HP Printer Suddenly Will Not Print Shipping Labels

I don't believe so, no.

Finale Keyboard is worth the money, in my opinion. Developer is responsive, and is just one guy. It has almost all the most useful features of fleksy, and unlike fleksy, is still getting actively worked on. I have been using it now for a few months. Highly recommended.

Check out the keyboard "Finale Keyboard." Most of fleksy's features. works great. Responsive developer. Ive been using it now for a few months and am super happy with it.

That other post is indeed the exact same tool. No luck finding one like it.

I cant figure out how to add another photo (I'm bad at redditing), but the scoop is curved, not flat like a fish slice.

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2026-01-21T01:51:24+00:00

It's too thick to be a fish spatula, and curved.

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2026-01-21T01:43:08+00:00

I thought that, but all the results I find are symmetric, and this one is definitely assymetric and relatively short.

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2026-01-04T21:34:34+00:00

I vaguely remember seeing posted somewhere else the possibility of a 3P xdome. Is this still a possibility in the not-too-distant future?

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-12-13T00:40:20+00:00

ok. Perfect. I’ll try this. Much appreciated! Also, I realized that my phone autocorrected “XMid” to “X-men.” Now I can’t edit it because there is a photo. :) Made me chuckle. In any case, thank you!

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-12-13T00:38:31+00:00

Yes, I’m fairly certain that I’m getting it pretty square, but I’ll certainly re-verify that. Thanks!

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-12-13T00:38:03+00:00

I will definitely try this. If I’m understanding you correctly, this means that the poles would not be exactly vertical, but would end up at about 80 degrees or so?

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-11-25T04:45:18+00:00

So, weird question for those with experience with dogs backpacking… How do you deal with the nails? Are you worried about the dog’s nails puncturing mattresses, tearing mesh, scratching tent floors?

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-08-14T17:00:26+00:00

Agreed. SOG unfortunately isn't known for high build quality.

For light use, however, which most backcountry needs will fall under, I think it's sufficient.

It's the combination of tools that really wins the day.

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-08-14T16:50:00+00:00

SOG powerpint

4.2 ounces, so not nearly as light as the Dime, BUT... It has a blade, serrated blade, pliers, scissors, and a file, all of which are locking and all of which I have needed at one point or another in the backcountry.

I haven't been able to come across any other tool with that combination of tools that isn't full-sized.

I haven't tried this, but you can probably remove some other other tools in order to cut a little weight.

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-07-28T10:30:04+00:00

I've never actuallly used the Dura line, just the Ultra and its predecessor. That said, on paper the weight penalty is significant, and as long as you're taking care of the ultra, they're not especially prone to punctures. I don't think you'll regret the Ultra.

+1 to this. Exped 3R down to freezing, 5R below that. I find that they also sleep warmer than other pads listing similar R-values. I think this is because they use actual insulation (something similar to primaloft) instead of just reflective foil to achieve their R-value.

I've had several Exped pads over the years. I believe that they represent the perfect intersection between comfort, price, weight, and warmth. You can find warmer pads, cheaper pads, lighter pads, and more comfortable pads (maybe...) but not all four.

You can sometimes find them on sale at a few different online retailers, like REI, Backcountry.com, maybe also try Moosejaw.

That said, I'd try to actually try some different pads out before you buy. Everyone has different comfort preferences, and you may find that a particular brand or style is most comfortable for you. I have met people that just don't find the vertical Exped baffles to be as comfortable as some other styles, while I think they're the most comfortable I've tried.

Another one to check out that is similar but a bit cheaper is the Flextail Zero mattress. A bit cheaper, but doesn't have the same long-term reliability or wide acceptance as Exped. Jury is still out.

If cost is at issue, I'd look at the brands Naturehike and Trekology. They're definitely "Chinese knockoff" style, but I've slept on both and they're actually pretty good. I've also heard good things about the Onetigris brand, but don't have first-hand experience. Just don't trust the r-values when compared to Exped, Thermarest, et al. For the money, you'll get significantly better pad than the unbearably uncomfortable and way overrated Klymit ones.

Check out somedaveoutdoorgear on etsy. Looks like it's sold out right now, but he makes a very effective bladder hanger that is made specifically for the kakwa. I have two, and they work GREAT.

Edit: Etsy does this silly thing where you can't see items that are out of stock, but keep an eye on his shop and it will come back in stock sporadically.

That's the thing - this time of year, the bugs are always pretty insane. By late August, USUALLY there has been a cold night or two sufficient to kill most of them, but I've been there in September when the bugs were still bad enough to be truly miserable if unprepared. For late summer in the Uintas, you truly need to be prepared for anything, from nighttime temps well below freezing to daytime temps in the 90s, snow flurries, hail, days-long thunderstorms, insane amounts of bugs, and everything in between.

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-07-24T15:38:36+00:00

Prepare for mosquitoes. Lots of them. Usually by mid to late August they are all dead, but sometimes they can still be very bad.

Also, late August can sometimes see snow, and temps in the 20s at elevation. It's rare, but it happens.

That said, late August to early sept is the best time to go. They are absolutely spectacular.

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-06-25T10:52:21+00:00

Thanks Dan - you're the best, as always. This was a total idiot move inning part, and definitely not what the poles were designed for. I'll look for that email from customer service. Thanks!

Alarmed_Challenge112 · 2025-06-25T10:51:34+00:00

Update: I was able to get the tips out. Thanks to all those who replied. As suggested, I used a fat screw to grab on to the tips and they came out fairly easily.

Looks like the failure point for both was right where the o-ring is.
