About Me

In 2005 we started our business and named it FIVE Auctions & Sales. We have a store on eBay with the name reddragon8173.{http://stores.ebay.com/FIVE-Auctions-and-Sale s?refid=store} We also built a website called MyNightVision.com. We started out selling a huge variety of products but we specialize in Night Vision Optics such as goggles, spotting scopes, and weapon or rifle scopes. Then we branched out and added GPS, climbing gear, caving gear and supplies, like ascenders, rope, harnesses, helmets, crampons, bags, backpacks, stoves, avalanche beacons, rescue tools and electronics. In March 2007 we became an authorized Doggles, K-9 Optics and K-9 Klothes dealer. We added Doggles to our website. Doggles and K-9 Optics are goggles & sunglasses for your dog. K-9 Klothes are clothes, backpacks, life jackets, harnesses, jewelry and jackets. Our daughters run this part of the family owned business. They love their pets and we sell doggles for people who love their pets. Yes we have clothes for any size of dog, from teacup to 250 pounds! So if you are looking for a great deal on any of these items, feel free to visit our website or eBay store. We don't just sell these things, we use them! See our picture albums for pictures of our dogs wearing the goggles, sun glasses and clothes. Read out blogs about hiking or hunting in bear country and how to use bear pepper spray or better yet, subscribe to our blog and get valuable information on subjects that we are knowledgeable about. We will try to update them when we have new information. Send us a picture or link of you or your dog in action and we will add it to our FRIENDS album! In 2007, we also sponsored the 29 "MyNightVision.com Just Get Some" WISSOTA SUPER STOCK CAR. In September 2007, we quit selling Night Vision Optics and changed the name of our website to WyomingMountaineering.com. We felt that we knew more about climbing, caving, hiking and backpacking than we did about night vision. We felt that we could offer our customers better service with these products. We are adding new products every day! Check us out and join our club to get freebies and great discounts that are not offered to the public! JUST GET SOME!

My Interests

Stock Car Racing, Shooting, Backpacking, Hiking, Camping, Boating, Fishing and Riding the Harley, also Photography, Rock Climbing, Dogs & Snowshoeing. In general we just love being outdoors!

I'd like to meet:

We would like to meet anyone out there who likes Stock Car Racing, Mountain Climbing, Backpacking, Hiking, Camping, Shooting, Harleys, Dogs and Having FUN! Nothing is more fun than meeting a new friend at the Sweetwater Events Complex, nicknamed the Thunder Dome in Rock Springs. Dirt track racers are a special kind of person; they are usually good friends off the track and love to beat each other on the track. If one of them needs a part or needs to get their car running again for the main, they help out so that they can beat them on the track and then brag about it later! No one wants to win because the other racer is in the pits with car problems; they want the satisfaction to pass them on the track! Look for us at the track! Look for the number 29 WISSOTA SUPERSTOCK car driven by Jim Shoemaker. We still backpack & I used to love to climb almost anything just to see what was on the top or the other side! I have climbed and rappelled off of cliffs at Vedauwoo by Laramie, Wyoming. Injuries and older age are finally catching up and slowing us down, but we still like sharing the stories and hearing about where others have gone. LOL We still hike and have fun in the mountains or the desert here in Wyoming. We are going to learn how to kayak this summer. We both love to target shoot. I shoot a Ruger .45 ACP, Dan Wesson .357 and a Smith & Wesson .38 detective Special. Iva loves shooting her Hi-point 9mm assault rifle. Iva is a better shot than me when she wants to. We both quit big game hunting a while back. We used to hunt deer and bison. As for the Harley, I still ride a 1981 Sportster that is in cherry condition. How many 27 year old rice burners are still running, let alone look as good as the ’81 Sportster? We sold the all black 1979 Harley-Davidson FLH Dresser that looked exactly like a police motorcycle. Now wish that we still had it! My wife recently had neck surgery and can't ride for a while yet. So if you see me riding solo, wave! Our daughters have 3 dogs. Boo {Rat Terrier} Dom Perignon {Toy Poodle} and Peanut {Chihuahua}. See them in our Doggles album. Visit our blogs for some good stories and great information on the products we sell.
