If you’re on the EBay strike, remember you’re always welcome to use our free online outdoor gear classifieds. Pay no listing fees, no commissions, nothing, ever. Yes, FREE.
Yeah, we’re here for outdoor gear, but you’d be suprised at what might pass. I mean, tire chains, some types of baby carriers and strollers …certainly GPS systems, boots, jackets.
Get creative! Get started! And, welcome home!

Heya, we got some great new posts in Women’s Apparel yesterday - check these out! Fleece tights, soft shell jacket and hiking pants! Just think, if you buy all 3, you’ll be ready for the next set of storms, and you’ll save money over the retail prices.
Anyways, that’s good stuff. That brings our count to over 50 items. 53 I believe… Nice! We could use more so let’m fly!

Please excuse the construction while we re-work our blog theme. We’re doing this to make navigation around our website easier, and to make the blog look more like it belongs to iGearList.
We have’t quite gotten things sorted out but I think you’ll see that already the blog layout makes more sense!
Come back soon!

Everybody is doing it! Yeah that’s right, a new logo has been rolled out. I mean if Apple, Google and Microsoft have upgraded logos, I thought we should too.
Here is the before picture:
Cute eh? But notice how pixelated it is? That part isn’t good. If you read the entire site, you’ll learn where we got this logo, but for now I’m not going to say much more.
Here’s the new version we are trying on:
Cleaner, stronger, and NOT pixelated! Nice!! A hearty thank you and mad mad props go out to my friend, fellow paddler and fellow paddle instructor, Michelle! She worked with me to get this thing rolled out and wow! What a difference!
Next up, a new blog format. Oh, we know it’s been long overdue…

I just heard from iGL friend, Jenn, who just started her own sea kayaking tour company in Nicaragua. What a life! She just got back from her first tour in Estero Padre Ramos -a successful tour in the mangroves with roseate spoonbills, sea turtles, fresh fish for lunch, and kick-a** people. She says it’s a place where time tick tocks instead of streaking by like a comet’s tail. Right now I could use a place like that! As well as more sun. If all of this sounds good to you, you can book your own kayaking tour in Nicaragua by calling her at 011 (505) 621-2778 or by email at Ibis.Exchange (at) yahoo.com. I know she and the rest of Ibis Exchange would love to get you out on the water. (Hopefully I haven’t doomed her to a lifetime of spam, oops.)
Happy Thursday!

Oh, gads. If you’ve been reading the blog, you know my personal view on this time of year, dare I say it again: the Dead of Winter. If the Dead of Winter were a place, it would be Las Vegas - a place of fun and sin and delerious fixated people staying mostly inside doing strange things. So, I have more confessions to report from this time of anything goes.
The first one being: Poffle. So, while I was doing really well with banishing gratuitous bread and butter meals from my diet, nothing could have saved me from this bout of Poffle. Ranger M (a.k.a. Weed B****, more on her later) and I found ourselves in the middle of the “storm of the decade” and this brilliant idea came to Ranger M. An idea more brilliant than ALL the lights of Las Vegas, which was to make chocolate-toffee-coffee cake. Oh man. Since we couldn’t say all that, and because it turned out so strangely, we ended up calling it “Poffle”. I’ll spare you the details and just share with you that you really haven’t lived until you’ve seen a bowl of hot melted toffee disappear into the belly of a half baked coffee cake made with real coffee in it. Oh my! The result being so strangely addictive and bad for you, simply worse than gambling on both counts.
Next up on the confessions list: “el Diablo” a.k.a. Mount Diablo. Gear Queen and I decided that it would be nice to kick off our Gobi March training in a no-holds-barred and perhaps rediculous fashion, by hiking our local landmark Mount Diablo. It doesn’t seem like much, but the funny “anything goes” part is that we walked and jogged there from a couple cities away (Oakland) by trail. For the locals, the deal is we went through Redwood, the EBMUD watershed (which is filled with a rare breed of poop-less cows), through Las Trampas, and finally to Macedo ranch and on up the big hill. Who knew it all connected so nicely? We probably could have used one of these fancy altimeter watches.
Because it’s the DOW, there were Spaghetti-O’s involved, and Foster’s beer (just 1 each, for fear of sounding too nutso) - which is Australian for “Gatorade”, right? As we hiked back down, now elated and talking about the finer (not the occsaionally nutritionally wreckless) points of ultra-running training, Gear Queen deleriously noted that Mt. Diablo at sunset is in fact the best bar you could go to. Yes, better than any bar in Las Vegas my friends, I think it’s true.
So, I’m sure, you must have some Dead of Winter confessions of your own. Post them to comments! If you don’t, be an angel and sell your outdoor gear on iGearList!

Now is the time! I heard on NPR recently that this is the most active time of the year for the major online classifieds and auction sites. Why? Actually, it makes sense. Folks are back in the office on their high-speed connections. Some people got gifts that they can’t return and can’t use, so they are selling them online. Some folks got new stuff, and now have the old stuff to get rid of.
Did you get a new set of skis? Is your garage stacked with too many pairs of old “rock” skis? Did you finally break down and buy yourself a new set of Scarpas over the holidays? Do you now have 6 sleeping bags? 3 tents? Did you get yet another wool hat that you just can’t use? Now is a great time to post your old (or new) outdoor equipment on iGearList. Unload it, unleash your garage and closet space. Get a little cash in hand. Give your equipment a second life. It’s easy to do.
It’s also a good time to post because we just ramped up our targeted marketing efforts. Unlike the major classifieds and auction sites - our marketing is targeted directly to outdoor enthusiasts and professionals, the very people who will appreciate what you are selling!
Lastly, if you have any questions or if you are having trouble posting your equipment, have some feedback, or would like a free iGearList.com sticker - don’t hesitate to be in touch.

It would be difficult to picture all the resources and steps involved in making a gore-tex jacket or a backpack, or the larger costs to the environment or humanity. Or if you’re even the one paying for the entire cost of production for the items you buy. Luckily, the people over at storyofstuff.com took the trouble to figure out where stuff comes from and where it goes, and who’s paying for it. Yeah, if you’re sitting there with a fancy new gift in hand, this video could cause a little bit of guilt, or disbelief. This is where we come in. One easy way to contribute to a sustainable system of stuff, is to keep the stuff that’s already made in play until it’s all used up.
What I mean by that is this: say you have a new tent in hand, and an old one in the garage. Say the old one is 5 years old and has been used 10 times. That old tent probably has another 50 or so uses left in it. If it sits in your garage for another 5 years it will be regarded as obsolete and nobody will want it. Right now there’s someone out there who is thinking “darn I didn’t get that tent I wanted for Christmas!” and is probably looking to buy one as soon as their bonus comes in.
Here is the crux move. Sell your old tent here on iGearList now while it’s still looking a snappy, and while people are shopping - and eliminate two things: the demand for a brand new tent to be manufactured, and a perfectly good old tent taking up space in the landfill.
That’s my two tents! (Ouch! Bad pun.)
