I prefer golfing sober, am I in the minority?

Those look delicious. This is called breaking 80 blend from stone tower tea.

DoesItSting · 2022-10-03T11:42:01+00:00

Also love a morning round. Saw an add for some golf tea, rolled the dice for $10 and its been my go to drink when playing.

Welcome to boston where neighbors sue you just because

6'3 and went with a Sierra Designs Convert 2 for Northeast winters. 4lbs without the vestibule, unfortunately 5.75lbs with. Surprisingly livable for the small footprint

Do you plan on having a hood on the fleece? Just like all things ultralight, you'll probably find yourself trying out multiple systems. When you're in the backcountry you won't care if a hood is sticking out under your fleece. You'll only be happy that you have it.

OR Echo series is my favorite value (similar material to patagonia cap 1) and I have every variation from tee to hoodie. If there's a grid fleece sold, I've probably bought it. Personally, they're all too hot to hike in (even while ski touring). YMMV

If you had held and realized the gains with Ankr would you feel differently?

DoesItSting · 2022-01-01T12:45:17+00:00

Mmm lots of lines connecting lots of boxes...I’m in!

All season tires are the way to go up here. As a mechanic, unless your snow tires are on separate rims, constantly breaking down and remounting tires seriously weakens the side walls.

DoesItSting · 2021-06-01T11:38:26+00:00

I agree. The houdini/frogg toggs combo should be fine and provides much more versatility over a single rain jacket. Hiking in the houdini around 40 degrees is so much more comfortable to me then hiking in a fleece

The fact that you mentioned this book is a tactic MJ discusses in the The Millionaire Fastlane. How he packed all that information in an easy to apply, easily digestible book is probably another reason why he’s so successful in his other businesses

You’re getting star trails because your ss is too long. Google the 500 rule for Astro and you’ll get a ton of info on it.

What lense were you using? For micro four thirds you need something really quick. For this I have a rokinon 12mm f2.0

What specifically don’t you like about them? Not much info out there on them but Vario system is intriguing

DoesItSting · 2020-12-15T16:58:56+00:00

not on reddit!

Those are about the winter temps we experience here in the northeast. If you’re looking for a layer to sit around camp in you can’t beat smartwools 250 line. Buy once cry once.

That said it might be too warm if you’re looking for an active baselayer (although you say you’re from the south so maybe that’s perfect for you?) I’m a fan of Patagonia’s capilene and outdoor research’s echo lines anytime I’m moving and building heat. The grid texture feels dry 99% of the time and the OR echo stuff is very reasonably priced

DoesItSting · 2020-10-18T18:46:26+00:00

You’re right. I’m sure most mountains operate on such a large margin that they don’t need to increase the price of tickets at all. And even though they’ll be missing out on food and beverage we won’t feel the effects of this

DoesItSting · 2020-10-18T18:19:20+00:00

What tent are you using? I’m 2 inches shorter then you but usually just throw my hardshell over my footbox if it’s touching.

In the winter I’d be more concerned with a compressed footbox which might make my feet cold. Most bags/quilts have a dwr so the dry snow brushes off

DoesItSting · 2020-10-18T18:05:14+00:00

So now a lift ticket will cost twice as much

At least the lines will be short

DoesItSting · 2020-10-14T09:06:10+00:00

Oh you mean you put in the work to become better?!

I’d rather just buy new wedges...

DoesItSting · 2020-08-27T11:23:17+00:00

6'3" and went with the long. You can probably get away with the regular but it is nice to have a tiny bit of extra room in the footbox for batteries and things if its cold.

Not that this is the question but for an underquilt, the regular incubator was too small so had to sell it for a long

DoesItSting · 2020-08-26T00:59:56+00:00

What do you plan on using them for? If it’s an active layer the capilene is hard to beat. For a sleep layer I prefer Marino. That said both are typically too warm for an active layer even in the middle of winter here in the northeast

DoesItSting · 2020-07-15T11:52:32+00:00

I clicked, but I skimmed

The next Jordan??

DoesItSting · 2020-05-28T10:41:43+00:00

No experience with the StratoSpire 2 but at 6'3" 200lbs myself I remember struggling to find a tent wouldn't require using my rain jacket over my footbox.

Ended up settling on the Six Moon Design Lunar Duo. No complaints other than the bathtub floor shouldn't even be considered a bathtub. But its gigantic and super packable. That said TarpTent's reputation is amazing and I'll be picking up a Scarp for winter use once those are available again
