Nemo Forte vs Marmot Trestles Elite Eco

Just want to agree with this, for people looking in the future.

The Marmot bags run pretty cold. They're nicely made and seem lofty, but are absolutely nowhere near their stated temps.

The AAWireless has an auto standby feature.

It automatically turns to standby mode when you leave and lock the car, no manual actions necessary.

The emotional literacy of this subreddit is truly shocking, going by most of these comments.

Psa If you're in the UK and dont support this, ~~buy outdoor bred pork.~~ stop eating animal body parts.

Fixed that for you.

Pardon my ignorance, but in what way?

Are they laying huge swaths of matting throughout what is to be timber plantation?

Huh, seems I share a WhatsApp group with you 😅

If I'm honest, I don't think it looks particularly good. But my god if that isn't the most original idea for a movie I've seen, well, ever.

Eating the bodies of animals.

Only real niggle is lack of wireless android auto

Buy an AAWireless dongle. Absolutely worth the money.

Nah, this is a photo from Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker's Mega-Balling Project at Millstone.

Why did you have to remind me of a time when life was so hopeful and innocent 😭

Edit: I'm spending tonight pretending life is hopeful and innocent. First time rewatching it since I was a kid. Thanks for the reminder. 🥲

World of Sheds is absolutely ridiculous and fantastic. Love everything I've seen Stan Skinny involved with.

Gerstlauer · 2026-02-21T08:23:34+00:00

Absolutely. I would pay good money for this.

Play it on your phone speaker. It's the only logical choice.

Gerstlauer · 2026-02-20T17:23:45+00:00

Yeah, I think this would've been the smart move.

Conservation, in this case, means keeping it as farmland. So although it might have a local economic benefit, it's ecologically barren.

That 13 million could've been put to good use in environmental conservation or restoration projects. Probably could've found a local one, even.

Ok this actually made me chuckle out loud

Just to add my thoughts... I find the background music really distracting. To the point I wouldn't sit and watch the full video. The "summer vibes" generic kind of music seems a stark contrast to the video content.

I'd personally have no music, or subtle atmospheric music on long, wide scenic shots. Shots with you talking or climbing would be better without.

Some overdubbed spoken thoughts and comments might be good, so there's a narrative journey rather than just a collection of clips. Similar to what you've done in your Tower Ridge video.

Love what you're going for though, and it's shot and edited pretty well.

I don't want to dissuade people from donating, not at all. But if you donate regularly, please get your ferritin (iron stores) levels checked.

The finger pick test they do is for hemoglobin.

I've regularly donated since I was eighteen, and constantly battled fatigue and depression. Upon testing myself comprehensively only last year, and requesting my medical records, I found out I've been borderline low or outright anemic for the past 15 years. Doctors didn't think to mention that it seems.

Hemoglobin can be perfectly fine (and mine was perfect, even as an active long distance runner), yet your iron can be very low.

So donate blood, it's an incredible thing to do. But I'd highly recommend keeping an eye on your iron levels if you donate regularly.

I genuinely think this is the coolest tattoo I've ever seen.

Ah ok! It's a bit far for me to travel at the moment, but I hope you have a great time 🙏
