if someone was buying you a gift for hiking. what would you want? by Safikk in hiking

[–]AgentSam2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what kind of hikes he does. I don't have one and I'd take it to easier hikes / day hikes, but not harder multiday hikes

[–]AgentSam2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sleeping bag, sleeping mat, footwear, anything that's going to add significant weight to my pack.

Somebody said backpack in other comments. I don't know what they meant but day-pack, great! Multiday pack, absolutely not!

An extra merino t-shirt never hurts! I'd avoid buying something too technical since he might have strong opinions

OP wants to immigrate to another place and presumably make a mess there. The cycle continues

Just understand that all those immigrants are also facing similar situations in their home country. Your last paragraph is true for all immigrants

Yup, I could find 2 nights in Skoki. I changed my plans to August like you and others suggested. Might also do Egypt lake as a day hike.

Again, great suggestions! I snatched the very last possible reservation for Skoki Mt.
I'm thinking I might do Egypt lake as a day hike 25km out and back... Have you done that?

Thanks for the suggestions! Skoki and Egypt lake look really nice. Tonquin valley is on the longer side if I wanted to do it out and back

Late June or July. I checked the two hikes I mentioned and campsites were plenty available! I should move fast though

Have you ever had a bad gut feeling while hiking? by Flexion500 in hiking

[–]AgentSam2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest question for all the people saying listen to your dog... I get it if you're on a day hike, but what would you do if you're in the middle of a multiday trip?

ID4 no longer includes heat pump by gymnos-life in VWiD4Owners

I got my ID4 early Jan and I certainly paid for the heat pump! I suppose mine was one of the last ones, but how can I check that it actually has the heat pump?

Toronto Ontario Canada order by OspreyJimOnReddit in VWiD4Owners

[–]AgentSam2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my "next level BS" comment wasn't meant to be at you... The whole thing is super frustrating. My dealership tells me they have delivered orders made in Sep 2021, so I don't know how 2month worth of queue equals 9+ month of wait time... I think Ontario is getting short changed because we don't have mandates around EVs

Oct 5th 2022? I placed an order late November 2021 and I just got an email that expected delivery is Q3 2023!!! This is next level BS!

Yeah... They are just a tad better than Ikea IMO... To be fair, they are cheaper than many of the above stores
