+DustyJacket Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I am telling my wife to order a navy fatboy for me for Chrsitmas. When must she place an oder, to guarantee it for Christmas? Quote Link to comment

+reg3 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Hi TNRonin, Very good looking products you have there. I am seriously considering the Thermite. Would it be possible for you to list all of the items that are shown in the animated gif file for the Thermite? I have refreshed several times and watched everything go in and out, but a list sure would be nice. It might also help if the storage locations were listed (left, main, front, right, etc). My only concern is that the Fatboy might be better suited for the items that I want to carry, but I prefer the ability to wear around the waist or over the sholder. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! reg3 Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 (edited) Reg3, on this loadout I have my surefire in the left mag pocket. In the right I place my cell phone. In the main I have a G36, one mag, my sportrak, and a check book. In the front compartment I place a pen, my plam 105m (palmglove)(thick), SAK w/princeton mini FL (don't recall the name). On the very outside compartment I can place my Emerson mini CQC-7. The main pocket is divided into three compartments. I put the G36 in the inside most compartment. I put the mage in the bottom of the main, the sportrak goes in there, and the checkbook as well. I use the rear compartment for storing the "extender"/leg strap. The flap allows you to store a DL, and or some $$. Opening and closing the flap with the side release is pure instinct once you've done it a couple times. I find it easier to do when I'm NOT looking at it. Go figure. Edited to add: There is a "storm" flap that will go over the items in the main compartment. This will cover what you don't want seen by the casual observer, if you know what I mean. HTH Mitch Edited November 25, 2003 by TNRonin Quote Link to comment

+AGREATSCOT Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) Hello Mitch, Thought I would give you a quick review of the OD Proteus I bought recently. Some close friends invited us to join them on a trip on the 'gold line' a metro light rail. This is the latest addition to the light rail in Los Angeles. We went from the east end of it in Pasadena, through old Pasadena, ending up at Union Station in downtown LA. Union Station was built in the late 1930's and is a terrific art deco building featured in many movies. Then across the street to Olvera Street for some great Mexican food This was the first use of the Proteus as a digital camera bag. At first I wore it with the waist strap, then after boarding the train I stowed waist straps and attached it to my Camelbak Motherlode using the Proteus back straps and the Camelbak Molle loops. It was great! The main compartment held my camera, closeup lens set, mini tripod and extra batteries. One side pocket had my SAK and leatherman. The other side pocket had more extra batteries and my spent rechargables. The front pocket holds spare memory cards, a lens cleaning kit, a glasses repair kit, note pad, photon flash light and spare batteries (I know, battery fanatic) for the Photon and my Surefire. I also had a pen in one of the loops next to the front pocket. This is really a well thought out bag. Usually multi-carry bags don't really work that well but the Proteus is different. It works really well as a waist bag and attaches quite solid for backpack attachment. Since our friends planned this outing I did not get to Geocache, but I will next time on the gold line!

TNRonin Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) Peter, you need to check out the new versapacks they have now! I'm waiting on availability before I start selling them. These look way cool! You might want to check out the rolly poolly (whatever), I'm seeing the small ones as the way to hold water bottles on the packs! I'm definately wanting to try them out! Edited to add: Thanks for the review. I'm happy you like the proteus! Edited November 29, 2003 by TNRonin Quote Link to comment
+bigeddy Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 You might want to check out the rolly poolly (whatever), I'm seeing the small ones as the way to hold water bottles on the packs! Lack of a water bottle pocket is a big flaw for me. Add a strap pocket to hold the GPS receiver on your chest and the Fat Boy would be near perfect. Whoever wrote the description for these packs was having way too much fun: Pack = "State-of-the-art portable gear organizer that provides secured containment for and rapid accessibility of daily equipment." Key clip = "Built-in key retention system." --but on the outside? Pockets = "Integral cellphone sheath," "Integral tool scabbard" and "Multi-purpose zippered pouch." Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 (edited) LOL, well they have to make it sound good don't they. And for GPS, get the CP-L, it fits nicely, and you and mount it along the lines of the strap. Edited to add: This will fit on any of the attachment points of the packs.

