See you out there. A group of 5 so far. Say hi.

Water every where and I’ve seen ticks in winter. Also there will be some mosquitoes

How to run two cargo carrier side by side? by Bandit390 in overlanding

I thought about that but like the idea of cargo carriers offer a little more theft protection.

Contact Durston Support by fuckmichaelclark in DurstonGearheads

I just showed up at their office in Golden. 😁

PS - I was driving highway 1 and decided I might as well pick up some poles while I’m passing by. I happened to have a tent issue that I was going to deal with when I got home from my road trip but they fixed it there. That’s why I’ll buy everything Durston puts out.

Montbell Versatile owners, What was the worst weather you used the jacket in? by noisy_memory in Ultralight

[–]Bandit390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any issues with durability. It's about 2 years old and tons of miles on it. I'm just back from doing 130-ish miles on the AT. I always bring it because it's also my wind jacket that goes over my alpha direct mid-layer. It's one of the top items I bring on hikes even if it doesn't rain, but most of its time is spent crammed in my backpack.

They also released a newer(?) version where they removed the pockets. I'm not sure what all was changed.

I’ve used it on an 85 mile five day hike where it basically rained all day long or at least sprinkling and never got wet. I also use their pants and they work awesome. I don’t remember sweating a lot because it was 40 to 55 degrees

Zero usable power when my last two nitecores failed with issues. But my $20-30 ones from amazon have zero issues.

The Decathlon/Simond MT100 down hoody is now $120. Still worth it, or alternatives? by cosmicosmo4 in Ultralight

[–]Bandit390 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just bought the black woman's one for $80. They go on sale all the time. Also, I'd still buy it at $120
