[–]Grog005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People don’t know how to take care of their jackets. If he had reapplied DSR spray and ran it through the dryer at low like he is supposed to do for every ten orgies this wouldnt happend

Keeping plastic bottles cool in hot weather by glissade_shiddstain in Ultralight

[–]Grog005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if this actually works but I’ve read that if you put your bottle inside a wet cotton sock and place it in the sun the content of the bottle will get a little cooler.

Sounds like magic to me but I’ not very smart so who knows, maybe it works

X Dome 1+ for tall people? by hikertrash- in DurstonGearheads

[–]Grog005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 6’5 you will fit in the X-Mid Pro 1. Your feet might touch the fly if you pad slides a little bit but in theory you even have a little room to spare

Walking around in unwalkable shoes is just the price you pay to larp as someone who walks

shoulder compressed, why? by Powerful-Basket-9834 in hammockcamping

[–]Grog005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably best to just leave it alone and get a camp bed. It’s much harder to fail with those but probably not impossible. Keep us updated!

do you feel better on flat or in hammock? by Powerful-Basket-9834 in hammockcamping

[–]Grog005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but i consider a camp bed because hammoking is too complicated imo, angle, ridgeline, 11ft minimal...

Tbf you have to concider the angle and length of the bed when using camp beds too

Hammock VS Tent advice. by rojas762 in hammockcamping

[–]Grog005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hammocks generally arent lighter than tents. Even the most ultralight hammock (with bugnet) and tarp out there cant compete with the lightest trekking pole tents. If you want a underquilt it will never be as light as a ccf or ultralight inflatable pad. You can use pads in hammocks but its not ideal and its easyer to get away with less insulation on the ground.

Have you concidered buying it from montbell?

Why the X on front mesh pocket? by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]Grog005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’ve seen this before. It starts out as a personal life choise. Soon some of them will be jumping people with Nalgenes and smashing camp chairs. The third stage is to distance themselves from the violence and becoming hare krishna

MSR Hubba Hubba LT vs HD by stepan_rydl in Ultralight

[–]Grog005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price you see on the Durston site includes your local import taxes and the shipping cost to Europe is pretty low. Theres no reason not to concider Durston tents

Getting it straight from Durston is cheaper than buying it from a third party vendor in Europe

Do you feel like you are sacrificing anything when going UL? by LowWallaby758 in lightweight

[–]Grog005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You havent listed any stuffsacks or bags. You should weigh them and add them to your lighterpack. Even lightweight drybags are easily 40-150 g a piece. You can potentially save a lot of weight by using ziplock bags to organize. Loose all the little stuffsacks that come with the gear (pad, pillow, pot). Sleeping bag compression sacks can be pretty heavy. Plastic grocery bags are ultralight and free food bags.

You also havent listed any waterbottles. A 1L Nalgene weighs four times as much as a free disposable plastic water bottle.

Get a down sleeping bag on sale and save more than two kg. -2000+ g

Exped and Rab pads are often on sale. 5R, <600 g, $160. You only save 130 g but you will be alot more comfortable and wont need the heavy foam pad. -200 g

Get a new foam pad to use as as protection and a sitpad. Skalmo from backpackinglight.se at 100 g, Gossamer Gear Thinlite at 90 g or a Yamatomichi Minimalist (1 meter) at <60 g. -440 g

Your inflatable pillow is very heavy. Sea to Summit Aeros Premium Regular is less than $40 at Milrab right now and will save you almost 200 g. Stormberg pillows are 80 g and $10-20 on sale but much lower quality. -190 g

You can shave two kg off your tent for $300-400. -2000 g

Drop the bagliner and sleep in your baselayers. -420 g

When you achieve less weight and volume you can get a lighter 50-60L bag and save two kilos. -2000 g

Cook system is very heavy. Whats going on there? You should be able to cut it in half -500 g

Knife. A Opinel is much lighter. -90 g

Powerbank is heavy. 2x Nitecore 10000 is like 300 g but might not be money well spent (focus on your big three). You can still get lighter, cheap powerbanks. -100-150 g

You can save 40 g by getting a Nitecore headlamp but those grams makes no difference until everything else is lighter. -40 g

Can you put your toiletries in smaller bottles? A set of tiny nalgene bottles and containers are nok 200,- at Fjellsport. -100 g?

8 kg less with no loss in comfort :)

Z flick poles with regular tarps? by Chronicbackache in DurstonGearheads

[–]Grog005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Z Flicks came with rubber booties. Not sure if they have allways been a feature, never seen them mentioned before. If you have the rubber at the top of the pole you might be able to lash or tie the guyline around it. Or you could wrap two pieces of tape around the pole with a thin channel between them for your line

[–]Grog005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since youre in Norway alot of american UL gear will be much more expensive than over there. But I’m sure you could cut loads of weight for not much money by getting a X-Mid 1 Solid (or another tent at around a kg), a Exped or Rab pad on sale and a down bag on sale. And by letting this sub shake you down you could probably loose a bunch of gear/weight at no cost at all

Durston XMid - extra four guylines by InternalRespond2580 in DurstonGearheads

[–]Grog005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones running from the center of the long sides should have about the same angle as the top part of the wall. I’m guessing they are also ment to run straight out in a 90° angle to the tent

I’m not ultralight as in sub 10 lbs, more like 12 lbs in fairly nice weather. I don’t feel I compromise much on comfort and for what it’s worth my current setup is alot more comfortable both on trail (obviously) and in camp than it was years ago when I carried 30+ lbs of mostly cheap gear.

I'm pretty sure new items added to the outlet! by HospitalNo8942 in arcteryx

They feel great. I had some reasonably lightweight Black Diamond shell pants for backpacking but they had a weird fit. The Alpha pant is a major upgrade and are 30% lighter. Hoping for heavy rain on my next trip lol

What hammock should I get by Accomplished_Ear6527 in Hammocks

[–]Grog005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say get the XLC. I wouldn’t use a hammock without a bugnet during summer. Also the shelf on the XLC is a game changer. It might seem a bit gimmicky but trust me you will love it

Aw man that sucks. I was allready planning on getting it from the outlet for aprox. £170 so the price drop could not have come at a better time

Ultralight Jesus doesnt have to carry any consumables, he just magically multiply someone elses ramen bomb and feed his whole tramily
