Wow! Straight from lurking on the forum to camping out for a week straight! That’s… impressive commitment.

Always hope to see as much pictures as possible. Always fun for me to see people go mad enough to stand outside of a store for days. Let alone in this time of year. :zany

I do pray none of you guys get hurt or sick while doing it! Just have a good time and be safe! Eventough i love a good horror story
i don't want to see story's of people getting eaten or something. ;) Because who know's what lives behind Spyderco's backyard. :zany

I was totally decoyed by the subject title, or maybe not.
Anticipated an interesting thread about camping, and that's what I got. Kind of. Just different :)

I love camping and backpacking, at all seasons, but this stuff I find too extreme. Don't think I could ever do it, but that makes it even more interesting to read about your dedication. Best of luck!

Where do you use the restroom?

We have port-o-lets coming Wednesday. Until then, there are Port-o-lets set up for the workers building the expansion.

Pics! Let's see pics of the die-hard Spydie fans out there braving the elements.

It looks like the weather should be nice and mild for the campers. Have fun and enjoy visiting with one another. :smlling-eyes

I want to see (external) photos of the Port-o-lets !! And some photos of knives would be nice too, I guess.

What Spyderco knives do you guys carry in your pockets for standing in line for days in front of the SFO? I would think a line-standing knife would need to be a very special knife. I don't own a dedicated line-standing knife, which is the main reason I can't go to the seconds sale.

It all becomes clear now! I had always presumed being on the other side of the planet was what was holding me back, but it turns out all along it is a lack of queue knife that is really stopping me.
