us.

seriously...hat or lapel pins would be nice. I've seen them wholesaled for @$3.00. in quantities of a minimum of 100.”

“You're welcome. But I was lol when I read your post AND when I was posting.”

“i know!! :)”

“I'm voting for the bandana idea. I always carry 2... One good idea is to tie them together to make a sling for your broken arm Just a thought.. Maybe directions on how not to break your arm would be good printed on them.... See Matt, this will double your sales... Buy two...”

“I like the bandana plan, and the Nalgene too. Sign me up !”
