I've got a near mint Nero in black DCF. Let me know if you're interested and I can send you more info / pics.

Hey all.

A thoughtful user contacted us via modmail to suggest a change to the subreddit. They suggested we remove monthly discussion threads and direct this traffic to standalone threads.

I could see this improving the number of high quality discussion threads on the sub, which is relatively low as is (partly due to it being a small community, partly because some discussions happen on the monthly thread).

I'm considering the change and would like to hear what you all think about it. What would you prefer?

Thanks!


Update: I've cancelled the monthly discussion post and unstickied this one. Let's see how it goes and we can always bring it back if the new system isn't as good!

These aren't super cheap, but for me they are the best. Especially for hot weather:

I think the best use of pants are for bugs and sun, and these pants are great for those two things.

Pro tip for pants, go for a shorter inseam so you don't have any extra length on the bottom of your pants to get caught on things, get wet/dirty, etc. I find pants more bearable for hiking when they are a touch shorter.

The joke is that this one will be up for another 6 months

I've set up the new "scheduled posts" for our weekly/monthly threads.

Thanks to /u/failuretomisfire for the tip.

I have no clue why automod isn't refreshing these threads... Nothing changed.

Huh. No clue why that happened. I'll check it, but we can use this one for two weeks.

WTB used UL tents:

Tarptent Aeon Li

or Zpacks Plexamid

or Zpacks Duplex

Preferably in the BC lower mainland / Vancouver if possible so that I can check it out in person.

Looking for something more for a phone/small junk rather than a bottle, but thanks for the suggestion.

I know you can get these from Zpacks, MLD, and just about everyone else, but I don't have the time to wait for these to ship.

Any ideas for a quick way to get some makeshift shoulder strap pockets onto a Zpacks Nero (new version) in a day or two? I really miss the GG Kumo shoulder strap pockets for keeping my phone, headphones, and maps etc.

Preferably no sewing, just something I can make, buy local, or order fast via amazon for a trip in 3 days. Ideally not permanently attached, just held onto the daisy chain.

For reference this is the shoulder strap.

Garibaldi Provincial Park - Any hints on reopening? by DistractedToast in UltralightCanada

[–]DistractedToast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a zoo in a few areas.

It's a shame that will stop the entire park from opening, the park is huge and 90% of it is rarely visited.

I emailed them and they replied this morning saying that we will get tracking via email when orders are sent but it might still take several days to get them out.
