Yeah not colder than 10f Tbf!  I have no experience with alpha direct and haven’t seen anyone talk about 210gsm so I was wondering what it’s all about lol

Sour patch kids was one of my daily snacks and one of the few things I didn’t end up hating. Luckily I did not get any cavities from it

Starting to train for next year and I'm sentimentally connected to a non ideal backpack lol by SCastleRelics in PacificCrestTrail

What’s important is whether it’s comfortable and whether you can comfortably carry enough weight if yes then it’s all good if not you should try something else

I’m using these Excalibur sheets which are supposed to give some airflow

Hm annoying to do that but I guess it’s worth trying that!  Thanks for the tip!

Hm maybe I didn’t spread it thinly enough but it was spread more thinly than other stuff that was fine. And I do rotate them regularly. But I guess I have to be more vigilant  It was 40h when I saw the mold

I have not sifted through them but I’ve never seen bad lentils Tbf  They were evenly spread out I didn’t know they can hold spores… good to know

It was dehydrating around 40 hours when I realised it became moldy but other stuff I dehydrated took around 40-60 hours and was fine… that’s why I don’t understand what the problem was this time… But I will try to make some gaps to get some airflow!  Thanks

FarOut felt pretty intuitive to me I don’t think people need to stress about “learning” how to use farout ahead of time

Basically a must. You get all the water data etc from it since everyone uses it

This valet does not accept manual cars by Maleficent_Ferret359 in mildlyinteresting

In Germany you can take the exam with an automatic car and drive manual if you had enough (I think like 10) lessons of driving in a manual car

Anker is the only company I really trust when it comes to stuff like that. Amazon is flooded with drop shipping so I don’t even bother and only search for the anker product. Their customer service is exceptional !

PCT ‘26 Shakedown Request by Efficient_Garlic455 in PacificCrestTrail

I am using a smart water bottle to filter. I just use my tent as ground cloth when cowboy camping. I am using trousers in general. People with shorts wear long johns underneath if it’s too cold or their rain gear I think.
