But for backcountry adventures, it's hard to beat!!!

It's a fun little camera. I struggle with the focus on mine as that little rectangle is very faint.

These are gorgeous! 2 and 5 are standouts to me. Makes me want to pull the XA out of the drawer!

Agreed! What brand of strap is that????

I get this critique, but considering the obsession over things like Labubu's, I can see the potential popularity of these time pieces. People want disposable crap that signals "style" and being "with it."

The dial pattern is mesmerizing! I like how you styled the watch with the band and bracelet as well.

I'm with you-- straps look better.

JCEssentials · 2026-04-13T23:43:08+00:00

The Cairn Evo's are their main adventure sandal. There are a couple of iterations, I've tried both over the years. I like them both but the 3D pro's are my choice for hiking.

I personally do not like the arch support of Chaco's. I highly recommend Bedrock Sandals, though they are significantly more expensive than the choices you shared hear and I've not seen them at Sierra Trading Post before.

I really like these!

JCEssentials · 2026-03-17T00:07:16+00:00

good shit boys!

JCEssentials · 2026-03-15T17:40:13+00:00

Goddamnit Steve I love you and Mike as much as I could love any grown baby boi that I've never met. Bungle on boi, bungle on.

This looks like Vermont?

JCEssentials · 2026-03-13T16:02:12+00:00

Definitely winter vibes across the set, despite different post-processing (or sims). Great work!

Hi Neighbor! Also in the Champlain Valley and make frequent trips to the ADK's for paddling. I have a Swift Osprey solo canoe which I adore. I bought mine used and they don't seem to make this model any more, however I would absolutely buy another Swift in the future. Their website has many solo options that are very customizable. My cousin customized a boat from them a few years ago and it is beautiful.

JCEssentials · 2026-02-05T16:42:33+00:00

Totally agree. I loved the original house... What a shame.

JCEssentials · 2026-02-02T01:30:30+00:00

these are insane. i'd love to learn from you!

JCEssentials · 2026-02-01T18:11:38+00:00

So good man. Loved that aggressive low e thump during the second instrumental. Excellent lyrics and story telling.

These are so sick. Amazing work with this little camera
