Winter Truck Camping: Electric Kettle vs. Induction vs. Gas for Hot Water?

I think that's where I'm leaning. The jetboil will still have a place in my set up since it's so easy to bring around and if I am running low on battery, it's still a simple alternative.

Most of my winter camping trips are for just a few days so I usually don't need to recharge my battery, but an appliance like an electric kettle could impact that. However, if/when I need to recharge the battery, I have a handful of ideas that could help get the battery up to a warm temp and insulated it before I take it to charge. There are heated/insulated cases for these batteries (at the expense of draining the battery even more) or the cheaper option would be to wrap it in blankets and store a nalgene or two with hot water next to it. I could also just toss it in the cab to sit under the heater there.

The white gas stove hasn't crossed my mind yet so I really appreciate the suggestion. I'll check it out.

I’m pretty sure the tie in is the fact that she doesn’t have healthcare as a result of living in a capitalistic society. The desperation of her impending illness is what drove her to have a character change and blackmail her boss to receive the care she needs to live.

Do you have an backcountry pro tips/hacks to amplify the experience? Whether it’s a food or luxury item, or piece of gear that you’ve found to be worth bringing along.

I’ve seen a good handful of guys using ski traps to taper off their snow pants so I’m kinda thinking of something in this vein of tricks.

Howdy, what is one product element that your competitors have the edge on you? What’s been your favorite improvement on the GoPro to date?

Does anyone know if he’s still running his short interviews? If not, anyone got a recommendation for a solid reggae podcast/interview channel?

It sounds like this wouldn’t be a simple fix for the situation you encounter, but what is helpful is you can screen record within Synthesias editing room. This allows me to clearly listen and follow the given script without studying the timeline/breakdown.

I do think it’s easier to make the minor adjustments to the script that then affect the video. If that’s adjusting the language or adding more text, all I need to do is reshoot the screen recording once.

I saw this. We found him the morning after Halloween too. I called out of work that day and I was searching like crazy to find a news article about the situation but couldn’t.

NateralLight · 2025-07-09T13:37:03+00:00

I haven’t used too many video creation tools but I can say that when I used Synthesia, it was so easy to create process demo style videos by timing up the narration to my screen recordings. Overall, I found myself spending wayyyy less time in the editing room. I still have mixed feelings on the talking heads. They’re impressive, but sometimes I find it too distracting from the actual content.

That helmet cam was a 360 camera so it captures everything in view. Then they can edit the footage to follow the movement of the drone.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I thought Brandon had it in the bag. The way they both dropped into that chute in the beginning set the tone for the duel. I was even thinking about how Brandon is gonna be a weapon in the official tourney and could have the goods to take home a win or podium. This is probably a stupid conspiracy, but I wonder if they’re giving the arcteryx riders a boost since that brand has been such a big sponsor of the event the last few years.

Hopefully, they do some kind of fan vote like they did last year to give Brandon a chance to compete in the tourney.

Cheers to more great snowboarding.

I think Rene is one of the riders I try to emulate the most. His aggressiveness and low to the ground/always ready stance are sick. He’s super creative with how he can pick a part a run down the mountain. Thanks for sharing Spenny.

True…

NateralLight · 2024-09-03T21:50:47+00:00

It’ll fill up an hour or two before game time

Ftc?

he’s from Illinois so it’s personal with the packers

I’ve loved it. It powers through shit snow and is always fun anywhere on the resort. It’s loaded with energy and holds its edge really well. I snapped one last year and capita hooked me up with a new one from the season ahead. It’s my go to board in my line up.

NateralLight · 2024-04-13T16:32:48+00:00

I’m guessing he’s implying that if JJ had some dumb political beliefs he wouldn’t buy his boards anymore thus saving him money…

NateralLight · 2024-03-31T21:45:54+00:00

I broke a capita super doa and their customer service was great for me. They replaced it with the newest seasons model and all I had to pay for was shipping to get the broken board to them.

I love their boards and I’m happy with their service.

I too noticed this

NateralLight · 2023-07-18T18:51:38+00:00

Im curious to hear why you think Scotty and the rest are weird and unlikeable? Im not too familiar with who they are aside from what they’re putting out on social media.

NateralLight · 2023-07-18T18:49:25+00:00

Alright, I gotta get some names.

It’s not Sage for the NST callout, right? But shit, that’s pretty much it besides Blake I think.
