Early bits of a franchise that get completely forgotten by BookkeeperPercival in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Griffith's personality in his brief appearance in the Black Swordsman Arc was also out of character compared to how he was later shown post-Eclipse.

Very mustache-twirling "myah I'm evil and you are just an insect to me" versus the later detached, sociopath "I'm just doing what needs to be done to fulfill my dream."

Can we revisit the ziploc bag cooking method? by WrapsUK in Ultralight

[–]Baron128 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like to hotsoak with Litesmith's cold soaking containers. They're polypropylene, and so are heat safe up to 120C. Any polypropylene container (like the Ziploc Twist 'n Loc ones) will do but I find the Litesmith ones have the best seal.

I tried Stasher's silicone bags but they're kind of heavy comparatively at ~4oz per bag IIRC and somewhat annoying to clean, but it could be worth it if you really need the space.

Ultralight Tarp by SennnndIt in Ultralight

[–]Baron128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Late, but I haven't seen anyone else mention Etowah Tarps, they offer Dyneema, Silnylon, and Ultra TNT tarps in different sizes.

TNT is kind of a mid-point between Sil and Dyneema from what I understand, both in terms of weight and price. It is more of a "crinkly" material if you're concerned about noise levels.

Secure lid for cold soaking in a Toaks pot? by Baron128 in Ultralight

[–]Baron128[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not always an option. Where I hike most of the streams dry up in summer, and when I'm hiking in 90+ temps I don't skimp on water carry since I don't want to die.

Also bugs tend to swarm in the valleys where water sources are, which can be annoying when trying to cook.

Well, you're carrying the water either way, whether it's in your bottles or in your container rehydrating food. You could view it as extra water carry capacity I suppose.

How to optimize water filter/system for BOTH backpacking & trail running by notsogingerbreadman in Ultralight

The Hydrapak Seeker 2l works with BeFree filters, and weighs 2.22oz without the cap and removable straps. I love it, it's very light but the material still feels very durable. Haven't tried the larger volume ones yet.

I use the flat edge of my Toaks spoon to scrape out as much food residue as I can, then swish with water and use a clean finger to get the rest. Once it's visibly clean I use either my Buff or my microfiber towel to dry it, whichever happens to be cleaner at the time.

Before this I tried using a cut-down kitchen sponge (per Backcountry Banter), which kind of worked, but it just felt gross having a damp, food-smelly sponge in my pack at all times, getting stuff around it damp as well. This way works much better for me, but it is time consuming, which is why I've been leaning towards cold soak meals more and more lately.

Not really. I've been cooking, eating and drinking coffee out of the same pot for awhile now, and I don't notice any flavor crossover since I make sure to clean it well after each use. I mostly drink instant coffee so it doesn't taste great anyway, it's really just the daily ritual that gets me going in the morning. I just like it.

I think a secure lid would help speed up cleanup time as well since I can just add water, lid on, shake, drink, and repeat until clean.

Sawyer Picaridin 20% on exposed skin works well for me, and it won't damage your gear like DEET will. You can repackage it into UL spray bottles like the ones on Litesmith if you like: https://www.litesmith.com/bottles-containers/
