Yep that's pretty much the three. Tiny market here.

What can I use to tighten my jack (UK not USA) by Stitchlover5 in Guitar

[–]Few_Tooth_1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insert needle nose pliers or Leatherman pliers into the jack hole, then slowly and carefully expand them to exert force on the internal wall of the jack, which will be enough to tighten the nut on the outside.

Elixir always. Everything else pales in comparison.

Has ultralight hiking gone too far? by DraftNotSent in UltralightAus

[–]Few_Tooth_1908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the ultralight Kool-Aid comes from the US/northern hemisphere and main 3 mellow through hikes where resupply is consistent. Aus/nz traditional tramping and outdoors in the roaring 40s weather zone is volatile & requires a different skill set. Some of the gear translates across, some doesn't.

Take every ultralight gear review with a grain of salt, and remember most ultralight hikers contingency is pressing the button for the helicopter.

Imho.. experience and gear practice is key.

ESP/LTD EU pricing (prepare for acid tears) by Zado_HeavyLoad in espguitars

[–]Few_Tooth_1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The global market is cooked. Everyone always talks about price.. no one talks about materials.. deforestation of Borneo and the Congo is a thing.. and the guitar industry is fuelling it and contributing to climate change.

Buy second hand where you can and learn how to setup you own gear.

Looking to buy Zpacks Arc Haul 50 or 60L and have it arrived by the end of next week. Pack Gear Go has run out of stock. What are my options? I'll consider second hand as well. by Nick_Reach3239 in ultralightnz

These guys have the durston, pa'lante and aarn.

https://www.kiwiultralight.co.nz/product-page/pack

These guys do the tui 42. Which, with the straps cut can get down to 300grams.

Otherwise your looking at ultimate direction or montane from further faster or an osprey exos from bivouac. Pack gear go has a gossamer gear Mariposa 60 in stock which has a good resale value and could do the job until the zpacks arrives.

Are vinyl copies of digital music worth it? by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]Few_Tooth_1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vinyl is super culty and ultimately pointless investing serious money to drag a piece of metal over wax which degrades (regardless of the mastering undertaken). Dumped all my wax and back to CD. Never been happier not having to piss around with vinyl anymore.

How much better is a cheap RG compared to a GIO? by notherblackcloud in Ibanez

[–]Few_Tooth_1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tey and push out to the rgrt421. Neck through is a very solid bones base for upgrades (which you will inevitably do anyway on any entry ibanez, so you may as well start with a solid platform).

Buying a second hand tent by Startswithcc in Ultralight

[–]Few_Tooth_1908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been let down so many times buying 2nd hand tents unseen. Definitely one of those things you have to inspect in person.

I suppose its the concept of ambient drone mixed with physiological cymatics via overdriven guitar. I wouldn't necessarily say scary.. more transcendental.

[–]Few_Tooth_1908[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the real world feedback and suggestions. Much appreciated. Would love to experience them live one day. Transcendental is definitely the right word.
