    Another Big Sale at EMS - Moved from trips & events

    The in-store emails they make me read every shift were written to all EMS stores from EMS (and Will the owner), not just particular ones (Augusta-119). At the time you wrote that first post, EMS hadn't added the $20 off yet. I have been clearly under the impression that decisions like that...

    dog rescue/first aid

    Sounds like you did a fantastic job. As a paramedic and former firefighter/paramedic I have treated many companion animals including cats, dogs and...um.. rabbits. I have noticed, in my career, animals in distress bite less than humans do....ha! I have never tried a boot, but in the SAR Dog...

    Another Big Sale at EMS - Moved from trips & events

    ha! no, I work at the other Maine store. We are inconveniently located next to a jewelry store and a GNC....right near a Claire's (which gets all the 16 year od girl traffic, not our target customer) and Hind is 20% off, but that is just one sale that had been going on since before the memorial...

    who said anything about a general percentage off? right now at EMS it is as Tom and cbcbd said...$20 off $100 or more (for EVEVRYONE, not just people on the email list) and a $25 Gear Bucks card (7/1-9/30, when purchasing $50 or more of FULL priced items). the $20 off ends on the 29th, the...

    Chafing...again.

    Although I have never had a need for it, I am 99% sure I saw bodyglide at the DisGusta EMS today, in the little yellow bins, center of main aisle, right in front of the registers.....with your back to the registers, it's up, to the left, top or next to top row........roughly... :D

    EMS 20%(off reg. price)til 3/20 email coupon-anyone want one?

    Also, my local EMS (Augusta) is doing an additional 30% off all clearance items (actually anything red-tagged) right now. I got a primaloft 1/2 zip, normally $100 ...for $13. They also have all kinds of midweight base layer stuff red -tagged and then the additional 30% off.

    Favorite Trails for Trail Runners?

    I like Acadia, like I said, but I've never run on the carriage roads, alway run foot trails. I LOVE running foot trails. There is nothing like it. I have seriously considered adventure and/or mountain racing.

    Eulogy for my backpack (1995-2006)

    I can vouche for Lawn Sale's ability to ressurect the presumed dead. He's like a pack/gear paramedic, a modern day revival healer...dare I say he is... JE....no I won't do it, for he is the one who can not be named. :p

    Favorite Trails for Trail Runners?

    When I was living in Orono and attending UMO last year I used to trail run in Acadia a couple times a week. I loved it. I particularly enjoyed the Cadillac Mountain South Ridge Trail. Can't wait to get out in the warm sun again (I am a warm weather runner...I seem to have cold asthma).

    LL Bean winter clearance sale

    Nope, ended up buying nothing there. I liked the 0* down sleeping bag, but decided against it right now. I was there a little over a week ago too and saw nothing really amazing.

    LL Bean winter clearance sale

    When at the retail store yesterday I saw maybe a half dozen pair of adult size snowshoes (actually, I think I only saw 36" versions) but a ton of youth ones (both 16 and 19"). I wonder what happened to all the adult ones I saw last week. Saw some new The North Face backpacks (Skareb and...
