I'm cool with people copying a design for their own personal use. It's another thing to try to sell and undercut someone else's product. Let's all just get along now. And to be honest, I thought about making one, but the group buy was such a good deal.

Agreed, but note that the intent was not solely for personal use:

Can someone PM me with pics of all of the pieces when theirs arrives? Some rough dimensions as well. I have access to a laser table so it would be nice to draw up and make a few.

Anyway, I'm off to lawyer up because the internet liable police are apparently coming for me.

Fair Enough. Good point.

Enjoy your battle.

So the mods get to make libellous statements? Piss on my shoes all you want. The law is the law. So either remove the libellous comments or send me Bob’s mailing address. Your other option is prove there is a theft of intellectual property and have me sued.

You Mods think you are above the law and get to make up the rules as you see fit. I asked respectfully if someone would get me the information. A simple no would have ended the request with no hard feelings. Yet once you make an accusation and start being a douche the conversation took a turn. So have Bob contact me and we will see how we proceed.

that’s stupid and you don’t know the law if you think that counts . I agree you aren’t in breach of IP but it’s still a dick move. Also a subpoena would be needed for the information your asking and spoiler alert, “all records searched and the data you requested is not present” lol.

Damn the last two pages had me cracking up. If I missed marking anyone down as paid during the food fight, let me know.

dcoursler · May 20, 2019

Wow.

As a small business owner I see the copying crap all the time. Move on and don’t be a outright dick. Please.

The design is submitted for patent review, I have worked very hard to develop a product that is efficient, effective and long lasting from the air hole design and spacing to the smallest details on the bag made for it. If you want to copy then buy one and measure it. But don’t ask people to help you copy my product I have developed and put the work into. That’s just lazy and shameful.

That is all.

To everyone who got in on the group buy almost all are paid and they are going into production now

im pretty certain that for a libel case to have ground to stand on one would need to show proof of damages. just saying. im bummed i missed out on this group buy, dollar late and a buck short as they say.

Lmaooooo these last couple pages are worth the price of admission alone. My favorite chapter of "A Midsummer Night's Butthurt" was the one where the antagonist acted hard AF then cried one post later about the mods 'doing what they want' and 'acting above the law' on the PRIVATE INTERNET FORUM THAT THEY MODERATE.

Reply banning someone from a thread and then proceeding to bait them is an interesting tactic.....just saying.

Keep watching. If someone doesn't follow through on the payment, I believe you can take their position. If I didn't have other priorities right now, I'd be in. This deal is great.

Thanks for putting in the effort and hooking us up, man. Looking forward to many future nights of cooking meat in the woods and having enough firelight to admire my beer by.

Groupbuy is officially closed!

Alright, so here's where we stand on the firepit. After taking a look at everything, the price for a stainless steel 11gauge firepit got up there. So we set the idea aside and Jim was able to coordinate a group buy through Southern Xpeditions (@dcoursler).

Somebody posted the firepit on here already, but the one Derrick (Southern Xpeditions) makes is pretty similar to what I had in mind. It's slightly smaller and made with mild steel, but comes with a cooking grate and carrying case. Overall, it should work quite nicely

It retails at $289 but Derrick is offering a pretty big discount if we can get at least 20 pits ordered. He can ship them individually, but shipping would be roughly $35-$45 because of the weight. For those living near Seattle, we could have them shipped together and distribute them afterwards to save on s&h.

I'll be PM'ing everyone that was interested with the pricing. If anyone else would like to jump in on the group buy, PM me for pricing and any questions you may have. Once the final order is placed, the lead time would be roughly 2-4 weeks.

As cool as it was, having the TacomaWorld logo cut into the firepit isn't possible. Going to take down the poll to avoid any further confusion and we'll stick with the stock logo that Southern Xpeditions offers.

Final order will be placed on Sunday May 19th. So let me know by Sunday afternoon if you want in!

The groupbuy still isn't closed so if you change your mind, let me know.

More information from Derrick:
https://www.southernxpeditions.com/swag/firepit
That is the product, it is the Pack Flat Firepit. It is 7ga Mild Steel, MIL scale coating left in tact, the firepits are cut on a fiber optic laser to ensure the cuts are clean and require zero cleanup. They are cut here in the USA in NC and the bags are handmade by Blue ridge Overland Gear in Bedford, VA. The bag is PVC truck tarp on the inside so it doubles as a firewood sling when the firepit is setup(so you're not carrying around logs like we have always done).

It is a 4 piece design firepit with the 12x12 cooking grate provided as well. I most times will put a small amount of charcoal in the bottom of the firepit, add a few pieces of wood and cook my steak or whatever it is I am doing on the grill that night and when done just put logs on top of the charcoal and you now have a roaring fire.

It packs down to about 1” tall with the bag so it can fit virtually anywhere.

its a long shot, but if anyone doesn't take their fire pit position id love to buy one

I can't tell if you're joking about a carp smoothie. As in throw the fish in a blender and hit puree?

Edit: WOW, the drama that occurred between the carp smoothie and now is very impressive.
