Broadfork@PhoenixSerenity Worth celebrating. Excuse my ignorance, what does ETP stand for?
@Broadfork Employment Training & Preparation 🙂
@PhoenixSerenity Thank you. A worthy celebration indeed and I’m also pleased to see Mountain Equipment Coop is still going strong.
@Broadfork I got that MEC jacket at a thrift store for $10 over a decade ago. It was in mint condition & it's been with me for many adventures 🙂
@PhoenixSerenity In a past life I did a cycle tour up Vancouver Island. Nanaimo to Port Hardy and across to Calgary.
I bought a few things in MEC in Vancouver. It all did me well for ages.
@Broadfork Good quality gear lasts a long time! I'm a poor woman so I hunt for quality gear at thrift shops & flea markets because I can't afford to buy them new.
@Broadfork I've never paid more than $50 for quality outerwear. I will hunt for used, mint condition gear until finding some in my frugal price range.
@PhoenixSerenity Best way. Likewise, I don’t buy much at all these days but when I do it has to be good to last. Even better if I can find another use for them.
The bike wheels on my trommel for sieving compost are from the bike I toured Vancouver island and BC into Alberta on.
Coles Street Pothole@Broadfork @PhoenixSerenity Ha I am an MEC member from the early 1990s, still have a fleece from back then! Good stuff!
EDIT: I am still pissed that the MEC board sold the co-op's assets without consulting or remunerating members.
@ColesStreetPothole @PhoenixSerenity The cycling jacket I bought lasted me for a long, long time until the inner liner started to flake apart. I was sorry to see that go but it had, had a good life.
Sorry to hear MEC didn’t do right by its members.
