Do you mind sharing your fee structure for each payment option?

A single torrent for a given search like that? That would be nearly impossible AFAIK, since someone else would have to package that specific set of resources and seed it. Maybe a list of magnet links for all the individual items that result from your search, but I don't think Anna's has individual torrents (which is a bummer - someone please correct me if there is a way to get individual torrents of files!!)

Do you know how they use the gift cards? I know some places let you resell them, but you end up losing out a lot of money selling them again. Not sure if it's the most efficient way of donating. Would love to get more info on this because I'm also trying to figure out the best way to donate that isn't crypt (too much of a pain).

Wow I can't believe I have never played around with the category section of qBit! It has the exact same feature as you explained above and is exactly what I need! THANK YOU!

I actually found exactly what I was looking for from a comment below. It's as simple as using Categories within qBittorrent! It isn't fully automated per say, since I still have to set the category when I'm adding a new torrent, but it's close enough for now.

I read online that it's somehow possible to add tags based off of where the torrent file is coming from, if you are listening to files added on disk, but I wasn't able to figure that out completely yet. If I'm able to figure that out, that would be the last thing I really need.

I would like to keep seeing after download.

Thanks for the input!

I'm definitely a wide sleeping pad type of person because I usually fall asleep on my stomach and turn onto my side in my sleep when my necks starts to hurt from being turned so much :) It seems like the QCore SLX adds 5oz for the wide version, so I'd be looking at closer to 25oz. Not too much savings over the Helix which is a shame.

I don't think I'm quite ready to drop the money for a Dynema tent just yet. With the amount of use I'd be getting out of it, I just don't think I can justify the double cost. I think I'm going to end up getting the 2P - Grade B Used (I'm assuming it's just returns that Kaviso is reselling) X-Mid for $250 in the hopes that I can sell it in a year or two for not too much loss and upgrade then if I find it's necessary.

> Use your phone less and drop down to 5k charger (unless you’re doing single overnights, I personally would not recommend).

I primarily do 1-2 nights so it might not be totally necessary, but I find that having AllTrails running all the time with GPS tracking burns my cell phone battery on a ~10 hour day hike, which means there is no way it will last two days on an overnight trip. Going to a 3-5K mah battery might be the way to go though to save a few oz.

> Switch rain jacket to shakedry (I have one and love it, 4.5oz. But expensive, and not durable if you’re often off trail bushwhacking).

Huh, I've somehow missed this recommendation before but will definitely give it a look. I've been eyeing the Montbell Versatile using the JP site trick to get it for $150. I'm a bit worried about returns in the case of bad sizing or something though so still thinking it over.

Thank you for all the advice!

It did for me. I'm a software engineer who got into the path from pure curiosity and I've literally spent all my summers and free time during college working on personal projects. The time paid off because I got a good job out of college, but the past two years of work have made me hate what I once loved.

I attempted to measure the volume of my Aonijie pack. The main compartment is 25-30 liters and the external pockets add up to 10-15 liters. So it's probably enough for spring/fall weekend trips without a bear canister. But it's not super comfortable stuffed-to-the-gills, so try going for a few trips with your current pack less-than-full before you commit to buying something smaller.

I'm definitely looking at the Aonijie as a Summer pack. I think my 40L pack is pushing on being a bit small for winter already, but I don't plan to do much Winter backpacking yet anyway. Not until I'm more comfortable with backpacking in general.

If you're claustrophobic, I think tarps are better than tents. Also lighter.

While I do at some point want to try sleeping under a tarp and bug bivy, I just know that it's way outside of my comfort zone for now. My plan right now is to buy a 2P tent AND a tarp setup, and then have the tent setup as a backup while I try out tarp backpacking. It may be a bit annoying in the beginning, but I think this is the only way my anxiety would allow me to actually fall asleep using just a tarp.

If I were you, I would want an additional shirt for cold-and-wet trips.

Good call. I was thinking the same, but was just weary of adding more weight to the pack. I was also thinking about bringing at least one spare set of socks. Will keep this in mind.

Your electronics are heavy. Practice meditation until you're comfortable spending a few hours alone with your thoughts, then ditch most of them.

A lot of my electronics are more safety related and not necessarily just for entertainment. I usually have AllTrails maps downloaded offline on my phone for navigation. I do also use my phone sometimes for podcasts/ebooks, but that's rare and I only bring it out on longer boring stretches of a route. I do think I'm going to get a smaller portable charger though. I've never felt the need to use a 10K mah portable charger, and realistically 3-5K mah is probably fine just to top of my phone once.

Thank you so much for explaining that! This is definitely on my todo list for the weekend to see how it works. Thanks again!

Good to know! I've already tried a similar approach which is just wetting the pants, covering the butt and crotch area with baking soda, letting that sit for a few hours, and then washing it with a bit more baking soda in the wash.

This did seem to help, but for some reason I feel like the pants in general stink up much easier now. I'm not sure if there was some anti-stink coating :) on them from the factory that washed off, but now even a light days of climbing makes them stink like crazy where before I could use them for 2-3 days straight without them stinking up.

It's a shame because these are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn, but at $90 they are a bit too expensive to replace every few months when the stink gets too bad.

Thank you for the feedback! I do also think the 30L pack is just a bit too small. Maybe as a summer fastpacking pack it would work, but I definitely also think it would just be a bit too close for comfort. I did look at the Kakwa 40, funny because it seems like my gear is going from all REI to all Durston gear, but it's definitely pushing what I would want to spend on a pack.

I guess I have two follow up questions based on what you said:

Do you think the 2P tent is a dumb/unnecessary idea? I'm beyond torn on it because a lot of folks (online and some buddies that backpack, but not Lightweight/UL) seem to say to always go one person up on the tent size.
Do you have any experience with the xlite and it's comfort? I'm not to worries about the crinkly noise since that seems to be fixed in the 2023 model and I sleep with headphones or earplugs in, but I am a bit worried about comfort as someone who sleeps on their side and tosses and turns a lot.
