And of course the goddamn 132 B 17 EF kit is out of stock . Thanks , Obama . <| sep |> Yea they definitely make their own but it ' s usually a DWR coating and just not AS breathable as a GoreTex membrane . But yea , absolutely . You can buy a Venture from North Face for $ 99 and you get a lifetime warranty on it and you ' ll be protected from the rain as well as a GoreTex shell <| sep |> I ' m impressed at how good all the new big guys look . Didn ' t expect them to be on this level that fast <| sep |> No . Why would I move to Canada ? What , you think Canada isn ' t doing this shit too ? 5 eyes has been doing this type of shit for over a decade now , now it ' s just on legal paper . Also , what , do people think just because they move the British government can ' t get to them ? Didn ' t Snowden say that Britain has the most intrusive and largest surveillance operation in the world ? GCHQ taps into the cables that run across oceans and collect everything , it isn ' t just Brits , it ' s nearly everybody in the Western world . If Britain or America or pretty much any NATO country wants you they will get you , unless you have the protection of another powerful nation . even still , they might .
