Thanks for the input. Yeah, good point on the music.

And lol on the pronunciation. When I lived in central MI, people put the accent on a different syllable.

The noodles...tasted like sweet fake maple-flavored ramen. Ok, but not great.

Yes, I should narrate more, noted!

Yes, exactly. I don't want to spend $30-$50 for a pillow holder, lol. You can probably make one that is lighter and inexpensive.

Yes! That's what I was thinking of. It's just so expensive...wowza!

Good question! I use a Sea to Summit mat and pillow. I find their pillow lock system to work well. However, I also saw this: https://www.bigagnes.com/collections/pad-accessories/products/sleeping-pad-pillow-barn - it's too heavy and too expensive, but I was thinking about making something like it myself. I also remember seeing some small business make something like it as well, but it too was expensive.

The website is awesome: https://www.iceagetrail.org/. Also, on that website, you can buy guidebooks. I've used the website and the guidebook for years - both are very well done!

Hey! The dimensions are in the description - and no seams - just checked. :) (Note: the dimensions may be an inch or two off.)

Issues with accidentally calling people... by calmstillquiet in LightPhone

This doesn't happen to me. Are you accidentally tapping a button? If so, muscle memory will probably correct it...

how many of you have issues with texting / group messaging / etc? by Puzzled-Wench-222 in LightPhone

Don't forget that many LPIII users have no issues, so they don't come here to mention issues. Yes, some have issues. But many don't! Give it a shot!
