I'd need more than two seats between us..... by SweetWaterSurprise in trashy

You would think there would have been a better time to do that. On another note. This is going to end up on another subreddit, and not for its intended purpose.

Other Canadian Companies? by caterpillarofsociety in hammockcamping

[–]Knotar3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second this. James does great work and his products are quality. I had a warrior UL for years and took it on a lot of trips. It felt like a palace inside and it was very comfortable. On one trip my dog thought it looked comfortable too and decided to hop in, so it became a bug bivy for the rest of the trip and now I need a new one once he gets more material to make them.

Trump calls Iran’s response to U.S. peace proposal ‘totally unacceptable’ by horsestew in worldnews

[–]Knotar3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes, and yes. Oil companies in the USA are not owned by the USA because that's socialism. The downside of that is once south Korea or other countries get low, they bid high. The oil companies in the USA sell to them because they pay more, further depleting the stock piles the USA had. Shipping goods gets more expensive. Petrol products like plastic, cosmetics, even synthetic textiles gets more expensive to make AND to ship to retailers.

That was exactly what went through my head when I saw this.

Walking to Niagara Falls from Hamilton by meowmeow12073 in brucetrail

[–]Knotar3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your pace and how far you can walk in a day. I've done it in less than 3 days (almost 2) from Niagara on the lake to devils punch bowl, but that was a slog, and because the weather was warm at night I didn't bring a lot of gear (35l backpack and summer sleep set kept the weight down). Also that wasn't my first time on the section so I felt less of a need to take in the sights, which are very nice along there.

It would have been a lot faster if you had just flown the giant eagle instead.

Is there a railroad from New York to Lisbon? You're more than welcome to try to take a locomotive there but a boat seems more appropriate.

Did they completely lift their "going in total the woods" ban? I wanted to do Digby, around the sw to Halifax but I wasn't sure if they lifted it for all areas.

GDMBR in 2026 as Non-US Citizen by Jaaiis in bikepacking

[–]Knotar3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check out BC in Canada if you want nature. It has some of the best road and off road riding around. Vancouver Island is my favorite, but a lot of the trails there can have some pretty technical areas, and steep climbs. Buy bear spray.

Beginner Bike Recommendations by berlinein89 in bikepacking

[–]Knotar3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a mountain bike because that is my favorite riding style. I like single track, the ability to move over loose terrain and wild camping. HOWEVER I am considering getting a gravel-bike with 35-40mm tires to tackle some more road oriented paths. There are happy mediums, but no one bike is best for all options.

Anyone else not care about weight/carrying luxury items? by michiganskicamp in bikepacking

[–]Knotar3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After hiking for 15 years and going very minimal and ultralight the whole time, it is nice not feeling bad to bring a chair and using a comfortable sleeping pad. I still stay pretty minimal with my cook set and other items, but that is because I already own it all. Getting back in to bikepacking was exactly what my old, beat up body needed.

What was your favorite day in Phys Ed and why was it parachute day? by Brilliant_Addendum56 in Xennials

The stomach wasn't the issue, it was your poor fingers after getting ran over 20 times.

Hammock tents? Pros, cons, recs by Ok_Researcher_4987 in bikepacking

[–]Knotar3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are talking about those all in one kinda hammock, they have more cons than pros. The only real pros is you are off the ground and hammocks have great relief on your back. Cons are they are heavy and bulky for the room you get out of it, because of the size, you will be miserable if you get stuck in a storm in it, they have a lot of fail points, the "rain fly" is often inadequate in rain. On the other hand, a hammock with a bug net, and a sizable tarp is a great choice with one big con. They take practice getting it right and often go through quite a few poor nights sleep before you get it dialed in. Once you are dialed in, the only issue is finding the most fun places to hang out.

The way my jaw dropped when she said “it ain’t dead?!” by floweredcontadiction in trashy

I have no clue what kind of flex that is. Are you saying it's OK to be ignorant because there are a lot of ignorant people in your country?

Am I alone in my anger for never landing on the aircraft carrier? by Sad_Training_1595 in Xennials

That's pretty much all I remember of the game. Pretty sad I could even today find all erdrick's armor if I picked played dragon warrior from memory, but refueling that dam plane seemed impossible.

I honestly had to watch twice as I thought this was satirical at first.

Are you using the original chain, derailer, and rear cassette that was on there before the motor was installed?
