I realized that like a lot of litigators and personal injury lawyers, I was vicariously feeling the trauma to which I was exposed in my clients’ cases. Therapy helped me make sense of some of my traits, tendencies, and triggers. It was my first foray into therapy and it saved me therapy has been a blessing and a gift to me ever since, and I still see that same therapist (Donna Parker) to this day. I was getting my hair done one especially bad day when my hairdresser recommended her therapist to me. I sensed I needed help but didn’t know where to turn.

I went into a deep funk, feeling rudderless and confused. When my marriage failed after 12 years in 2015, my world fell apart. The rollers will come in three sizes as well: 45L at 2780-grams and $240 USD 85L at 3290-grams and $260 USD and a huge 125L at 3970-grams and $300 USD.Having a Therapist and a Coach Changed My Life (and It Could Change Yours, Too) The Stagecoach Rolling Duffels feature extendable handles and a compression-molded bottom to keep their structure but maintain durability. The Big Joe will come in three sizes: 45L at 737-grams and $110 USD 80L at 935-grams and $130 USD and 110L at 1300-grams and $160 USD. Thanks to the burly fabric, the Big Joe Duffels will actually stand on their own, and open wide, for easy packing and the inevitable search for that one AAA battery in a massive duffel… The bags have multiple lash points and the straps can be configured into top-carry, backpack or shoulder straps thanks to the numerous attachment points. The duffels aren’t rated as waterproof because the zipper is not submersible-rated but merely ‘highly water-resistant’ (fully-waterproof zippers are extremely expensive, and unless you’re expecting to submerge your bags, not really unnecessary on a duffel bag for regular use). The Big Joe Duffels and Stagecoach Rolling Duffels are constructed of the same main fabric, a 410d fabric that is welded instead of sewn for waterproof protection. There will also be a complete line of stuff sacks, from 6L to 43L. Weight is quite low (10L – 300g, 18L – 360g, 25L – 460g) and the price is fantastic: 10L $40, 18L $50, 25L $60 (all USD).īig Agnes will enter the duffel market for 2018 with a complete line-up of water-resistant duffels, rolling duffels and a couple ‘normal’ duffels. The two larger ones (16L and 25L) have drawcord openings and rope straps, while the smallest 10L makes do with a zipper to access the main compartment.

They all have a large main compartment, zippered external pocket, ice axe loops and breathable-mesh shoulder straps. The Dragonfly line of packs are simple and streamlined, with a low-profile, rectangular shape that sits neatly between a climber’s shoulder blades. In addition to the NA expansion, they’ve hired some highly respected, very capable people to develop new products - info coming as I get it, but expect to see a lot of innovation emerging from their offices over the coming years. I reviewed the original lime-green Warthog 26L a long time ago ( here) and am stoked to see the company wholly entering the North American market. For those not familiar with the brand, Blue Ice is a Chamonix-based manufacturer that started out making small, alpine-focused packs.

By way of comparison, Osprey’s own Variant 52, a ski/mountaineering oriented pack, comes in at 3.46lbs / 1569 grams, and the A/A Pro packs are 70/65-litres, not 50! MSRP for all this awesomeness is going to be $375 USD.īrowsing the exhibitor list before the show, I spotted the words “Blue Ice” on the floorplan but didn’t quite believe it was the Blue Ice until I walked over to the booth. All this comes in at a hard-to-believe 3.94 lbs / 1787 grams. There are all the usual features: a removable top lid, compression straps, dual ice axe loops and dual, also removable, side pockets (which are huge!).
