Very cool. I want one.

I bought an Osprey Farpoint for my Japan trip. It works great for day hikes, but I need something like this for overnight, multiday hikes...

Thanks! I think the H2O pocket is for one of these (sold separately).

Wow, 36 bucks is a nice price compared to a Camelbak. It'd be even cooler if they just went ahead and included it with the pack...

Sweet. Has the stock been redone? The action and stock look to be in much better shape than the barrel. What's the story on this gun?

lol they're just napkins - they've fooled everyone who has looked at them in real life so far! If you look closely you can see how fake they look around the edges, there's no bleed.

Flare gun is real, though, I don't know anything about it (or what a stock even is), I just liked the look of it, and it wasn't particularly expensive. Going to hang it somewhere.

It does work apparently. The thing that goes back and forwards, not the trigger, but the thing that hits the thing that makes the flare go is still there.

The hammer is the thing.

It'd be interesting to know the age and make of it...

Oh, I also hung out with Nina and Louise of Veruca Salt last week. They were here in Toronto for a show. Nina's hot, I accidentally touched her bra strap and now I will never wash my hand.

I'm gonna guess it's a WW1 era Verey (sometimes spelled Very) flare gun. The grip certainly looks like one, but the long ass barrel extention thing is a bit strange.

Cool stuff in any case. Where did you get it..?

Veruca Salt broke up almost a decade and a half ago when lead singers Nina Gordon and Louise Post had a fight (allegedly over some guy). They each lead their own successful solo careers. Now older and wiser, the two had slowly been rebuilding their relationship over the last few years. Nina contacted Louise a year or two ago and the pair decided to work on some new material along with original band mates, Jim Shapiro (drummer and Nina's brother) and Steve Lack (bass). Their new album, Ghost Notes, was released earlier this summer, followed by a North American tour.

VS was here in Toronto last Tuesday (details and review of the show here) for their show at the legendary Lee's Palace. They probably should have booked a much bigger venue (max capacity 550) since the show was sold out early and there were fans outside still trying to find someone to buy their tickets from. One guy drove 8 hours from the States to try and buy a ticket from people in line (he actually got in so he must have paid a lot extra for it).

Anyway, I had an all access VIP pass so I showed up extra early. On my way to the venue, I caught Jim walking around on a busy street in downtown Toronto with what looked like a bag of groceries trying to look inconspicuous, which I though was funny considering he is quite tall and has sort of a distinctive Psycho Bob hair, though he's missing the clown shoes. He looked relieved that no one besides myself had recognized him. At the venue, the band set up for sound check, which I've never watched a band do before. It was interesting to see Nina and Louise constantly tweaking their pedals and levels with the control booth trying to get the acoustics right, and otherwise joke around. I got to meet with all of them, had some photos taken (I had my arm around Nina and that's when I accidentally touched the back of her bra, but she didn't complain), they also signed my copy of their CD and gave me an autographed poster.

The show itself was awesome. Opening for VS was a NYC band, "Charly Bliss" - a weird mix of bubblegum punk which reminded me a bit of "Yeah Yeah Yeahs". Lots of energy between the band and the crowd. They played a good mix of their new material along with a bunch of oldies. The crowd was pretty wild, but I guess we have all been waiting for 14 years for this show. If anyone is interested, I'll post a few photos once I get them off my phone.
