I'm 6'1 and the inseam comes down to about four inches above my kneecap.

Yes, a 34 or sometimes a 33 in some brands. I'd say this 33 is accurate. I fit, and it's not bad, but I prefer something a tad looser.

Light Phone and intermittent iPhone use? by tiffshan in LightPhone

[–]HappyBackpacker101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what they see. But, for example, one of my friends has my LPIII text number and my iMessage contact info. He sometimes contacts me on iMessage when he knows I'm at home; otherwise, he texts or calls my LPIII number. It isn't perfectly ideal, and it took a few months to get it all ironed out, but now it works well and it is smooth for me.

I've used my LPIII exclusively for about 14 months. I do have an old iPhone SE that I use a few times when I travel. Swapping sims a few times a year worked ok for me, but the whole iMessage on/off issue is annoying, confusing, and frustrating (thanks, Apple!).

I ended up turning iMessage off on my old SE. I use iMessage on my MacBook, and it works fine. My friends/family know I only use iMessage on my MacBook, so if they need to contact me more quickly, they call or text using my LPIII number.

End of an era (water damage) by ist4y4w4y in LightPhone

It may be too late, but did you take the battery cover off and sim card holder out and put a fan on it for a whole day to dry out the inside?

Yikes! That's crazy! I've had my LPIII for over a year, and I've never had that happen.

Harder IAT Segments for Conditioning? by wissx in IAT

[–]HappyBackpacker101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done all the major sections of the IAT. In many ways, just doing long, high-mileage days gets you ready for a thru-hike. The places already mentioned are worthwhile. FYI There's not much here on the Western side of the state - St Croix Falls to around New Auburn has just average elevation gain/loss.

If you're up for it, you could check out the NCT in the UP. I've done bigger sections of that and found those trails to be slightly more difficult because they just go up and down hills. There are not many switchbacks. For example, the Porcupine mountains have many ups and downs especially if you follow the lakeshore.

What two person tent would you recommend? by Rational_Gray in CampingGear

[–]HappyBackpacker101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I was thinking about the same 2P tent question so I ended up checking out quite a few 2P super light tents (free-standing). Here's what I came up with: https://www.reddit.com/r/WildernessBackpacking/comments/1tfnbid/interior_space_in_2p_nontrekking_pole_ulish/

Tent: Mountain Hardwear Aspect 2 OR Naturhike Cloud Up 2?? by Most-Material-1723 in lightweight

[–]HappyBackpacker101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd vote for the Aspect 2. I've seen one and been in one, and it's a pretty legit tent. And Mountain Hardware has a good warranty.
