Cool, I think I’ve read this before. But will reread to waste time!

This is actually a great video! Step stool is definitely the way to go. I get nervous every time I see someone using two ramps, walking up one of them.

We'll have to start calling that the "ramp ramp procedure!"

Woot!

I honestly have completely lost track of what thread these links should be in. The articles indirectly have parallel twins in them so anywhere should be fine?

Side note: I remember savoring Kevin Cameron's articles back in the mid 80s when I was barely a teenager. If I'm 53 then he's .... a billion?

I tried really really hard to buy a Vanson before we bought the One-X but man they made it all way more difficult than it had to be. And I'm still pretty sure they could have sold me an off-the-shelf 48 Tall but they were too lazy to check sizing. I'll try again when this suit is worn out!

 

[bmart]

They are very old school, all while comlaining about the customer base. I happen to fit in off the rack...and buy from "others", so it works for me. But, I get it!