+AGREATSCOT Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hey, the new products look great. I really like the M-5 and the Rollypolly. Do you know what size Rollypolly is in the pictures? The H-1 sounds good, I would like to see and read more about it. do you know WHEN!?!? Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 This one is the smallest, I think it will be the most useful for civilians. Quote Link to comment
+AGREATSCOT Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hello Mitch, Any word on the big brown truck bring you the new goodies?? Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted December 6, 2003 Author Share Posted December 6, 2003 Not yet Peter, it was shipped, I need to send the stuff out ASAP when it gets here. Might get here today (Saturday) Quote Link to comment
+AGREATSCOT Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 That is good news! Email me if I owe you for anything. Have a good weekend. It looks like in the northeast to Geocache a metal detector might be need along with a GPSr. LOL! Quote Link to comment
+AGREATSCOT Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Oh, yea , put us down for a green and a khaki M-5 as soon as available, too kewel!! I'll let you know about the rollypollys. Oh, and two question?? On the rollypollys why do they show us them in desert camo and don't offer it. And when will we get a Thermite XL or Magnum or Viagra version? Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hey Peter, I have emailed you, but wanted to post that I haven't forgotten you. We have had testing at school and I've been covered up. I have some stuff in, and I will post a list of the stuff that is left over from filling Back orders. I have two more shipments coming in, which should get here in the middle of next week, in time for me to ship in time for christmas. I am surprised at the international orders I have received. Dang it is expensive shipping internationally! Please email me a list of the stuff you want and I'll let you know what I've got here and now. I'll take care of you like usual. I'm disappointed and sad to say the new items won't be available until next year. I too was looking forward to some of the new stuff. I'll ask MAXPEDITION what gives on the colorings. We had a snow day yesterday so I was able to catch up with some stuffage. Quote Link to comment
+AGREATSCOT Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) Merry Christmas! Quick note: We can use a black CP-M, an OD cp-m, and a black single sheath along with the DC Proteus. Let me know after Christmas and I will Paypal. Take care, Peter Edited December 24, 2003 by AGREATSCOT Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Evidently, my wife overlooked my link to TNRONIN's web site and ordered directly from Maxpdition. They said they have stopped making the blue products because they looked like the black products. Of course, the also haven't charged the CC nor shipped the product. And a call to them last week got a recording that they were out for the holidays. So I guess there is no Chrsitmas Fatboy for me. She should have ordered from you, like I suggested.

+reg3 Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Has anyone heard from Mitch lately? His profile shows that he hasn't logged in since December 12th. I've got some Christmas money to spend. Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted December 24, 2003 Author Share Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) For some reason I'm not getting any emails when people post. I apologize for not getting on here recently. Had a gun show and I had to write my own finals for this group of kids. I have some stuff, but not much, I was wiped out at the last gun show (20-21). I'm going to try to list all the stuff I have. Here goes. 1 navy MPB 1 DC Fatboy 4 Khaki Fatboys 1 Khaki Prot 1 DC Prot (Agreatscot's) 4 blk Fatboys 1 Khaki M1 (Agreatscot's) 1 OD Thermite 1 blk FL/ASP baton holder (neat item) 1 CP-L blk (great for GPS) 2 1 CP-M OD (1 for Agreatscot) 1 CP-S BLK My MAXPEDITION site.

