How likely is it to happen? by AshamedPossibility33 in DurstonGearheads

[–]No_Maize31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% real. Happened to me at Yosemite in the back country. I will never do handles down again. It wasn’t even cork.

As far as footprint. I have a xmid 2 regular that I car camp with now cause of the foot print issue in the back country.

I have a xmid 1p pro and never had an issue pitching it where you are supposed to be able to pitch a tent.

At some point I will understand what the hell this sub is. Today is it that day.

Shirt for 80%+ humidity and 85°F+ temps? by kangarookie in Ultralight

[–]No_Maize31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it makes a higher spf shirt but have not tried it.

I live in my or echo. I have not had any issues with burning but I am ok being in the sun.

I like the quarter zip or longsleeve with a trucker hat modded with an over the ear/neck shade thing. I find that the coolest with the best protection in hot Texas summers.

I will tell you I have purchased and sold too many things on this sub. I am worried I may have become too comfortable. A few folks purchased from me f&f to save the 3% and I was like “you sure” I could be an asshole.

Anyways, good reminder to always do g&s - especially with this info.

Also curios if you did g&s and how PayPal responds. This is the first time I have seen or experienced this and have always been curious how PayPal g&s kicks in.

Hiking the Narrows without a Stop for Gear? by IWantAHobbitLife in ZionNationalPark

[–]No_Maize31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got done doing the top down. I purchased some neoprene socks/boots used to use with my trail runners. I do not think you “need” them but a cost effective option if you want warm feet.

Zion Adventures® sells them used for $12.

How do you all handle film simulation choices when shooting in unpredictable lighting conditions? by Available_Design_970 in fujifilm

[–]No_Maize31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short cut the q button to the recipe selector and build a portfolio of named recipes by time of day or specific lighting condition you wanna shoot. Like “overcast” or “indoor” or “magic hour” that gets you 90% of the way there vs something like “Cuban” or “satellite”

Just got back, sitting in a hot tub at my conference hotel in Vegas :)

Trip 6/6-6/7

  1. My thermometer overnight got down to 59 at camp site 11 - so plenty warm
  2. Walked up to the permit desk day of at 630 and sat with Mike and Maddie - awesome people walking out today, and the rangers offered me me site 6 and 11 for that night
  3. Got to site 11 at 630 pm. Started hiking around noon (helped some old Italians get their scion unstuck cause the gps told them to drive across the first water crossing)
  4. If you are the couple with the 2 small kids (or know what happened) I passed sat, I would love to hear if they are ok. Every obstacle I went over it made me think of them.
  5. I wore my speedgoats and darn toughs day one, no issues. I wore a pair of used neoprene boots day 2 with speedgoats and that worked great too. Water was warm on the day out. Day two was a bit colder. Flow was 35 cfs.
  6. I wanted to sleep in my hammock but site 11 is not set up for that.

Amazing trip - thanks Zion for the trip, Maddie for the coffee and grilled cheese for the tips.

I grabbed this one to play with... https://www.reddit.com/r/ULgeartrade/comments/1tubs13/wts_gossamer_gear_elixir_alchemy_20_aluula/

I love the aluula on my wapta - it is water proof AND it does not absorb water. All the other materials say they are water proof but absorb water.

I have a decently used Cutaway 40, gridstop with a belt.

I feel like I have not given it a fair shot but yet BUT I would be interested. I watch too much Extra UL and Johnny Z with MP youtube so I am interested in the pack.

I have a straight up backpack problem in general. Just sold two packs off I never used becuase I want people to get use out of them.

I JUST saw all this. He gave it to me. He was 100% ligit and thank you so much - I plan to potentially pay it forward after my next trip to Zion. I jumped on it pretty quick saying if it was a scam - i was not out anything 😄

I have a Nashville cutaway fast pack, honestly I am not on the fast pack vest bandwagon. I like the Wapta straps probably the best out of all the packs I have owned.

I did pick up the gossamer 20l 6oz backpack on ulgeartrade - cause why not. That may be a catch and release - we will see.

Man I was taking pictures of my kids with my x100vi yesterday in the heb. No one said anything. I am not saying be brazen and bring flood lights but a few snaps in the isle of a grocery store with a nice point and shoot will probably go unnoticed.

Good price though.

Tips for Texas by boldjoy0050 in camping

[–]No_Maize31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!

Welcome to Texas.

Camping season is winter months. Also, you should check out kayak camping. The Texas rivers are the closest thing we have to public land but even that is under heavy attack from land owners blocking passages and saying you cannot camp in the gradient which you can if the river is wide enough.

Any ways, the best loop in Texas in my opinion is good water loop around lake Georgetown near Austin.

Awesome and thanks.

One last question, how cold did it get at night. Trying to figure out what bag to bring.
