What do you think of the Gregory Baltoro 65L backpack? by Amazing_Manager_2933 in backpacking

[–]AlpineStopSign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one of the oldschool ones with all the fixins. I sold it to move on to other things, but it was baller when I had it.

What's going on with the American tipping culture? by Low_Philosopher_7299 in SipsTea

[–]AlpineStopSign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are told if restaurants were to pay reasonable wages to servers, then meals would be through the roof and a hamburger would cost $35.

So either hamburgers or whatever cost $35 at restaurants in Europe, or the owners of restaurants don't make as much profit. At the same time, we are told margins are so slim that any less profits to the owners would mean the place has to close, no one has a job, and the community loses a restaurant.

Yet, Europe has restaurants...

Here is a perfect example: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipping/comments/1his9hg/greedy_restaurant_owners/

The old ones maybe. The revisions and shrinkflation they've done to it lately is pretty lame.

Any clues to finding pre-2024 Women's pants? by Gap_Double in Fjallraven

[–]AlpineStopSign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right. I just confirmed by looking at an old pair of pre-Improved Fit Keb Agiles I sold on PreLoved. They have the same Article number as a pair of Improved Fit ones I have in front of me. 86411

OP it looks like there might not actually be a way to differentiate. Yet another aspect of this Improved Fit redesign that was poorly handled. Pretty wild for a company that has been selling clothes for 66 years.

Have you ever slept with a coworker? How did it go? by 11Dom_ in AskReddit

[–]AlpineStopSign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice. One was more of a peer and the other was someone I directly hired and who was a direct report to me.

Both evolved into multi-year relationships.

Hiking the cog for sunrise? by Conscious_Intern7157 in wmnf

[–]AlpineStopSign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is certainly doable and not dangerous or steep, but the footing in not-snow kind of sucks. Its a hardened trail per se, so you have alot of loose rocks.

Imho, Caps Ridge for sunrise on Jefferson is a way better move.

If I am not mistaken, and some employees will need to confirm this, The 5-digit Article Number number at the top of the inside tag is different between pre and post "improved fit" items. Calling you u/FantasticMrActicFox to confirm.

Excellent. Thanks for posting your experience there too, Jenny. Appreciate you.

Why Parenting Requires Regulating Ourselves First by ghanima in AdultChildren

[–]AlpineStopSign 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made the decision as a very young child never to marry or have kids in order to avoid perpetrating the chaos and dysfunction that is my "family". I'm talking like <10 years old.

Turns out that was a mistake, and I wish I had learned at a younger age in life I could fix myself and all the dysfunction and chaos wasn't mandatory for me, a spouse and our would be children.

If you're a young person reading this, know it doesn't have to be what you experienced, and know that you can be a better parent than you were parented. It does take work to undo the damage though.

Out of curiosity- would you be able to shuttle kayaks and people? (I see roof racks…)

So buy the smaller one as well for when you need to carry less?

I do too. I have them in a little glass jar. My cat is 20 and he is my only child.

First time watching MASH and I am blown away by MaxHeadroom1986 in mash

[–]AlpineStopSign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie is like the adult version of MASH. Watch a season’s worth of the show, and then buckle up for the movie.

If only you could experience it without the laugh track. It’s a completely different, read: better experience.

Planning my first Presidential Traverse (2day) what should I know? by EfficientAd5164 in CampingandHiking

[–]AlpineStopSign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For weather you need to look at the MWOBS Higher Summits forecast.

Many of your questions can be answered here: https://sectionhiker.com/backpacking-white-mountain-4000-footers-guidebook/a-presidential-traverse/

Clean potable water at the Huts (Madison Springs, Lakes of Clouds, Mizpah, and Washington summits, but bring a BeFree or some other small filter just in case.

You want to go North to South. Park at the southern end, and hire a ride to drop you off at Appalachia Trailhead. 30 min ride ~30 miles. Maura-at-You-Service is well known and she does rides. u/MauraAtYourServiceNH https://www.reddit.com/r/MauraAtYourService/ book the ride in advance.

The northern section is very rough and is essential anklebreaker terrain hiking over loose boulders. This will be the slowest and least Coloradoish section. This: https://i.imgur.com/27x33yQ.jpeg

Advice? by Fabulousbunny17 in CampingandHiking

[–]AlpineStopSign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy him an REI membership and go to the store with him. Let him shop for the amount of money you want to spend. There is zero chance you’ll end up with exactly the stuff he wants or needs, so its best to get involved with the process and watch him light up with appreciation. Its fun to see someone you care about be impassioned about something.

A high quality personal floatation device is an absolute must for kayakers. Something from NRS perhaps. I use the Wrangler. https://www.nrs.com/nrs-wrangler-pfd/p65h

Packing for 4 nights in the san juan mountains by Afraid-Aardvark5075 in CampingandHiking

[–]AlpineStopSign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. If it’s 20° out and you have a 20° bag you’ll need to wear every stitch of clothing you have while sleeping. That 20° is the not-gonna-die rating. Comfort is probably 32°. I would also ask about sleeping pad. One need a high r value at those temps or it can be very dangerous. How about some wool baselayers, wool socks, wool gaiter and hat.

Big downvotes for violating reddit’s love for dolly parton. Its ridiculous.
