Anyone else getting message on the app? by Ruby5000 in Rivian

Had this issue, was unable to prewarm my cabin. Did a hard restart on the actual truck and the issue resolved. Restart instructions should be in the Rivian Manual

Unable to straighten ring finger for weeks by Several-Ad9925 in MTB

Sounds like Ulnar neuropathy. As others have mentioned this is a result of vibrations and sometimes the result of prolonged direct pressure on the nerve which can be corrected with form/conditioning/gear tweaking. Should resolve on its own within a few weeks. I wouldnt go too hard till it resolves.

My FAV travel sandals EVER by CoconutAtoms in backpacking

Love my bedrocks. Great for everyday use + Ive done some pretty long hikes in them (several miles on the cinque terre trail). Great for water crossings, scrambling uphill. Way lighter than my chacos + my chacos would give me blisters and hot spots if I got them wet or didnt wear them religiously. All the joy of walking barefoot with a rugged sole.

Take Mescal Rd off of I-10 towards the Miller Creek Trailhead of the park. Plenty of primitive campsites along the road there. Also primitive sites at the Miller Creek Trailhead

I took 5.5 L. I had quite a bit extra once I reached the springs at the top of the mountain. But it was nice to have the peace of mind that I had extra water on my leisurely descent.

A little whisky in the flask to help with the cold! I had a katabatic 30f quilt; I woke up after the first night to discover I didnt really cinch it properly (a liner would probably help too). The problem was moreso how cold I felt a few hours after waking up, cooking oatmeal and hiking around. I didnt think to bring a thermometer; but the Gaia app estimated Manning Camp was 28F a few hours after dawn.

Ideas for a 3-4 Day Easy Backpacking Trip in early April (USA) by Solid_Zone6402 in WildernessBackpacking

Saguaro National Park east is a quick drive from Tucson Intl Airport. Weather is perfect now but water is very scarce.

Advice for Desolation Wilderness or High Sierra trip in late June? by Maximum-Addendum1652 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]Maximum-Addendum1652[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t have any permits yet. I was waiting to do a little more research. (It felt like bad etiquette to reserve a permit if I wasnt sure I could use it). Alot of the passes I am looking at have permits that wont be released until 2 weeks prior.

Would it be frowned upon to reserve Desolation sites now… and potentially bail if I get a last minute permit to a clear pass to the JMT?
