^^^i can understand around 50% of your posts so I guess it's debatable
I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

I swear, some of the "gearheads" dont kno jack shit. Same with people at evo, have you ever asked them a question? You can get much better info starting a thread here..even as a new member filtering through all the BS posts..

I'll second bc.com gearheads knowing little about gear. Honesty, I'll ask shops in Jackson over the phone/in person. They have people who actually get after it.

i can't speak for their gearheads as the ones here are far to entertaining to bother elsewhere but j true has helped me help other maggots get gear several times.
and is damn knowledgable
other than that i recommend ya not fish the spawn and leave them damn fishes to fuck"When the child was a child it waited patiently for the first snow and it still does"- Van "The Man" Morrison

No drug screen for the call center. Distribution Center employees are around heavy equipment, some operate said equipment, hence the need for screening.
As for knowledgeable gearheads, we have plenty of those. We have been working on our call/chat routing to get you to the right person, still a work in progress. We are also working on clinics and training to try and get everyone up to speed on all the categories we cover. Obviously people are passionate about different activities, so it's hard to be an expert in every category of gear we sell.
Example, a gearhead that's a die hard trad climber might not be into backcountry skiing. They can probably cover the basics, but might struggle with the intricacies. Same for fly fishing, it's a relatively new offering from backcountry. We have a number of guides or super knowledgeable agents that work for us, but you might not get connected with them on the first try. If the person you're chatting with isn't able to answer your question ask them to tranfer you to someone that can. If no one is available you can leave a message and we will get back to you.
If you have any issues feel free to hit me up on here or shoot me an email. Jtrue at backcountry dot com.

I seriously would be great at this... I know love and use gear in all sorts of different sports, and have connections in "the fly fishing industry" (whatever the fuck that means) and spend a lot of time sitting on the interwebz and chatting with people.
But moving to Utah is out of the question.
