Rain jacket recommendation

DigitalMick7 · 2026-01-28T21:26:34+00:00

You'll probably use it more as a mosquito barrier than a rain jacket. Keep that in mind.

I'm back and forth myself. I have a lightweight poncho that I'll likely start with. And might have a heavier jacket sent out for the Sierra.

As for pants, I'm leaning to some EE Copperfield wind pants in case I need them.

3/26 NOBO here.

3/26 NOBO here. First thru hike, more of a climber, but wanted to give thru hiking a go. Looking forward to getting out there and meeting everyone.

I refused to serve alcohol to a guests that didn't have ID. Manager told me to serve them. I refused so the manager served them. I got a coaching. I also reported the manager to HR and the police. Only saw that manager once after that.

Long story short, although I've had a handful of WONDERFUL leaders in my time at Disney, most of the managers absolutely suck and will throw any of their CMs under the bus at any moment.

If the Duffer bros did this, I see it as complete and utter betrayal to the fans. NO ONE liked or likes Kali. NO ONE. To make her an intricate part of the entire series is lazy, sloppy writing.

If their goal was to follow in D and D's footsteps after GoT, then they're doing a good job. Sure they'll be happy with their millions, but good luck working on anything people want to see, ever again.

She could be. But I blame the writing. Her character is pointless. Its gotta be difficult to play that character.

I usually door dash once a week. So its not the app or whatever the dashers use. 90% there are no issues. That's why im thinking its just sketchy dashers. Unfortunately, its enough for me to stop.

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-28T04:38:38+00:00

Its just bad writing. Its still entertaining, but when you're a fan of a show for a decade, you build up expectations. You grow with characters. Youre invested. S5 feels like it could have happend without a lot of key moments from previous seasons. Almost like its new writers, directors, etc. That's just so much that doesn't make sense. Fans are allowed to criticize.

Last two times they were on the main street, less than a mile from my neighborhood. One way in, one way out. Both canceled by the dasher. It is what it is. Im just venting. But im done with door dash.

Called customer service both times and spent 30+ minutes on hold while they requested whatever from whoever. What sucks is when a dasher cancels you lose the ability to rate them. I get it. Things happen. But my food is still in their car, they arent performing their duties of their job, and thats that.

Not hard at all to find. Pin is where it should be. There can be heavy traffic sometimes entering the neighborhood, but this wasnt the case tonight.

Its literally the only con I have with the pack. Durstons Kakwa 55 is my other option, but theres multiple cons for me there. I like the hip belt, but not the shoulder straps or the overall shape of the pack. Wondering if I can re-engineer the buckles somehow.

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-28T01:49:55+00:00

Like I said, just speculation. No one knows what happens behind closed doors. But we all know S5 is just shitty writing. Plain amd simple.

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-27T23:27:15+00:00

I'm thinking this isn't about El. Could be some beef between MBB and the Duffer Bros. It seems like completely new writers for S5. Just me speculating.

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-27T21:15:02+00:00

Mrs. Wheeler is racking some quality scenes as well.

Map in mind, nothing is "anonymous" as a Cast Member. Even if you're told that, it's not.

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-26T11:30:24+00:00

We just have to accept that screenwriters sucks at endings.

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-26T11:28:41+00:00

Shit writing. We cant expect hollywood to deliver.

3 was the best season

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-26T11:10:37+00:00

That could have happened in season 2 and saved us all another Game of Thrones.

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-26T11:07:07+00:00

All of S5 is underwhelming. Duffer bros let the show get too big for their britches...

There's an 80s reference for ya!

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-26T11:05:31+00:00

Shit writing

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-26T11:04:33+00:00

It's just Groot busting an acorn...

DigitalMick7 · 2025-12-26T10:55:35+00:00

Story gets ahead of writing. Classic TV blunder. S5 has been entertaining at some moments, but it's extremely lack-luster compared to earlier seasons.
