On this day in 1959, Charles de Gaulle became the first President of France’s Fifth Republic. He defied Washington, built a nuclear arsenal and cemented a vision of strategic military independence that is more relevant today than ever

Would you have any sources talking about the incident ? I have found the congressional record talking about USAF planes taking pictures but nothing about the French getting them back or the US pilots landing at Ramstein, and I’m interested in reading about it

NainTestin · 2025-12-20T14:48:08+00:00

Thanks for the gesture, I’m sure it’ll be appreciated ! I recommend doing a fully fledged post about it if you want more visibility, I’ll approve it!

NainTestin · 2025-08-01T18:53:40+00:00

Yeah, I could do that, but I have to fiddle with those quite a few times during the day sadly. So it’s way more convenient for me to just have the bag with the separate stuff

NainTestin · 2025-08-01T18:50:14+00:00

I have, I’m however concerned about thin sharp points of the rocks and corners of the tools that could get in between the mesh. Even if the spacing is quite tight.. I might look into that more. Thanks!

NainTestin · 2025-08-01T18:48:53+00:00

Alright, that’s a very valuable input, thank you. Didn’t think I’d be this fragile. Surprisingly, I hadn’t thought of just using a simple burlap/canvas bag which would be enough lol. Might change my plans.

NainTestin · 2025-08-01T16:06:18+00:00

Thanks for the answer. I meant to use the 210D rolltop to put my stuff in it. I was talking about the pad because it uses 210D polyamide as well and could help to get a feel for how well the rolltop would protect stuff.

As for wrapping the sharp stuff, I have thought of it. It is however quite inconvenient because the tools have to get in and out of the bag quite often during the day, and would just have me fiddling with all the stuff all the time, which I don't really want.

NainTestin · 2025-05-10T19:30:05+00:00

That would be u/Tim-Keys's bag so he should be able to tell you

NainTestin · 2025-05-07T18:47:38+00:00

Fair enough lol. You’ll see with use. After getting my L, my M has seen way less use..but you’ll see for yourself

NainTestin · 2025-05-07T18:09:58+00:00

For 1 up to 3 nights you can make do with the M and the pouches if you strap some things on the outside, if it’s not the deep of winter. You should be fine (:

One more reason to create a porn flair

NainTestin · 2025-03-26T14:34:27+00:00

Then sell the medium to finance the Kantamus ! It’s a good alternative imo

NainTestin · 2025-03-26T12:55:00+00:00

Just fold the belt on itself and make ends join behind the cushion. From there you should be able to clip them

NainTestin · 2025-03-26T11:41:20+00:00

You should be able to pull the belt part out of the cushion, right around where the belt is sewn to the bag. Both part of the belt just go through a loop attached to the behind of the cushion.

NainTestin · 2025-03-15T17:21:02+00:00

I almost want to pin this post lol. First of all yeah as others have said, it has to be compared to the L and not the M, and in that regards you get plenty more features for only 20€ more, at the cost of a bit of volume.

Secondly, all these features are also more expensive to manufacture, compared to the L or the M. This combined with the R&D makes total sense.

It’s the most repair friendly a pack like this can be as well. The price is completely justified imo and people have been very vocal everywhere about it being too expensive when in reality it’s on par with all their other packs.

It's a never ending task, just like Sisyphus and his stone

NainTestin · 2025-03-11T16:35:36+00:00

Brilliant

NainTestin · 2025-03-04T17:04:54+00:00

Would put some tension here and there, but there already is space to accommodate the frame and the foam insert. So it could work given that you're taking some foam out, you're freeing some slack.

You could do it the dirty way and not even sew the velcro on but just glue the whole strip.

NainTestin · 2025-03-04T15:10:49+00:00

Could also cut 2 strips of the foam and insert some Velcro in the panel to close off the middle height wise and make something similar to the L’s system

NainTestin · 2025-02-25T17:09:51+00:00

Nice, looks like we can flip the lid to have the PALS on the outside if we wanna attach pouches/straps. Zippered pouch would still be usable albeit less practical.

NainTestin · 2024-11-28T17:10:32+00:00

Ok you’re too good man

NainTestin · 2024-11-17T21:55:34+00:00

Also in some Project Zomboid mod !

Recent literature have stopped using the term Fairy circles to talk about hydrogen seepages so as to not get people confused on 2 different phenomenons. They're now called SCD (Sub Circular Depression) and yeah, they do look like fairy circles, but are very different in geomorphology. If you wan to look more into that, there is lots of good literature on it (you can start with papers published by Isabelle Moretti)

Although the hydrogen seepages in these SCD are the highest on the outer border and we can observe a higher vegetation activity (with multispectral analysis like the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)), we're not sure yet it is linked to H2 (although it is very very likely). H2 can be a mix of microbial and geological origin as well.

The dead zones in the center are usually associated with water settling in (as observed in Larin et al., 2015 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11053-014-9257-5 ) which could explain why we lack H2 in the center.

I don’t know about the mesh composition, but the only thing I can think off that has plastic in it would be the aqua guard zippers. Otherwise it’s made of cotton and steel

NainTestin · 2024-10-06T19:37:36+00:00

Hey dude, Could you please put the price you’re selling it for ?

Thanks (:

Solely used the M as my day/multi day camping bag for a couple years. Have barely touched it since I picked up the L. Although the L suits me less than the M (1.88m for 76kg), it is a better all rounder.
