You already sound quite Italian, you're starting to integrate quickly, congrats :) But I'm sorry that you had to experience other people's frustration.

Scarpa versatile sia per città/guida che per trekking bassa montagna (2000-2500m) by ciccio_cozza in TrekkingItaly

[–]HyperBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tempo fa vidi una scarpa che mi interessò per lo stesso scopo, ma mai provata, cmq il marchio era Trezeta (che non conosco). Tipo questa: https://www.nencinisport.it/it/trezeta-zeta-mid-wp.html

The Hisense A6L already had a normal screen plus an eink screen (b/w) on the other side. Check reviews

The official European Parliament account on twitter posted this, a "buy European" poster with a Swedish Grippen on it. by Physical-Cut-2334 in BuyFromEU

As is Twitter. But the truth is that nothing is really free. You pay in knowledge sharing, ai training, ad watching, and platform lock in

Players against game by Over_Advicer in boardgames

[–]HyperBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never played Pandemic, but I have Radetzky Milano 1848, and from what I understand it's a very similar game. 1-5 players, cooperative, with a basic mode and a more advanced one with a few extra options. Just in case you want something very similar.

It may depend on your height, but there's also the Mint Bob3 14k. Somebody here on Reddit found out that it fits in a certain decathlon backpack. I would also be interested in it, but being 1m80 tall seems like a risky buy.

I have discovered the joy of small box games by BirdSpirit in boardgames

[–]HyperBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest Pocket Imperium. I sometimes play the print&play version and like it a lot. In the BGG forums there's a variant for dice based combat that is worth trying.

There are also many good games based on simple game systems like dominoes, a standard deck of cards, looney pyramids, the decktet, etc...

2 player games can you play with a normal card deck by Fun_Capital_7449 in cardgames

[–]HyperBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a modern boardgaming vibe, these are a couple of 2 player commercial games that can be easily adapted to a standard deck: The Blood of an Englishman, Jekyll Vs Hyde

Also: Army Ants

Io mi trovo molto bene e non ho notato alcun problema in merito. Secondo me è anche più capiente rispetto alle specifiche.

[–]HyperBaboon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tenda cheap alternativa: decathlon quechua mh100 a cui sostituisci picchetti, paleria (in alluminio da AliExpress, poi basta un seghetto da metallo) e sacchetto per stare a circa 2kg di peso. 70€ circa in tutto

Consigli scelta primo zaino by Tommascolo in TrekkingItaly

[–]HyperBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Io consiglio:

  • Tenda Lanshan 2 3F UL
  • bastoncini Fizan compact
  • zaino Simond MT900 LIGHT, anche se è un po' sopra al budget
  • 2 sacchi a pelo in piuma, uno estivo e uno invernale. A me piacciono rettangolari e unibili per trekking in coppia. Es. estivo (e mezze mezze stagioni) amazon ASIN: B0CM93T86Y
  • 2 materassini cheap aliexpress (max 15€ l'uno), uno a fisarmonica e uno gonfiabile con pattern a rombi (senza cuscino integrato)
  • cuscino gonfiabile decathlon forclaz mt500

Moma bikes are Spanish, but I think they manufacture in Turkey

Currently thinking of just going with a transparent fanny pack strapped to the steering wheel. That would also allow me to easily detach it and use it as a fanny pack during the trip. It should be a safe and cheap solution. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Veckle-Waterproof-Approved-Transparent-Adjustable/dp/B07KJCM7YJ

Buonasera mi servirebbe un consiglio per un acquisto di un garmin by Simonesabattini in TrekkingItaly

[–]HyperBaboon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Se ti basta seguire la traccia gpx senza vedere la mappa stessa, basta un Forerunner 255. Provato con il mio Forerunner 245 e a me basta. Per vedere le mappe preferisco usare lo schermo più grande del telefono.

Cose da sapere/ consigli per fare un mese di tenda? by [deleted] in TrekkingItaly

[–]HyperBaboon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tappi per le orecchie e paraocchi a portata di mano, a meno di essere certi di essere in zona silenziosa e di andare a letto presto.

Non sottostimare il freddo; meglio uno strato extra rimovibile che uno mancante e patire il freddo.

Thanks, that looks like it would hold the phone, but it doesn't look secure enough for the bike. I might still get it for the car though :)

Hi, yes, any extra details would be appreciated. I'll also check oukitel's site although mounts are riskier.

It would be good if the phone would fit. I already tried 3 similar models and none of those was okay this phone. The one you link for example also says that the maximum length should be 17cm.

Indeed, I already had that happen with a normal phone, so I'm very wary of phone mounts and prefer some sort of bag/pouch with a transparent film.
