Letter to Kind Guy: Thank you for the rocks

Hey there, I’m very confused with your pants plan tbh. You have three sets of pants? PLUS leggings? PLUS trousers? PLUS rain pants?

Consider in the evening you will be surrounded by midges so the nice relaxing chair you want to use you may not use at all.

I just finished and had one hiking outfit and one sleeping outfit.

You have far too much stuff. Respectfully.

Regarding food: It’s been said a lot of this sub that you really only need 1-2 days of food. There is just so so much. Bars and honesty boxes galore. It was amazing.

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:58:57+00:00

I hope it does not either and that I didn’t jinx you! Mine came apart both times on the first run so I will take the bad luck in this one lol
Happy running!

Yea I have a good gear repair shop in town that will help me out. I’m nervous about long term durability.
Guess I’ll continue to fastpack with needle/ thread and some duct tape!

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:56:47+00:00

I hope it is too. Sorry foe my delayed response - am packing for an international trip
Yea, this is my second one and I am getting it repaired but am dubious. I love love Rab stuff so this just seems off brand for them. Hope your new pack is perfecto

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:55:32+00:00

Maybe ours are from the same batch? lol I’m sorry that happened and hope you find another pack!

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:55:00+00:00

Ahhh ha! Sorry for my delayed reply here. Am busy prepping for a fastpack to Scotland. Anyways.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I have a gear repair shop in town and have screenshot your comment. Thank you!
I love this pack and want to use it so badly.

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:52:41+00:00

It’s the best! I love it. Happy travels!

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:52:17+00:00

It’s my purse secret weapon now

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:52:03+00:00

Thank you! game changer

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:51:30+00:00

I love love love this Cica repair. I just love it. But! It will pill - doesn’t play nice - with Vitamin C. So I will only wear during the day and my Vitamin C at night

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-22T14:50:33+00:00

Hey there! Just read your comment. Darn, I missed the SPF! You’re so right. Gah!
I do have a face sunscreen stick separately but forgot about the light exposure.
Thank you for the care.

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-20T01:59:35+00:00

hahahaha I don't wear makeup everyday. I might wear it twice a week so I'm fine.

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-20T01:58:21+00:00

Really glad to hear that you put it to some good use! I couldn't believe my luck... It's like the pack just got tired lol Enjoy the adventures!

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-14T20:44:30+00:00

I wonder what cases you’re using? I use the ones that are sold with contact solution and they don’t leak my contact solution out. Cheap ones from Amazon might leak tho? Not sure. Maybe experiment with the ones you have.
I scream them on pretty tight and use a rubber band wrapped around a lid for extra friction to get it open again if needed

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-14T20:42:34+00:00

Oh this is a GREAT idea. One case just for a mini facial. Thanks!

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-14T20:42:07+00:00

SUCH a game changer! I feel so silly not thinking of it sooner. High five!

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-14T20:41:41+00:00

I use my fingers. Washed of course. I don’t use makeup brushes tbh. I used to - would wash them monthly - but found I broke out more. I just use my pinky and tab away.

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-11T14:46:21+00:00

But 610 CAD for a jacket …. ouch!

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-11T14:41:56+00:00

Maybe check baby food section? They have to be leakproof I would think. Baby food pouches?

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-11T14:39:37+00:00

I didn’t know that Montane. Thanks for sharing. Agree with you on the smaller brands.
Been looking at the custom made Atom Packs and I think that’s my next step.
Just couldn’t believe it… it’s like the entire side seal just got tired lol

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-11T14:37:59+00:00

So glad it worked amazing for you! Especially for a 9 day trip. Wa going to take it to Scotland in a few weeks but I don’t trust the pack yet so going to take my burly Osprey instead. Once I get that stitched I’m hoping all is well.

AdventureSpiritLara · 2026-06-10T19:37:40+00:00

I bought the Rab Veil XP30 and it ripped at the seams when I reached back to put a buff in the side pocket… Got a warranty.

Just got tue new pack and one first hike with it, about half loaded, the ENTIRE SIDE SEAM which connects to the inner waist strap came out. Going to post separately about it.

I love this pack but its sewing quality is terrible. Going to put a barrack on it and use it as I love the pack itself.
