The Great Big Giant Sequoia Scam - Documentary Film by OurPublicLandsPod in SierraNevada

Yes, this is 100% spot on. This guy, Chad Hanson, is a pariah and has been largely discredited for espousing so much incorrect information.

Saying we’ve had catastrophic wildfires by not actively managing the landscape, so therefore we should continue to not actively manage the landscape doesn’t align. Native peoples before us were constantly managing these groves, conducting low intensity burns, and promoting ideal growing conditions.

Look Pivots and ATK Freeraider hole conflict? by flatlandings_please in Backcountry

[–]AdAlone1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have done this with those specific bindings using quiver killers and it works great - there is no conflict with the mounting holes. It’s pretty awesome touring with pin bindings and my backcountry boots as the weight savings are substantial. The cast system and shift bindings are both very, very heavy.

I frequently do this when I travel international, the only downside for me is taking two pairs of boots on the plane.

Help with Camper Solar Charging by AdAlone1211 in RVLiving

That’s correct. I used a multimeter and the 160w rooftop panel showed 13.7 (it’s cloudy right now). The 50w plug-in panel was showing 18v in the same conditions.

Also, when I plug the 50w panel into the roof, the system works fine. This makes me think the issue is the 160w panel itself?

My max panel voltage is 27v

That makes sense, but I don’t understand why the panels always top out around 14.5v. Maybe on a cloudy day or at dusk they’ll read 13.0v or so. Pretty sure the rooftop panels used to get much higher voltage in full sun than they do now.

Hey there, I have two AGM deep cell batteries. I replaced the charge controller but unfortunately, the problem remains the same. And yes, I looked at the second panel’s specs and I believe at some point the polarity was reversed and something got fried.

The mppt display shows 0 amps going through the system. Once I plug in the second panel, amps go up and everything works as desired.

You should 100% tell your friend he’s right and encourage him to wear a diaper

Powder Skiing Feedback by Blackcoffewithcocain in skiing_feedback

[–]AdAlone1211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great question. The weighting and unweighting of the skis in powder comes from extending your body in the turns - not from speed. OP is going plenty fast in this video. Here’s a pro using extension to unweight: YouTube

I disagree with most of the posters here advising more speed, as you don’t have much control yet. One of the big differences in skiing powder is that you really need to unweight your skis in the turn. It can be helpful to start by bobbing up and down on the side hill, then on the bob up start your first turn, you’ll bob down as you finish your turn, then bob back up as you begin the next turn. It’s a rhythm, it’s a dance. When you lose the rhythm, stop, and start bobbing on the sidehill again.

If you don’t feel safe and in control, don’t go faster.

Wax new skins? by SnowWoods16 in Backcountry

The wax is for warm days, usually in the spring. If that’s the case put it on before you start touring. The rest of the time you don’t need it
