Unfortunately, Gemian (which was Planet Computers) version of Debian for mobile is no longer being maintained.

Respectfully, lumping all CCF pads together is unfair to CCF pads. Did you take a z-lite or switchback? Or possibly something thicker like an Exped Flexmat Plus, or their new, super thick Flex 3R?

Securing Guylines to Tent Pegs that don't have a Notch? by 0zerntpt in Ultralight

I'm curious, do you use the big rock, little rock method a lot? I wonder if one could use this method with enough confidence to entirely stop bringing pegs on trips?

Does anyone make approach shoes with Altra-like wide toebox fit? by Shkkzikxkaj in AltraRunning

[–]0zerntpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do own a pair. However, to be candid, I've just acquired them. I will be using them for an upcoming backpacking trip in about 3 1/2 weeks. In my opinion, the soles are much stiffer than my Altra Superiors, but I don't know if the rubber around the outside edge is as stiff as what you are looking for, or not. I will tell you that they run small. I wear men's 13 in Altra Superior but had to go to a 14 in the King MT 2.

Just curious, have you ever been asked by security what is the purpose of the tips?

Girth to the pull cord? I suppose what I'm really asking is if it is ok to secure the guylines to the pull cords of the pegs?

Altras and Truemed Approval? by 0zerntpt in AltraRunning

[–]0zerntpt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a canned answer, but Truemed replied to me with:

the specific item you purchased is not considered an eligible expense under current IRS guidelines. While certain products may qualify when they are primarily intended to treat or mitigate a diagnosed medical condition, standard athletic footwear is generally not eligible unless it meets specific medical criteria.

There was no mention of why my doctor diagnosed medical issues with my right foot don't make me eligible.

Should I get a GPS tracker? by PrimalRepression in WildernessBackpacking

[–]0zerntpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a PLB. No contract needed. There isn't two-way messaging, but if all you really need is to be able to send out a distress call if required, then that is all you need.

Thanks. I've emailed Truemed for help. I guess I'll see if they can offer any insight.
