6th of 8 Posts for Sept: So the breaking point of the store is.... international shipping.  Putting it in the mail isn't rocket science but customs is complex.  If we do something we want to do it right so we will get good at running a store that ships to the USA and then bite off the logistics of shipping to one country at a time so when we do your country, we do it well!

TODAY'S VIDEO: Why do I publish videos I've worked on for years when I'm the busiest?  That's a great question.  I wish I knew.  I rarely finalize an edit on a Wednesday and this edit took me 5 hours this morning! This one took a lot but the 5 piece bolt is the core reason I started the bolting bible and I've never published a video about them.  Well, here you go!

Lots of harnesses are in.  Ordering a full line of ropes and helmets this week.  "stoke" is the password to get you in the store.  "PATRONS" is the discount code for 25% off.  We've done 50+ orders and have put stuff in the mail the same day you ordered it (M-F).  Thank you for helping us iron out our systems.

Why are these so popular???

5 Piece Powers bolts are popular among climbers. We talk about the pros and cons with 40 tests to back it up.

I just watched your video about 5 piece bolts. I had a couple questions about the Zinc Plated vs. SS versions. Do you know how much longer the SS will actually last? They are used a lot in Western CO where I live (dry and arid climate), and they seem so hold up pretty well. I have seen them go for 20+ yrs without any issues (with the exception of limestone), and Ive seen SS go bad that are 25-30 years old. At 5 dollars a bolt vs. 15 dollars is it really worth it for 5-10 more years? I think glue-ins are the gold standard, but hard to use when developing, just because a lot of times you want to move a bolt, and those suckers are permanent. So maybe use the Zinc Plated, with plan of replacing with glues-ins eventually would be the most economical??? I was also told that the blue plastic piece above the sleeve acts to prevent water from getting into the hole when tightened down, giving the Zinc Plated 5 piece more longevity?? Thoughts?? Thanks for all you do.

How will you communicate the countries you will serve? Would love to order some stuff to Portugal, once it's possible.

I'll be very loud about it in email, videos and on the website once I have a good system for each country. You won't wonder :)
