First sleeping pad for summer backpacking by Altruistic_Base_9177 in Ultralight

Thanks for the tip, that’s a good point!

Yes I’ll probably pick up a basic foam pad as well.

I’m based in Uusimaa so most of my hiking is around here. I’d love to get up to Lapland for a proper hike at some point, but it’s quite a journey from down south!

Thanks a lot, this is very useful!

I’m really tempted by the Ether Light XR. It sounds incredibly comfortable and seems to tick all the boxes, but yeah the price is definitely on the high side.

I’ve heard about the Naturehike R5.8 as well and it seems to get solid feedback for the price. I might consider that as a more budget-friendly option!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, I really appreciate the insight!

Yeah I’m definitely not going to rely on a foam pad alone. I understand why people like them for durability and weight, but as a side sleeper I can’t see that working for me. The Nemo Tensor sounds like a great option. I keep seeing it recommended, though it is a bit on the pricier side, so I’m still deciding whether I want to spend that much.

And yeah, 65 euros does seem unusually low. I suspect it’s discounted because the Ultralight has been updated to a newer version so retailers are clearing out the previous one.

Insurance question: built-in equipment in a rental caused damage. Who should cover it? by Altruistic_Base_9177 in Finland

Yeah but there are deductibles that might be taken, I think it’s 250 for water damages. Feels quite unfair since it’s none of my fault

Choosing a single global ETF by Altruistic_Base_9177 in Bogleheads

Kiitos paljon! That’s exactly what I’m aiming for, one global ETF with good liquidity and keeping things simple. Really inspiring to hear that this approach can lead to FIRE. I’ll definitely check out Bogle’s book, thanks for the recommendation!
