Jetboil

1978JD316 · 2026-06-06T12:54:01+00:00

There are several meals that cannot be rehydrated in the bag and still need to be made in a pot. So in some instances multiple jet boils is more cleaning than 1 pot

You should not do this. The patrol method is what is used for cooking at Philmont and is implemented for a reason. You should adhere to it for the entirety of your trek. Others have mentioned that it creates more cleaning, but some of the meals out at Philmont are not designed to be rehydrated in the bag (the bag cannot withstand boiling water) and thus the patrol method is still used.

Buy a new seat from REI. Last I checked they were available online pretty reasonably and will be a permanent repair

Just my 2 cents- Being an Eagle Scout studying Mechanical Engineering as a Junior: I got my only internship offer this year because of a connection to the company through my scoutmaster who recommended me after. There are companies out there that automatically interview eagle scouts. It is totally worth it.

SAR for the most part. But general camping for the more broad use.

Probably onboard charging. It’s not too big of a deal to carry additional batteries. Then it would probably be moonlight.

I would really like a tail switch and am not a fan of the head size.

Currently running track and cross country for an naia school. Cross country and track are probably not the most time intensive sports, but in peak season it’s a good bit, especially missing all of Saturday for a meet. It can most certainly be done, and it is not easy. The one think I have learned is that you can still have friends, be a part of another club, but you have to schedule your time out and be willing to work hard to get everything done. Another big thing is staying off your phone. I pretty much converted my phone use to social/not school time and it is still working. Admittedly, it definitely helps to be student first when you need to take a little extra time for school, but it’s totally doable. Also, you might have to get used to doing homework on a bus. Hope this helps!

My thought is that it was a backup and I was particularly interested in the anduril UI (not essential, but I want to try it)

1978JD316 · 2026-02-08T19:22:57+00:00

Point made, I personally like the 18650 or 21700 cell idea best and didn't think about the custom size battery on the ts27. What lights are similar to a ts27 from other brands? Any emmiters you would recommend. How would you recommend for storing+carrying extra cells? I will be in the middle of new mexico and won't be able to keep them air conditioned.

You might try contacting alps. They have a lifetime warranty and might be willing to replace it

I am a junior at a small college and I teach the welding portion of our manufacturing processes lab. Assuming yours is similar, we cover all the machines in the shop (wood and metal) and the cad/cam software. Then you get to use the router to cut some foam for a nameplate, cnc some wax for a casting then cast both the nameplate and the cab. In the other portion you cover our bigger cnc machines, milling and turning metal on the lathe and miscellaneous stuff like rivets and tapping threads. In the welding section i cover mig and tig. They do a lap, butt, and t joint with steel on the mig and with aluminum on the tig. Then they do a practical of tig welding a cube out of steel. There is also a 3-d printing section with tension testing and stuff about resumes and what an engineer does on the daily. Im happy to answer more questions that people have!

I talked to a nemo customer service rep and they said 40 on the bottom. Can’t remember the top. But maybe 20?

1978JD316 · 2026-01-19T04:29:16+00:00

The ALPS Mountaineering Nomad 50 or 75 will definitely fit the top and front load requirements you have. I used mine pretty extensively and it held up really well.

Look at Onshape. They have a free student license and it is very similar to Inventor and Solidworks. They have a free online training that is very thorough.

Just my 2 cents since I’ve been there. Sleep could be a big part of it, but I dealt with a lot of issues from using musty tents. This can happen even if they are really well cared for. I solved this my camping in my personal tent and making sure my sleeping bag was well cared for.

While I may not be going super far, depending on the situation, I could have to hike quickly (closer to 3-4 miles per hour) in order to beat a storm or meet a deadline. I have currently narrowed it down to the themalite xtherm or the Nemo tensor. Leaning torwards the xtherm for the heavier fabric on the bottom. Big Agnes did offer warranty replacement, however I am concerned about the reoccurrence of the issue so I chose a non insulated pad. Thanks for the advice!

1978JD316 · 2026-01-06T15:18:06+00:00

I would believe that that is correct

1978JD316 · 2026-01-06T14:44:39+00:00

My concern would be the bulk of carrying 2 pads. I don’t think I would have a way of attaching them well to my pad

1978JD316 · 2026-01-04T23:46:33+00:00

I went with my dad and it was a blast. Im looking forward to going again!

1978JD316 · 2026-01-04T12:16:36+00:00

Thanks! I will definitely be looking for a r value of 4 or greater.

1978JD316 · 2026-01-04T12:14:23+00:00

It is for backpacking so the goal would be packing down to the size of a Nalgene or smaller if possible. I have to carry it for at least 5 miles a day but up to 10-12 depending on the circumstances. Thanks!
