Simms G3 Guide Waders "Son, never buy a cheap tool," my grandfather said while navigating the labyrinth of a cavernous hardware store one Saturday morning in the fall of 1977. He was looking to replace a broken yard rake with the most expensive one available. Every time I neglect his advice I confirm the underlying wisdom of those words. Cheap tools cost more becaus... Dakine District Bag My first thought when asked to test Dakine's District bag? "How many packs does one man really need?" (I have five).

And, as a girl from the big city I was also on...
