Portlandia - Get The Gear

[@greatwesternsky]

This gives me anxiety... it's like in a dream where you're about to do something amazing/life changing and you never get to it.

[@skateboarderlucc]

Childhood nightmare: Youre getting ready to go trick-or-treating but you keep getting held back and eventually miss out.

[@SequoyaTech]

I get these way more than I get straight up nightmares. Stress dreams where you're trying to get somewhere or accomplish something simple, and it just keeps getting interrupted.

[@PlumfacesamaYTP]

@@skateboarderlucc That was a recurring one for me.

[@IHateSmilingFriendsTheTVShow]

Bro those dreams have the most silly premises like you bout to leave the house and then your shoes are on backwards for no reason

[@SD-ip2wb]

I have those omgsh

[@budibaga]

I work at REI and I fully admit to always Wanting to Get The Gear. But yesterday as I was at work, my first shift back after the COVID shutdown, I have a customer say to me as he proudly sets down his pile on my counter, “Ya gotta get the gear!” All I could do to stop myself from bursting out laughing was say back “Get the gear!”

[@Feintgames]

Lol

[@debrac1688]

I was waiting for them to go to REI

[@trsc32]

Hey fellow green vest friend! Make sure we ask if they’re a member!

[@dacawone]

He was probably a Portlandia fan...and testing you! This clip is still funny nearly 10 years later, because it's true

[@mettabee]

"This reminds me of the story of Cinderella. Did I ever tell you that story?"

[@NotAnAngryLesbian]

Went to Peru to hike. Felt like these two in front of the locals.

[@rustinstardust2094]

I plan on hiking in Peru soon - I'll take this as sound advice.

[@mattmoves5920]

Did you get the gear?

[@Pinhead101]

[@mitchellpolinop7650]

[@apfitz]

Bob Jones OMFGGGGGGGG LOL!!

[@thesolo]

I used to always just bring water, and that was it. Then I realized I needed to start carrying spares tubes because too much road debris. Then I started wearing a heart rate monitor when my rides went over 20-30 miles. Then I needed a cycling computer, plus taillights & headlights so I wouldn't get run over. And now it's like 30 minutes of prep just to get on the damn bike.

[@jimreily7538]

thesolo Hahaha that is hilarious, I went through the exact same process, now it takes me ages to prep before going for even a quick ride. Funny stuff

[@samaraisnt]

How embarrassing. You lost me at "cycling computer" though lights are mandatory and should be ahead of other "gear."

[@Mash-e1w]

I’ll add to that. Long rides?….sun block for cyclists, gps locator in case of emergency (127 hours) then, Swiss Army knife to cut off arm, app on phone to share live location, energy bars, phone charger, spare torch, emergency blanket foil.

[@lifescansdarkly]

@@Mash-e1w Can't tell if that last comment is real or an extension of this skit

[@zangl2955]

All u need is tubes, water, and money for hamburgers. Plus stuff to stay warm if you’re doing an overnight. Oh wait im earnestly replying to a joke. Goddamn im a dork.

[@genevievespaulding6344]

I know a "get the gear" guy..just about fell out of my chair laughing when I first saw this.

[@mcblahflooper94]

I think the cool thing about Portlandia is that usually theres a tiny lesson demonstrated in each skit, but they don't try to push it on their audience, or even mention it obviously at all. They break down these ridiculous egos and almost celebrate them.

[@starmole5000]

Agreed!

[@sirsaint88]

My hunch is that this is the most beloved show in San Francisco, the most hated show in real life Portland, and a foreign show in Kansas City. But yes we can all learn a lesson.

[@johntao6822]

@Mister Guy 2.5 minutes? Oh please. I know people like this

[@dropkickirish4449]

@@sirsaint88 That’s not “your hunch”, that’s a stolen comment almost verbatim from many other Portlandia clips dated years before yours. But the cringe is all yours. You must be the coolest person you know.

[@llewodcm20]

This is kind of a Portland comment lol

[@Aleakwe]

😂 especially when Fred trying to hook the drink bottles on his waist.

[@kellymitchell2106]

“It’s more fun this way” I work at REI in the camping section, helping people like this is my workday, but I do love it. 😂

[@zangl2955]

As a professional gearhead, what DO you need besides water? Lets say I wanna do a 3 day hike. I’m poor and feel like I’ve already blown half my budget with a single puffer jacket.

[@soulsunshine108]

I feel like Fred has mastered the art of sophisticated slapstick.

[@Hardcoreforliife]

kath and david stress me out SO MUCH i love them

[@inspir.edmusic]

Best description of a hat ever.

[@dings215]

it's worth it to live in the PNW just to fully understand the brilliance of this show.

[@msctbeats]

I think the whole joke of the show is that it's not worth it lol

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I think IFC & Portlandia celebrated OR and the hip, funky PNW scene. Too bad Portland & Seattle seemed to 📉 from around 2018 & on.

[@thewinesmith]

As the show went on it became less of a parody and more of a reality.

[@Eddysamson1]

this show really works for Burlington, VT too

[@falcoperegrinus82]

"Reminds me of the story of Cinderella. Did I ever tell you that story?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@mrTacroy]

Hikers, travellers, runners, cyclists, motorcyclists, climbers and all those half athletes/half explorers wannabes you have one thing in common. You gotta get that GEAR.

I used to be the same until I went to the Amazon all kitted out and saw the locals in flip-flops, t-shirts and shorts absolutely kicking ass.

[@seanf38]

That's right, don't need motorcycle gear! My skin is tough enough to protect me when I'm sliding on asphalt at 70 miles an hour.

[@grayrachelle]

True! Although my $16 reflective dayglow yellow vest has saved me cycling in Los Angeles.

[@danbolton7437]

This particular sketch is like a billion times more funny if you live in Portland too

[@lindaleelaw5277]

Brilliant ! Reminds me of my trip to Montana ... I'd never mountain hiked, but I looked great- and findable...lol Life is all about not being able to do it, learning to do it and always look goid. " "Eets better to look good then to feel good"- Billy Crystal , SNL, as Ricardo Montalbon...

Hat = Like a circle with a half-circle coming off it.

Before hipsterdom, this is what I thought everyone in Portland was like; outdoorsy and camping-obsessed.

[@kenny6920]

This is the entire west coast until LA, then it gets a little more Norteno.

[@samaraisnt]

@@kenny6920 Hiking is a big huge thing in LA too, it's just Runyon Canyon instead of a green park. People are still hike obsessed so it's an entire West Coast disease for sure!

[@kenny6920]

@@samaraisnt oh shit I love Runyon. Blackstar Falls another good one. Eaton Canyon. I've been hiking here my whole life almost but there's just less of that "hiking is my personality" thing that you find up North

[@adjutant]

then you finally walk out the door and you've only got 15 minutes of sunlight left..... this is too real lmao

I do not remember watching this video 8 months ago but I must have because I made a comment about Fred trying to hook that carabineer on his belt. So today I watch the video and I think the exact same thing about how I sometimes hang my tool bag on a carbineer off my belt and it takes so many tries to get it through and how silly I feel seeing this video. I must be losing my mind

It's only funny until you get old, & then it's no-joke deadly serious, lol. In the realm of the elders, there's no such thing as 'spontaneously going out' anymore. Going for a short leisurely walk? It takes me half an hour to pack up the essentials including snack & extra sunscreen, plus I need to pee three times before I get out the door. Even a trip to the grocery store has somehow turned into some kind of adventure/roadtrip/journey that requires an overnight bag "just in case".
