web site for vintage gear? where did it go? - 08/14/12 03:42 PM

There was a website that had old gear catalog pages that I used to reference all the time. They had a list of most all the top 70's & 80's gear makers. It was a great site but disappeared about 60 days ago. It was great to reference old tents and sleeping bags. The Sierra Design site was particularly good. Anyone know where this site has gone? Thanks in advance. The last time I went to the site it appeared that the host site was no longer valid.
