MEC Outdoor Equipment Sale
Just wanted to let you know that this is a GREAT time of year to pick up anything you might need by way of outdoor gear and clothing for Kaleo! The suggested list of stuff to bring can be downloaded by clicking here. Of special note is that cotton, which makes up 99% of most people's wardrobe, is rather useless when wet, and well... sometimes we get wet. Most outdoor clothing is synthetic or wool, which wicks moisture away from your body and dries quickly.
If you live anywhere near a Mountain Equipment Coop store (see locations), they have a great clearance on right now - check it out by going to www.mec.ca and clicking on "Clearance" in the left coloumn. You can also check out their Used Gear Swap. Let me know if you have any questions or need any suggestions about what to buy!

So, as a former Kaleo, I should warn you all that when Jim says "sometimes we get wet" he means "you will never go on an out trip in which you will not come back weighing ten pounds heavier than when you started due to being water-logged." So take his advice and get yourself some wool and/or synthetics. In Kaleo 1 we never had a trip without rain. Ever. Consider yourselves warned.
ha ha i got this email from mec.. sad fact but true.. this year sarah has visited a mec store more than attending the same church..
and yes you will get wet.. mt washionton trip poors but its great. i think kaleo 4 was the only group thus far to not have it rain/snow/sleet on that trip.
but it makes the year
