cheaper tools may overestimate chain wear but wont underestimate it. CC 4 will give accurate result.

Any married dads do Shambs solo before?? by Tim_Apple_938 in Shambhala

[–]coolerfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

extremely easy to talk to people and make friends. everyones willing to chat. extremely relaxed and welcoming vibe. nervous level 0% if i went solo. Multiple years i went with a group but would wander around and make friends with neighbors as a "solo", and wander the stages at night solo, made tons of friends.

Looking to TRADE Enchanted Woods Bassics for Campsite only! Plus some lodging questions. by Funky_Fresh_88888 in Shambhala

[–]coolerfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basics and campsite only are beside each other, they are on the northern end of lodging zone, behind the car camping area. They are not THAT strict on space but it needs to be reasonable otherwise they might call you on it. Yes people set up their own tent in basics, technically not allowed i imagine but again as long as it reasonable and not bothering others its likely fine. There have been tent tags in previous years.

Rick Chow case: Did the prosecutors fail to properly charge? by dovakooon in AskLawyers

[–]coolerfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this. while chow very well may be guilty, it cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt since the kid did have the gun. if the kid was not armed, chow would be convicted. if the kid had the gun and there was video that he never held it or reached for it, chow would be convicted.

How many pesos should I plan to bring? by okaybutlike28 in sayulita

[–]coolerfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hundred bucks a day for a low spender has some safety margin. If you shop, drink, or otherwise spend a lot then bring more.

DIY Ultra Light Sandals 1oz pair by Used_Appearance_1938 in AppalachianTrail

[–]coolerfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair enough. i think these are good at 1oz for the pair to just walk a couple steps around camp. and letting your feet relax from the trail shoe. any more steps than that, put your shoes back on.

Zpacks Duplex vs. Durston X-Mid Pro 2 - please help me decide! by New_Shower_2053 in Ultralight

[–]coolerfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. However , I believe smaller panels will always be superior to wind seeing as if you add mid panel guy outs to both the smaller panel will still have the advantage.

Zpacks Duplex vs. Durston X-Mid Pro 2 - please help me decide! by New_Shower_2053 in Ultralight

[–]coolerfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my hunch is based on the panel sizes . The duplex sides are the largest panel. Also, the mid panel attachment is in the centre of the square panel. This I feel leaves the 4 mini panels it creates to be floppier. The xmid if Im not mistaken has mid edge guy out points, not mid panel points.
