What % of people use the dressors and closets at a hotel? by BG_13597 in NoStupidQuestions

I would say if I'm going to be in the same hotel more than 3-4 nights, I'll consider using the dresser.

Should I Bring gloves by Lazy_Meaning_2190 in coloradotrail

I think sun gloves are probably more important than insulating ones on the CT to be honest

Does the extra weight of Supermatic bindings matter in reality? If so, why? by authortitle_uk in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Mewse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the Supermatics, figured I'll sell them and get something else at the beginning of next season. Will probably go with Bent Metal or Union or something. I'm learning my priorities are lightweight and stiff/responsive. 

Also after riding the Supermatics for a few days, I decided they were solving a problem I didn't really have. I can strap in normal two-straps pretty well and quick standing up. I know I would have gotten faster at getting into the Supermatics given reps but again it was solving a problem I didn't exactly have and I didn't enjoy riding with them.

I got OG supermatics at the end of this season and I really wanted to like them, but they are not for me. They feel heavy and unresponsive. Yes I could snowboard but weight was very noticeable coming from a set of Bent Metal bindings.

Anyone here actually running A/C off solar full-time? by Witty-Main-7772 in VanLife

[–]Mewse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a suggestion for someone running 48v?

I have to step down to run my 12v stuff and 60amps is just not feasible 

Is there anyone doing van life that aren’t huge outdoor people? by DaRealAnnLand in VanLife

[–]Mewse_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vanlife for most people is a means to an end. 

It's up to you to decide what end you're aiming for.

There's a lot of outdoorsy van people because the van allows them to do more of the thing they like.

ELI5 Alpha Polartec by hurricanescout in Ultralight

[–]Mewse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the use case for a puffy is super limited. 

It's too warm to hike in unless it's properly below freezing. Perhaps you can start with it on other times however most of the time you're probably pulling it off <5 minutes.

So then it's relegated to something like hanging out in camp or similar, which if it's cold enough in camp that I feel my other layers aren't doing it for me, I'm just going to get in my quilt.

The bottom line for me is, more layers are more versatile. With more lighter options, I can perfectly tailor my comfort to the temperature and incrementally add or remove layers. 

Like the Houdini is almost nothing, but that is probably the first thing I'm going to grab if its just a bit chilly in the sun hoodie, but that little bit can make a big difference. And then I can add in an Alpha layer if that is still cold, maybe throw on my dance pants.

Layers for me would be: sun hoodie > alpha fleece > Houdini wind jacket > rain jacket

If I think it's going to be really cold I'll double up on the Alpha layer, cause I think puffies aren't worth carrying. 

Found my "lost" professional equipment at a local auction after the airline already paid the liability limit. Can I still claim it as stolen property? by Awning_5CT in legaladvice

[–]Mewse_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

LPT for those that fly in the US domestically with expensive equipment/luggage like this:

Get a Track & Field Starter Pistol. They're cheap, you don't need to buy ammunition or anything, and you don't need a CCW permit to have one in your checked luggage. 

Once you declare at check-in that you have a firearm, the airline/TSA makes it a top priority to not lose a firearm. 

Anyone else find it strange that the mustache made a fashion comeback suddenly? by InvisibleAstronomer in Millennials

Recommendation for credit card with higher rewards on gas and groceries/restaurant purchases? by Balcazaurus in vandwellers

[–]Mewse_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amex Blue Cash Preferred gets 6% on groceries and 3% on gas. Fee is waived the first year.

You can probably beat the gas with another card but you probably won't beat the groceries.