+DustyJacket Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Tim Tang finally responded and said the order was "lost", so maybe I'll order from Tronin instead. (Although that 20% discount for their error is tempting, but I shop customer service as well as prices.) I would like the following, but do not see the FL/Baton holder on your web page. Please e-mail me and let me know how to order (PayPal) the following: 1 blk Fatboy 1 blk FL/ASP baton holder I assume the FatBoy is the improved model with two new features: a tactile shoulder-pad and high-breathability back padding. True? Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 Dusty, you can just PP me the cost of the FL/ASP holder and the fatboy. Lemme see.... Fatboy 59.99 FL/ASP 14.99 Shipping 7.99 Total: 82.97 And ya the FB is the improved model. Thanks! mitchell@tnrdgrnr.com will get the funds to me. I will ship the next day at the latest. I am on break and my time is my own right now. Wooohoo! Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Sent PP just now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+AGREATSCOT Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Paypal sent! Be sure to check out that Mora knife and Kydex sheath deal. I have 2 sheaths from him for my Becker utility and desert crewman and they are awsome! He takes Paypal too. Hopefully I will get some geocaching time next year, I have been chained to the PC lately!! Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 Dusty your order will be shipped this morn. Peter, I have you covered and sent an email on a couple items. Just respond how you want me to procede. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment
+CacheClan Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hi, Just wanted to say that I received my Thermite last week and it works out perfect!!! I'm glad I heard about your site. I'm glad I picked the Khaki color too, works out great. Thanks for the business. CacheClan Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 CC, I'm VERY happy that you like it! Dusty and Peter, your orders went out yesterday. If you all don't mind, just put a note on the PP that you are from Geocaching.com. That way I can keep up with the stuff better. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 My FatBoy showed up today. It is just too cool. Not too big, Not too small. Just right for trips in more urban settings, or where I don't need the 100 oz camelbak. (My waistpack kept pulling my pants down - not a good thing.) Thanks for the quick service. You can send a remark to Mr. Tang, about how service is very important to keep the business. Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 I try the best I can. I just went to the dentist and I'm needing to send out a fatboy. Thought I could do it today, but the narcotics kept me in. Now I have the New Years holiday so it will be a couple days late now. Dang it. Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hmmm... I just read the yellow tag on both pieces of equipment. You can do Mr. Tang a favor and tell him: "internationally renounced" is really very bad and means that all over, people would refuse to recognize his products I think he meant "internationally renown" which is a state of being widely acclaimed and highly honored Quote Link to comment
+reg3 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hey Mitch, when you send out that fatboy, how about sending one to me. OD green was my first choice, but I can settle for black if you still have one available. I will send address and $67.98 via Paypal to mitchell@tnrdgrnr.com to cover shipping and the fatboy after you confirm having the black. If you don't have black, when would you be ordering again? Let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 Reg, I have a couple blacks. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I saw a new cache this morning, so I loaded my new fatboy and ran. It is soooooooo nice for caching. I'll never use another waist pack again. (Now I just need to repack it when not in a hurry to make things mor convenient.) Quote Link to comment
+KiltCacher Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I'd like to get a black Fatboy. Can I do this right at the website or do I need to do it through you personally? Quote Link to comment
+KiltCacher Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Nevermind, got it figured out. Ordered a black Fatboy from the site. How long does it take to ship? Can't wait Can't wait Can't wait.................... Quote Link to comment

+AGREATSCOT Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hi Everyone, Geocaching is not letting Mitch know when there is a post so it would be best to Email him too. Happy New Yeay! Peter AKA Agreatscot PS I will let him know about your order. Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 DF, what did you order and how did you order? I have one guy that ordered an CP-M in black that I have on order but we talked on that. Let me know, I don't want anyone hanging. On that note I get several hundred emails a day and there is the chance that it got killed. If you email me straight up make sure MAXPEDITION is somewhere in the note that way it gets funneled correctly. I also sent out a Black Fatboy just the other day, could that be it? The order came in shortly after I had a root canal and a partial root canal on another. I have some good narcotics as a result. Quote Link to comment
+KiltCacher Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Wow, sorry to hear about the root canal. Oral surgery sucks. Just had my wisdom teeth pulled not too long ago, and got dry socket. Not Fun. Anyway, I ordered a black fatboy from your website on Friday night. I actually sent an email the other day to an email address that is listed in the paypal receipt for your website. Not sure if that goes to you or not. I'll email you with my personal info if that helps. Thanks Much! Quote Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 When do the water-bottle sized rolly-polly holders become available? I am going to need one, or two. Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 Ferret yours went out on Monday or Tuesday, I apologize for the delay. It is my bad. On top of the guy backing a truck into my mouth, I am starting a new semester and trying to get the kids settled into classes. I hate the beginning, changes in schedules, and getting the last semester grades out. But I just keep telling myself that the two weeks off for x-mas, fall break, spring break, summer (3 mos), ect more than makes up for it. The rolly polly holders are about one month out. I'm looking forward to one of those as well. There will be some other stuff getting introduced shortly as well. I'm waiting for pics from MAXPEDITION. Some of the stuff sounds pretty kewl. And don't ask what it is, I've been sworn to secrecy. TS/SCI only. Quote Link to comment
+KiltCacher Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hey just got it tonight! It rocks! I'll have to accessorize now... Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 Dude, would you check the post date? I want to make sure I haven't lost a day. Thanks. LOL Quote Link to comment
