Hi all - just stopping by to share a little project of mine in case anyone's interested. After putting together a little business card for last years Winter Outdoor Retailer show and getting some great feedback, I've published the darn thing as a 18x24" screen printed poster.

I'm selling 'em online right now over at http://wasa.bigcartel.com and will be shipping 'em out as soon as I get this run finished printing in the next week or so. Take a look and let me know what you think - there's a backpackers, paddlers, and ski/boarding version following shortly... Thanks!

Cool poster! What's X? eXposed? eXtreme? Got the rest of them, but I only know what a V-thread is because I read Steve House's book recently. edit: Ooops, it says at the bottom ...

You've got a talent for illustration. V is for Abolakov?

[Altitude Junkie]

That is a very cool idea. I'm proud to know as many of them as I do. You should do a spoof one, too. Heck, the folks in here will probably take care of that for you soon.... AJ

Thanks for the kind words. A spoof one would be fun - but I've got 3 others (hiking, paddling, skiing) stacked up that I'll probably ask for some help with from the community here. Coming up with 26 unique terms for backpacking that I can illustrate has been fun - but there's a few I could use some help with. Right now Q is for Quinzhee, but... any other ideas? You get the picture.

Way fun! Thank you

A quick preview of the Backpacker's Poster illustrations in progress...

Those are great! Thanks

Q can be for quilt - some backpackers choose to use a (usually down) quilt - e.g., no "bottom" in lieu of a sleeping bag to save weight. Okay, that's a bit of a reach. My only other idea is food related - quinoa. That made me think of all kinds of q foods, but quinoa is the only backpacking friendly one. ;-)

"T" for tarp tent "U" for ultralighter.....
