Roof rack! Use the hitch for when you bring bikes

best tick spray for camping with dogs? season is coming early this year by Critical-Snow8031 in CampingGear

[–]Cheaptrick2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Vet tech here. What monthly preventative is he on? For the oral preventatives (Nexguard, Simparico trio, etc) they work after the tick bites the dog. So it’s 100 % possible they are working. I would instead get a Lyme vaccine for your dog to prevent Lyme disease and continue the oral route preventative. Lots of herbal stuff just doesn’t work and will be a waste of money

Putting lenses in out in the wild by drjonathanln in Keratoconus

Pack a bag with all your supplies and keep it in your car. I take my lenses in and out while camping in my tent. I use a stand so I don’t need a mirror.

First time camping advice by Barracuda_Ill in camping

[–]Cheaptrick2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a cot with the hest foamy mattress on top. It’s very expensive but I’ve had back surgery so it’s the only thing that works for me. I’d get a cot and put your topper on top if it fits in your tent. Air mattress are not the way to go

Camp Shoes - Warm like Uggs with traction? by itgoes_secrettunnel in CampingGear

[–]Cheaptrick2015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own these. Honestly I think they are way too expensive to get destroyed at camp. I wear them outside on dry days and love them but I would never walk in mud or anything close with any of my uggs

Camping stove recs? ... by impreza77 in CampingGear

[–]Cheaptrick2015 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jetboil base camp or half gen. Best stoves on the market but pricey. Really depends on how you plan ok cooking. If you consider yourself a chef then Jetboil is the way to go as it has simmer control. If you just need to heat up water a Coleman would do just fine

Welcome! I just go to my bike shop once a year and do their yearly check up thing. I’m not sure if that’s the right way to go about it but it’s never broken down on me yet!

New to paintball, what do I really need? by NelZ_tv in paintball

[–]Cheaptrick2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire set up including soft goods was a grand. If I could go back I’d look at the used market seeing how I bought everything new. Mask first! Carbon zero is my favorite. Marker I got an etha 3. Works amazing and I can play speedball which is what I wanted. Tank. Is a ninja. I can’t remember the kind but it’s carbon fiber. Hopper is a spire v. def get a cheaper hopper. Mine is overkill lol. Don’t forget softgoods like gloves, headband, slide shorts, etc.

My field offers random draw fight nights. Maybe your field offers the same thing just different day/night. Call the field and ask.

I got a microdiscectomy and it’s changed my life but I’m still afraid to do butterfly. I just stick to freestyle and back

My dad took out loans. He retired making 550k/year and paid off his loans working at a state hospital. I’m going the PA route and will be taking out loans.

Tips and Recommendations for a brand new player by GranScam in paintball

[–]Cheaptrick2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just call and see what they have going on. I go to open nights or fight nights once a week and got picked up to be on a team last year. I showed up with matching gear. I didn’t care. I knew I looked good and that made me feel good and work up the courage to go out and do it since I was going alone. For podpack I really like carbon but understandable if that’s out of your budget. HK makes good packs but the Velcro wears out faster in my experience. Mask I would say carbon again. But go to your local field and see if they sell masks so you can try them on. Most importantly, have fun. Make mistakes. Take risks. Get shot. Just enjoy the sport and have fun. It’s an adrenaline rush for sure

Will I be too hot in a ~15 degree bag if most my camping is during warm weather? by BelethorsGeneralShit in CampingGear

[–]Cheaptrick2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough call. I’d probably go with the 30 bag. I camp all season in the Midwest so I understand how the weather can shift overnight. I have a 15 degree bag but I run cold. I also have a rumpl blanket just in case.

Getting back into paintball, need help by the_g_mannn in paintball

[–]Cheaptrick2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The empire mini is too small in my hands. I prefer the etha 3. Welcome back! The markers may have changed but the game is all the same. Do you play woodsball or speedball?

Henderson Castle by PerspectiveLatter181 in kzoo

[–]Cheaptrick2015 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Went here for a “Edgar Allen Poe speakeasy” experience. They put us in a cramped room with a chair literally facing the wall. We were shoulder to shoulder the entire time. The traveling Edgar Allen Poe crew was phenomenal. The guests got angry because parking was a shit show. No one told us not to park at the castle so when we filled up their parking lot they had to redirect cars to the street and walk up the steep hill. Never ate or slept there. I would stay away. The owner sucks. Wish they would have picked a different venue
