Extension Request: IR - BA Jack Rabbit SL2 Tent - Christensen

Kathy (& BridGeT),

Have an emergent family issue which necessitates that my wife and I travel out of state this afternoon (had
planned to stay home, work on the IR, work in the yard, etc this Memorial Day weekend).  My IR is due tomorrow,
May 25th.  Could I bet an extension until the 29th (I hope to be back home by then).

Thanks, Ryan

Extension request - Sea to Summit TPU Map Case - Lori Pontious

Wow, the computer has been logged in for five minutes - maybe this  
will go through.

I would like to (retroactively?) ask for an extension so I can take  
the map case out this weekend. Come Monday evening I will plant my  
laptop in a Starbucks and upload my LTR.

(version v. 0609), all of the appendices and Chapter 5. I agree to comply
with all these requirements as a tester. I have also signed a tester
agreement which is on file with Shane Steinkamp dated 7th March, 2005 and
has been acknowledged by Stephanie Martin on the 27th April, 2005.

Carrying out multiple test reports has not been a problem as I have tested
five items at any one time. All of my reports have been submitted on time.

Extension request - Sea to Summit TPU map case, accessory case, zipper pouch

I am having a bad week all around - my internet connection has been  
so intermittent that I have been using my phone for emails, but that  
doesn't help me get test reports uploaded.

I would also like to take the three items with me this weekend - I  
have a three day trip and rain in the forecast.

I know this is a day late, but could I have an extension on the three  
Sea to Summit items?

Lori

IR - Big Agnes Jack Rabbit SL2 Tent - Brett Haydin

Andrew,  

Sorry for the delay getting the IR.  I misplaced my weight measurements,
then I went ahead and went backpacking with the darn tent.  Already had the
IR written sans the measurements so I left out the field information, but I
did use a picture from the trip.  Got "snowed on" with graupel, rode out the
thundersnow and slept peacefully in subfreezing temperatures.  That was
after spending the day in summer-like weather of course.  Yep, it is
springtime in the Rockies!

Anyway, I have the html in the test folder here:  http://tinyurl.com/c2jowvu

The text version follows.  Thanks in advance for your edits/suggestions!

Many many many apologies for this being late. I thought I had uploaded
it earlier but turns out I had not.

Tester Information

NAME	 David Wyman
EMAIL	 wyman(AT)wymanhq(DOT)com
AGE	 34
LOCATION	 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
GENDER	 Male
HEIGHT	 5' 10" (1.78 m)
WEIGHT	 175 lb (80 kg)

While I've been camping for years, I've only been backpacking for a
short time. I'm trying to find the right equipment, alternating between
tent and hammock. My dog usually comes along on the longer hikes, and my
wife and toddler join me on the shorter ones. I tend to carry more gear
than I need resulting in a heavier pack, but I'm working on that. When I
hike with my dog and/or my wife and son, we take it a bit slower,
stopping frequently to enjoy the forest. I rarely hike fast unless I'm
trying to make up time.

EDIT: IR - backcountry Solutions Geek Pocket - Edwin Morse

Hi Edwin,

Thanks for this very nice looking report. I've got a few edits for you, which are in the standard format:
EDIT: must be changed
Edit: recommended change but at your discretion
Comment: is just that, a comment only, no change needed

MSRP: Not on website
on hang tag: US$22.95
EDIT: The price is listed on the website in the "Geek Pocket Purchase" page so please just amend this to read,
"MSRP: US$ 22.95

The Geek Pocket is an open top pouch of what feels like canvas sewn to flat back of the same material.
EDIT: Please insert an 'a' between 'sewn to' and 'flat back', so it reads, 'sewn to a flat back'

There is, on the back of the Pocket, a 1 in wide piece
EDIT: Please include metric conversion

I scan attach it to any of my packs using the sternum strap
Comment: On my browser the "I can" was located in the middle of the two pictures, with the rest of the
paragraph below. Stretching my viewing window solved the problem but I'm wondering if there is a way of
getting the text out from between this threesome of photos?

That's all I've got for you Edwin. Please go ahead and upload after the corrections. See you in two months!

Kind Regards,

Kerri

Arrived: Garmont Amica Trail ?GTX? - Nancy Griffith

Got home to find some new shoes which my husband says arrived yesterday.  However they are the Gore-Tex
version. I thought that we were testing the non-waterproof ones. I'm perfectly willing to test these
though. Please advise.
