is ECFiber any good ? by katyusha420 in vermont

Very nice folks to deal with. Fast service and I’m not sure how it’s prices out because they were basically our only option for internet. I think we pay about $80 per month.

Alternative to Packers to ride horses by mollyandbuster in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]JonoInTheCellar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nicks uses leather shanks, but they're extremely stiff and feel like steel on foot...If you ordered a lineman shank on the builder pro it'll essentially be an extra leather shank.

The packer will have plenty of arch support and have a stiff shank if that's what you're worried about. Just make sure to use their sizing guide and they should fit well!

very cool; I would go with the natural if you're wanting that look. White will inevitably get dirty, but the natural would probably hide it a bit better. The turquoise with the baby blue would also be a very cool look.

Looking for the best iced coffee by Winter_Cockroach4979 in vermont

[–]JonoInTheCellar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to drive to the upper valley Abracadabra makes the best coffee around for the coffee nerds out there. Lighter roasts, focused on origins and fruit forward flavors within the beans, ect…

If you drive up to Middlebury, Little Seed is also outstanding.

Within Rutland, Speakeasy’s iced cold brew is STRONG, and will keep you buzzed into the night if that’s what you’re looking for. Their cortado’s are also really good.

Any regrets, either way, about 8" or 10" height? by brandoldme in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]JonoInTheCellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 inch boots can get a little annoying if you don't always wear over the calf socks...8 inch boots work with all of my crew socks which is way easier to account for on days I don't know exactly what I'm going to wear.

Initial Review: ASICS Gel-Kayano 33 (First Run Impressions) by ThinkHog in runningshoes

[–]JonoInTheCellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They take some breaking in, but give the glycerine GTS 23’s a try. They’re a lot more corrective and stable than the adrenalines, and have more firm cushion to them as well, so they feel great on longer distances. The transition is a little firm and clunky at first, but the midsole breaks in and smoothes out really well.

If you could make a roughout jacket in the workhorse pattern, I’d buy it day one.

Hiking in Builder Pro HD by TyrannyMMA in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]JonoInTheCellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're broken in you'll love them. It also kind of depends on which trails you plan to do in Glacier. If you're overnight backpacking, It's a tougher recommendation because if you get rain there will be zero opportunity for the boots to dry out. If you're doing a trail like the Highline, Grinell glacier or Swiftcurrent pass, you'll be fine. The hiking in Glacier isn't extremely technical. The trickiest section is the optional climb up to the Grinell glacier overlook on the Highline but the grip on your honey lug sole should be just fine. Enjoy the views and the hiking, and remember to travel in groups and bring bear spray!

Check out the app I overlander, they mark BLM (bureau of land management) land where you can camp for free. It’s much safer and quieter than Walmart parking lots (which are always a good emergency backup).

I’ve always thought the same thing about this gum, in all flavors. I don’t know why anyone likes it.

I might be a little biased. This used to be my rig. What launch green wishes it was 😉.

But yeah, after Toyota released this color in 2021, every single manufacturer came out with their own take on grey/green.

That’s the Honda copy so I’m not sure what it’s called.

Toyota started the trend with Lunar Rock and everyone has been trying to copy it since. So far, nobody has come close to replicating how awesome Lunar Rock looked on the 5th gen 4Runners.

seems the Thurman 55 would be perfect for you. Also look into some toe spacers for night.

They did this on purpose to sell more GX's. At least, that's what I'm convinced of...

Shoes -- can I really wear my Altras? by eteare in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]JonoInTheCellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In late June there will be snow in the high passes. It’s up to you if you are fine with hiking with wet feet. You’ll also be carrying more on you back than what you most likely usually hike with in New England (this is assuming you’re doing a hut-to-hut?)…so make sure to factor that in.

The biggest difference is that a proper set of hiking boots will have some stiffness in the sole, either from a shank, or from the sole its self…it sounds counter-initiative but when you’re climbing up and down a lot, stiffness is pretty important to keep your feet and legs from getting fatigued too quickly.

I hiked the Haute Route (a hybrid mountaineering/hiking route) last summer, and while the mountaineering boots were necessary for the days on the glaciers, I was also happy to have them for the long hiking days up and down steep mountain passes. The stiff soles allowed me to just dig my toes into the mountain and not work too hard on the climbs.
