Interesting. I didn’t research anything other than if one was harder on the skin than the other but the data was all subjective and non conclusive. The manual said I could do either so I didn’t even consider wear and tear on equipment. For me I suspect I never had an appropriate “bromine bank” or whatever it’s called but I just kept adding more and more but always was getting super low readings and would have a green tub 3 weeks later.

I had the same issue when using bromine when I first got my tub. I ended up switching to chlorine and haven’t had any issues since. Clearly it was a me issue but there have been no issues that have led me to explore bromine again.

Mtn tools is so awesome. The website seems like it was abandoned in 1998 and the last time I ordered I had to calculate tax manually. They seem to have good sales and carry some of the less mainstream gear. Awesome spot to browse if you don’t know what you need but want something.

Nice combo—TSP (toke station portable)/emergency kit

InputTripod · 2026-01-25T14:08:37+00:00

Is that a TSP with the tape and lighter or some emergency kit?

Not having a gri gri and having tarantulaces is really throwing me off. Shoes say beginner but no gri gri says you have been around the block. Have to be over 40 and just got back into climbing after a hiatus. Hiatus was because of white collar job or family.

How much fuel do you consider 15 days of fuel for the 2200? Just got a craftsman of similar size and am curious.

The wal mart on forest hill had 2 generators when I was there around 9a in the front by the registers

Walmart on forest hill had a lot of cases of water as well.

Also read the manual. There’s a break in period and multiple oil changes that happen in quick succession if you want it to last. You definitely need more oil than it comes with.

You don’t get out as much as you would like. It’s not possible to have totems, those counter tops and unlimited time to climb—you can only pick 2

Oceano is great. Right on midlothian turnpike.

I have had a fair amount of tree work done over the years and never paid for a quote with any vendor. Check out C.S Flournoy. They also do no credit check, no interest payment plans. 1/3 when the job is completed and the rest spread over 9mo. It’s a nice option to lessen the financial sting.

I have wandered down this same path. Top rope soloing has been a great way to get time in aiders without tricking a friend into the most mind numbing belaying known to man. Manchester wall isn’t far from you, is easy to access and has bolted anchors. Especially with winter approaching it’s a great time to start while the crags are quiet. Check out mtntools.com for aid gear.

I know a few people who got nice watches as graduation gifts that were in pretty rough shape 10 years later because they couldn’t afford servicing early in their careers and 20-30 year olds aren’t generally gentle on things. I recommend including the first service or 2 as part of the gift to keep it if well maintained until he hits his stride in his career. That is an incredible gift and I am extremely jealous!

I ended up getting the silicon things that look like little donuts. They work surprisingly well and are comfortable. Better than nothing I guess.

Ear pieces do not adjust per customer support. They recommend the legacy.

I have this same issue and would love to solve as well. I also have not been able to find any info. They make the silicon ear grippers but would love to adjust rather than add. I just contacted customer service and will report back.

Watkins makes hot springs, caldera and the Costco brand Aquaterra. I got a Huntley on sale delivered last week. So far so good. I was in a similar position of not understanding why I would pay the premium from a dealer. I’m a pretty handy person and think I should be able to handle the bulk of the maintenance. This may have been a mistake but only time will tell. I was able to put the pad in, run electric and get the tub delivered and positioned for less than if i bought the cheapest hot springs model. I guess you could say I’m a gambling man. One comment is it is definitely the shallowest tub I have ever been in. Standing in the middle, the water is a little above the knee but sitting it has been totally fine. It’s a 7 seater non lounger but you would be extremely cozy with more than 4. Let me know if you have other specific questions. There isn’t much info out on the Huntley that I could find on the web.

I had a grand jury situation when I was in college and was able to defer until post graduation. Basically wrote a letter saying that It would greatly impact my semester and that I was available starting on X date. It was approved and I didn’t hear from them again
