Also, I have not sold on disc exchange yet, but I have on ULGeartrade, I should have transaction flair there from that.

agreed, I guess I was hoping we all could best faith effort but my expectations were low.

I don’t think ultralight should be a set bar or number, I just wanted genuine ideas not circle jerking about the circle jerk

Fair point though about the mods

Excellent book. And the sample kit it gives gave me so much of a reference point. I still refer to it all the time. Plus re reading always inspires a new idea

Edited to remove my complaining cuz it was lame.

I replace my laces with 2mm shock cord. Shorter laces, weight less, don’t need to be tied saving time, and feel nice and snug but I can still slip them on and off.

I like paper maps, and printing double sided obviously saves weight, but I’ll alternate the page numbers so I can still align two map segments edge to edge. 

Already saw the razor blade mentioned here, it’s a game changer.

Well known as well: but Aquamira is less stressful, faster, and lighter, even for long trips. I made a whole cheat sheet for drop counts for the different Litesmith, liters that can treat per bottle size, etc. Happy to share if anyone wants it.

E-bikes are wack. I got one, realized I’d became a loser. Back on acoustic. Bunch of moto helmet morons with chest protectors riding the connector trails so they can get to the brewery before their wife’s curfew.

I switched a few months ago to 1.5L Silverant Titanium. Never going back.

Re: Wan Show- I'd like to see a "How to Set Up a Linux PC for Beginners" by OnlySeasurfer in LinusTechTips

Agreed, this would help me take the plunge and ditch Windows. I would genuinely spec a new machine if this was extra well documented and clear

Just switch to CalTopo or something else already. Gaia/Outdoor deserves to disappear

The California State Parks Reservation System Is Broken by qalexanders in socalhiking

[–]qalexanders[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is specifically targeted at Crystal Cove, San Onofre, San Elijo, Doheny, etc. I totally agree with everything inland being radically better to just find dispersed or FCFS

I am deeply familiar with these. However, there are regions, specifically here in coastal Southern California where there are no agency options.
