These two pics are over the top! Do they get outside to show off their gear or show off their gear to maybe get outside? The two posts with bins and garage storage are definitely more real!

nothing wrong with being super organized while making it look nice, if I had space like that in my house I'd have my gear organized just like that

Wow, people are liking my gear pile! Thanks for the likes. I would have never imagined that this would garner so much attention-lol!

I am going to need to expand on this initial "teaser" picture... but this is my gear loft. I use bins rather than baskets like what was in the OP because I don't want to have to dust my gear off. I am moving the bags and quilts to hangers next week though. Let me know if any of you wanna see what is in any of the bins. ;)

I'm not sure if you do much climbing or canyoneering, but it's good practice not to keep climbing rated carabiners with non-climbing carabiners. This reduces the risk of putting your life in the hands of a carabiner that can only hold a few pounds.
Not sure if this pertains to you, but I thought I'd put it out there.

I’ve actually been in a conversation with someone about that very thing before. I use the caribeaners for hammocks and bear bags primarily. We did use them for climbing on some rocks a few times but since I’m not very experienced in that I’ve taken extra caution not to mix them up.
That said... since this is the 2nd time someone has mentioned it to me. I might need to make a change since it’s actually good advice.
Thanks for reminding me. :)

Why I'm Going Back to an External Frame Backpack
I began backpacking when I was a scout, lugging around a bargain, classic external frame pack that my parent's found on a closeout deal at a local gear shop. It wasn't pretty, or terribly comfortable, but it held my stuff, and what it didn't - easily lashed on the outside.
For two years, I hoisted that thing around and when I was 16, and was working my first job, I saved and scrapped all of my money until I had enough to buy an internal frame pack. Back then, outdoor gear was beefy, made from 1000 denier, kevlar; my new backpack was made to last a lifetime! It even came with a lifetime warranty. And the weight... well, lets just say that pack alone was more than half the weight people are bragging about these days as their BASE WEIGHT.
At first it was hard to justify a replacement backpack. I mean... it worked, albeit a bit heavy, and it was near bulletproof. But as my gear got smaller, and lighter... and after packing a full size pillow for a year or so, to fill the extra space...

Durston x-mid 1p
Review of Durston x-mid 1p - haven't had a chance to use this in the field, but have set it up in a local park a couple times. Easy and quick to set up if you follow the instructions... I'm 6'3, 230 lbs and have no issues with the size using a Thermarest Trail Lite large pad and North Face Blue Kazoo long down sleeping bag. Packs away easy enough. Looking forward to using it in the wild.

Ultralight seems to defeat the purpose of hiking after all hiking is exercising. If you can't handle the weight!
...well I guess it's your choice.
Seriously just pack the weight it's great for your health and you can enjoy in comfort

Is Drop/Massdrop dead?
Lately I have a feeling this website has more of less just become a store with it's own products than what this website used to be before it changed names.
Anyone else feeling a bit disappointed with drop lately?

Dog gear
I backpack and camp with my dog regularly, we both love it. Any way we could do a drop, or multiple, that has some pet related camping and hiking gear?

Customer support and product returns!
After using this site for several months and have spent a lot of $$. I've discovered that they will not allow returns on products unless it's damaged or not working. Great?
But what if the product arrives and isn't what we as consumers expected? Nope, they will NOT allow you to return for a refund. I purchased a pair of Oakley sunglasses that looked like a quality pair but upon arrival and after spending over $100 I found out they're light and very cheap feeling. They seem like swap meet throwaways!
The "discount" is not great enough when factoring in this policy and the shipping costs not to mention the long delays.
I've used "Theclimb" for my discounted outdoor gear for years and they honor returns! And it's tough to beat Amazon!
I'll be dropping Massdrop and I'll be shopping elsewhere from now on!
You've lost a customer Massdrop!

0 deg sleeping bag
In the market for a 0 deg sleeping bag. Not hardcore backpacker right now, but might do so in the future. Prefer not to spend too much. Have been looking at the Teton Leef, Cascade Mountain Tech and Kelty. Any thoughts on them? Thank you in advance.

So after about 3 weeks of having to sign in to see prices , has there been a increase or decrease in sales?
Seems to me that the marketing strategy of hidden prices would stamp out impulse buys after all if you have to sign in you can just as easily research prices on the same item online. You can usually find a similar price and get it shipped a whole lot sooner. Don’t get me wrong I like mass drop I just liked it the way it was. It seems like someone is making unnecessary changes to justify their place in the company. I really want the rest of management to take notice and stop it before the whole company is taken down.
