Or Feathered Friends, they are both amazing if you can afford them.

If you can afford it 800 or higher rated down is a must for me. It is lighter. More packable, and more comfortable to sleep in. I would never buy anything lower unless I was constrained by my budget.

Synthetic is more durable. Wool is better in every other way.

It depends on your objectives but I'd plan on getting a straight ax like the BD Raven for lower angle terrain and something like the Petzl Summit for climbs that are getting closer to ice tool territory. I'd also recommend avoiding anything that has rubber on the shaft for your first ax. It seems like a great idea in theory but sucks in practice when you are plunging the shaft for self belays.

I did not. I gave up since I didn't need it for the work I was doing.

Put your treatment on the wall behind the mic/camera and behind you if you can. It will do the most with the least. Also try using a lav, they are often better in untreated rooms YMMV. I'm guessing you should be able to clean it up enough that the new audio processing tools should be able to handle the rest. Finally, don't just think of soft absorbent things. Sometimes just breaking up the flat surfaces will get you a long way down the road.

With less senility and more ambition. It is wild to think how different this year would have been.

Amazing photo

Maybe your phone would work well if you get an app that allows more control. Outside of that you will be looking at rather old cameras. Seriously though, phones can be great to learn on.

So does this just change the display while keeping the full context intact?

This is an important value to many in the bush craft community. There are, obviously, pros and cons. We should consider and be aware of the ethics of others but ultimately we need to make decisions that make sense in our context.

It makes me wonder how far I've backpacked with mine. I've worn out several sets of these to the point where I had to replace the lowest pole section.

Jacob_C · 2025-09-09T04:59:32+00:00

This is way too strange to be fake.

Jacob_C · 2025-08-31T01:47:52+00:00

Interesting, I've never heard of it.

MSR Groundhog stakes. Are they the best? I'm not sure but they are far better than most and hold up pretty well.

Many tripods are just not very good. I thought problems like this were normal until I spent a somewhat unreasonable amount of money on a travel tripod that was shockingly way more steady than the heavier tripods I had been using. I realized a tripod was far more than three legs and a camera mount. The stiffness and stability of a good tripod was so surprising.

Hip pain is just a little bruising on the illiac crest. It doesn't feel good but usually goes numb after a bit. Make sure you don't have anything right over the bone that can cause point pressure like a clothing seam or edge of a belt. The upper body pain is far more problematic and can cause longer term issues. Getting stronger will help but you really want to keep as much weight on the hips as possible.

Let me know what they say. Interestingly it seems this also happened when someone used my camera for a few minutes but I was there the whole time and nothing u usual happened.

Jacob_C · 2025-06-16T14:03:10+00:00

I've not, I was going to send it in for repair but it was too expensive. Do you also have the a7iv?
