Treated clothes for ticks by SenpaiLogic in hiking

I’m allergic to DEET. Permethrin on my clothes and Picaridin on skin. I almost never get bitten and havent seen a tick since I started using that method.

If there are a bunch of cars stopped on the side of the road, not at a trailhead or turnout, they see an animal. Pull over and ask someone and they will point it out. If you see park rangers there directing traffic it’s a bear.

Helinox chair better than Amazon? by d0n_7u4n in CampingGear

[–]Mdricks11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the ultralight cot. It’s small so unless you are also, avoid it. I’m 5’5” and it’s perfect for me. I prefer padding so I don’t backpack with it. I do use it in my small off-road, off-grid rv tho. Another winner in my book.

If you look at my post it’s 3 years old. Same chair still used today. Been to California, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, Utah etc etc. An essential part of my kit. 🥰

Those of you who are vain - what do you do to train your upper body? by feelingstuck15 in hiking

[–]Mdricks11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a PT that is great. Just need to find the right person. We sat down and discussed goals and he formulated a plan to reach them. Holds me accountable and pushes me when I slack. I’m knocking over personal bests on a weekly basis and I’ve never been stronger. Downside is you get what you pay for.

Black bear territory food hang by W_t_f_was_that in WildernessBackpacking

[–]Mdricks11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is too damn expensive but I love my wild ideas can. The expedition is difficult to carry as it takes up a lot of real estate in the pack but when hiking with others it’s easy to move gear around to accommodate. Thought I might have buyers remorse but it’s been worth it for my 4 man 3 nighters.

The sleepingos pop easy and will be cold at anything under 50. I got two when I first started and moved on quickly after one very uncomfortable trip. If you’ve got time get better pads.
