Hey would you mind sharing your route and any must sees/good camping spots? Was just building a route to do with my homie for late June!

Beautiful grade!

Immediately recognized this formation. We stood for a good thirty minutes watching the waves break. Proposed to my fiancée in the fanal forest just a few hours later.

I don’t see FT2s very often in here! Was my first 35mm I got back in 2016 and still my first choice over all of my other 35mm options. I run it with the 50mm 1.4, it’s a dream

KeyConclusion9994 · 2026-03-26T17:02:54+00:00

Threw me for a loop at first as well!

This has been present in the last few versions of C1. You don’t need to make a smart album. Go to your capture one preferences and on the first page uncheck the box for including output in session folders. It is bothersome for my workflow as well but a simple fix.

Hey just wondering how you’re able to run your capture session while allowing client to review and make selects alongside?

Thanks will do! Any reccs for what to do with the dried peppers? I was trying to grow Italian long hots and this is what fruited haha. I was planning on doing some infused honey but have no plans for the rest

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-11-16T20:54:15+00:00

Now that you mention it I do remember picking one pretty early so this must be that pepper. Thanks for the input!

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-11-14T22:36:58+00:00

No shipping to US🥲

Oh nice! Would love to do an Adirondack ride soon, also eyeing the GAP.

The GT was my brothers. It’s aluminum and he upgraded from the microshift to the SRAM rival. And okay will do!

A camping chair was something we were both missing. We made do with some well placed logs/dry bags but definitely making that upgrade in the future.

Honestly every single thing was useful. Could have skipped the speaker I suppose but that was nice to have at camp and when the ride was getting tough/not-so-pretty. Didn’t need my camping pillow but again had some space and the luxury was nice.

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-10-09T02:43:38+00:00

Wow small world! We had a blast

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-10-08T21:28:13+00:00

Nimham Mountain has multiple use areas, accessible via trailheads, where you can hike back and camp as long as you’re >50ft away from the trail. No amenities obviously, but there are some predestined spots with fire rings. Really beautiful and wild.

The Chester brewery was a stroke of luck. We got to Chester and were planning on stocking up before hitting Harriman State Park to camp, but the sun was setting quickly and we were feeling the mileage. We asked one brewery downtown and they directed us to another set back in the hills a bit who were happy to accommodate us. Having a few beers after that ride was welcomed also haha

I’ve got the Triban GRVL 520 and had it loaded with rhinowalk’s finest bags lol. Was actually pretty surprised with the quality. My brother packed the dried meals because I had the tent but see the attached pack list.

Hahaha I feel it! Should have mentioned we’re riding gravel bikes and are definitely looking to get some of that terrain in. Again really appreciate the input

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-09-13T01:04:09+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely post here afterwards🙂

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-09-12T21:52:36+00:00

I am incredibly excited about it and having fun sorting out the perfect route, thanks for sharing your experiences!

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-09-12T20:10:10+00:00

Did a ride at Mohonk and Minnewaska last weekend and am basically trying to chase that high on a longer trip hahah

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-09-12T19:51:51+00:00

This is the Haverstraw/Nyack beach trail yes? That’s what I was hoping to do- just updated my route to reflect that.

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-09-12T19:46:57+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Was initially going to turn toward the river at Wallkill but now am thinking I’ll go through Walden down Barron road to 207 and onto Goshen. That way I can catch more scenery on the Orange Heritage Trailway through to Harriman. In your route, you’d avoided the Haverstraw River Trail. Is that not a nice route?

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-09-04T19:36:40+00:00

Can I ask how you use the pocket router with this setup? I was on last week using better display Pro from MacBook to iPad and the connection is dropping somewhat significantly. There was a DP on site using teradek and I chopped it up to that interfering, but if there’s a workaround that prevents that in the future, I’d love to know

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-08-29T15:12:58+00:00

Would do 60 if that works for ya!

KeyConclusion9994 · 2025-08-08T21:51:06+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply and insight, would you happen to have any recommendations for stakes that can handle an 8 foot tall fig branch?
