Maybe you can borrow some of Boku's rack?
If Trango had any marketing sense they would use that periscope pic!

I'll bump again with my funny big-bro story.
A few years ago I was given a #6 big bro. I sold it off to Russ W. but before I mailed it I played around with it a bit. I was under the impression they were screw-only and had no clue they are actually spring loaded. I was gazing straight down the business-end when I pushed the button deploying the thing right into my face.
Luckily- it didn't make full contact so I escaped getting knocked unconscious with a donut-shaped bruise in the middle of my forehead. Nearly gave me a heart attack though.

Thank you all so much for the gear offers! Looks like we will be able to replace and/or do without most pieces BUT we lost all our old BD#4s - if anyone has one they don't use we would love to buy it or trade for small gear! ~Shanti and Pat
PS Jaybro is that the piece you'd place for the Teradactyl wing move?!
Note: Pat and I just read the Big Bro story and we're laughing too hard to drive right now. That's pretty much my worst nightmare btw. Good gaaaad.

It's true. The entire human race is a bunch of tools since they are not as gifted as you are.
Yes yes... and you sprung out of the womb with the intrinsic knowledge of everything under the sun about every single piece of climbing gear that ever is or was and have never done a single solitary stupid mistake in your entire life.
Edit to add... But thanks for bumping the thread.

Oh
Reminds me, the first time I ever saw one was at Deseretmtn Sports in PHX. Cris raypole and I were, for some reason, drinking beers there, when in walks Craig with the bros. We get into this conversation about the wide and our mutual frieend Scarpelli and Squat which Craig had tested them on but at the time only Bob and I had ever free-ed.
Craig went into his speial with the owner, and we took one, for 'experiments.'
"chris, I have an idea, watch this."
I lined up an empty beer bottle and pressed the trigger. Much to my delight, there was a a loud crash, and a shattering of glass. MAn those sprindgs have umph, even back in '87 or whenever that was.
"hey don't do that, bad for the springs", said Craig. he either gave me that one ( the smallest one) then or shortly thereafter.
One of those big yellow ones, Skip? you're lucky you didn't get a concussion!

I got a #4 big bro off of Bridewells rack. Not sure what to do with it - add it to my rack or use it as a club?

I heard a homless guy wearing cast off mystery spot shirts and depends has been working it with the purloined rack. He told Stacy and Gary he's an undercover health inspector/ morals cop or somesh#t. Definitely using the August heat for cover....
Gawd people in thee desert are odd.......

I have heard that perhaps it was the original poster who stole the gear. Additionally, I heard that the free gear folks sent to said poster was actually sold for personal gain. I'm not normally one for confrontation or controversy, but it would be fascinating to see the truth of this played out on the interwebs if there is indeed a lying thief among us. If none of this is true, my apologies in advance.
