Super stoked about some upgraded gear purchases! Mostly just gloating I guess.

I noticed the Merrel thread... are there any other brands of hiking books that you guys suggest. The ones I have are the cheapest you can get, and I'd like to prepare a little more efficiently for the coming season.

Also, I haven't watched tv in years, however, my roommate has netflix! So.... I recently discovered "Dual Survival". I really really like this show. What do you guys think about it? I think Canterbury and Lundin have a pretty sweet dynamic going on.
