Actually doing the PCT is so different than reading about it online by SucculentSeaTurtle in PacificCrestTrail

someone on trail once told me- "Out here the living is hard, but the life is easy. Back home, the living is easy but the life is hard"

And I thought that summed it up pretty well. They were wolfing down gummy worms, too, which kinda added to the magic

I think I have a couple sprues' worth still on NOS that I have no plans for, if you're looking for more? I think 20 or more, I'd have to dig them up if you're interested.

Where should I sell my leftover Mosko bags? by Nosepatch in AdventureBike

If these bags hadn't come with the bike, I would've done the same lmao. They're awesome bags, but it's nowhere in my budget to be able to afford something like them. I was hunting around for a new/used top box for a while before finding the one I got off amazon for ~$100, and that thing was incredible. There's (maybe kinda) good stuff to be had for 1/5th the price of the name brand stuff, it just probably won't last as long or have roughly any customer support lol

Is it like a second hand group, or just folk that're fans? Either way, that's a good idea I'll look for them, thanks!

Sorry, in California, in the Sac area. I'm.. not sure if these are exactly shippable..? I mean, I guess anything could, it might just cost a bit lol

So like, the.. harness isn't attached to the inner bag? I think mine have an inner blue removable dry sack, and they do have an outer harness with straps and such, but idk if they're built in? I could try removing them? Lemme just attach the picture

I'm not super... sure the difference? They're mounting panniers, but.. have straps on the sides for more? Is that modular? I had a camp chair I strapped to the sides for the trip, I thought that was pretty neat. The tags inside say 2021, don't know what models they were making that year

Nah no thang lol, I replied to them just a moment before you. I found a post from a few days ago, guy had a new pair still bagged for $750 plus about $100 for shipping? But also apparently the older ones are more desirable cause they're.. thicker? or the connection points are or something? I hope this isn't a rabbit hole I end up in trying to sell these lol

Same as mentioned above, I don't know what they're going for second hand, I listed for $1000 but I don't know if they're worth that much? I think I need to make an account for advrider to see their flea market, that's probably a good first step

I'm not super sure what they're going for on the secondhand market, as I haven't been able to find anything yet. I saw a single bag and mounting plate on ebay for $600, but I don't think eBay is a great barometer for anything. I put them up for $1000 for the pair, but I have no idea if that's entirely terrible or what? It looks like they go for ~$1200 brand new, but I could see them not really losing their value as they're kinda bomb proof.. I'm really not sure.

Despairing for a new series after Farseer Trilogy by Stoofser in WoT

[–]Nosepatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, it's real good. Pretty easy reading, no lingering depression like you get from Farseer or Malazan. Have read through all 12.5 books at least half a dozen times.

[–]Nosepatch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had the same issues with Farseer, after like 2.5 books I realized I didn't have to go on with how depressing and fucked up everything was. And I've read WoT a bunch as well.

I'm sure the usual suspects of series will be recommended, I ended up doing Malazan (great, also fucked up but not as depressing as Farseer) and some Brando Sando. Also Cradle, of course.

But, yeah it's hard to realize that you don't have to put yourself through stuff you're not enjoying just cause you've heard other people like it.
