Great name and explainer, Tom!

Like the name change - but I also liked Caribunkle ... I thought a caribunkle was some NW/W Coast North American thing. Had no idea it was made up - great word!

Totally made up … there’s a good story about it. The short version is, it’s a bastardization of the word carabiner, wrought by my Scottish buddy Alex while practicing ice ax arrest on a mountainside.

Excellent choice! I'm happy to hear it will be the same great taste.

We're still the Caribunkle Boys!

Congrats on the name change, Tom! Love them both, btw -- but your new name certainly does paint a different picture. At least in my head...

Looking forward to it!

I don't think you'll find the articles changing all that much--it just took me a while to figure out what to name what I'm doing.
