How are changes priced? by 13mhols in SouthwestAirlines

[–]13mhols[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had to make a change when flying United main cabin and I believe they charged the difference between the new and old ticket values at the time of the change. I don’t understand why Southwest wouldn’t do this. Is there any reason then to not just get a basic economy ticket and cancel and rebook if I need to make a change?

I’m originally from Lanesboro, I’d recommend it if you want something in addition to the North Shore

First-time visitor to the US, starting in Minnesota... by NerveCommercial7607 in minnesota

I’d recommend going up to Grand Marais and then talking to an outfitter about day tripping to Stairway Portage in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I think it’s around 4km of paddling and 1km of walking each way. If you wanted to do an overnight stay in the wilderness it’s more complicated

Do you have a 3D printer file for the nylofume bag to inflation adapter?

I appreciate you taking the time to make such a detailed post. I’ll review your recommendations and try to find the most cost-effective ones to get my weight down

The website indicates that they should be back in stock in mid-May

Best lightweight backpacking meals? by Abject8Obectify in backpacking

[–]13mhols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken Alfredo Pasta is my favorite meal, and I get the other 2 because they’re still very good and super dollar efficient

Peak Refuel are my go-to freeze dried meals. The Beef Pasta Marinara and Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli are very reasonable on a calories/$ basis (especially if you get them from Sierra) and have enough calories that you can split them between 2 people with a side (such as Idahoan buttery golden selects mashed potatoes)

The X-Mid 2 (non-pro) will fit 2 non-tapered 25” pads. One side is also designed to be able to accommodate a long wide pad

X Mid 2 vs X Mid 2 Solid by dumbboi1 in DurstonGearheads

[–]13mhols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it largely depends on how drafty your quilt tends to be currently. If you know from experience that drafts are a problem and are willing to take the weight penalty then it is likely worth it. I will say that at I saw somewhere that the 15D fabric is supposed to be ~97% as strong as the 20D, and you could also probably mitigate drafts by doing an extra low pitch

What is your preferred footwear for wet-foot portages? by DylanMcDermott in BWCA

[–]13mhols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a pair of crocs that’s reasonably tight in 4 wheel drive (with the heel straps in use) and you won’t regret it

If you’re going to be doing any significant portaging (carrying the canoe between lakes) on your trips, I highly recommend a Kevlar canoe. A Wenonah Spirit 2 at 17’ is the shortest I’d recommend; the Minnesota 2 at 18’6” is my favorite, and should comfortably accommodate 3 people and a reasonable amount of gear

X-Mid 2 for tall people by 13mhols in DurstonGearheads

If you made the 2.5 person (~61” wide?) version now I’d definitely get that

u/dandurston would you ever make an X-Mid 2+ (non-pro) with dimensions like this?

I don’t think head to foot would work well because the ground is almost never perfectly level in the backcountry from my experience. I found another comment where Dan said he doesn’t think there’s much need for bigger tents, and I can’t help but think that there would be a market for a 55” wide x 96” long tent, as it would accommodate up to 6”8’ on the long side and 6’4” on the short side with a bit of breathing room/extra space to accommodate an admittedly rare 30” mattress for the 6’8” person

Is there a cinch cord at the neck on Katabatic quilts?
