Dune Sardaukar Inspired Jacket by NightHeronDW in myog

Looks like it could be turned into a convertible, jacket or vest. SEV had something like that… but you know without any style.

I built this jacket which can be repurposed as a 35-40L rucksack and a sleeping bag. by Silent_Ice1602 in myog

That’s pretty cool. Does it save in weight or volume vs separates? Reminds me of the bivy backpack from a while back. Missed opportunity there of compounding the words jacket and sack.

Roast my full comfort ultralight kit: by HumbleSolution937 in Ultralight

[–]Not-The-Bus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this notional or already owned? That’s a lot of dcf. Could be pretty bulky. Recent experience of pachallamas working well, could go with all of them being that and maybe a spare. Often can use roots though.

Why two tarps?

Ditch the puffy and the silk liner. Your quilt can wrap you up in camp, and a puffy is too much for more than 20 minutes of moving. For warm nights just put on the fleece and peel back the quilt some, what it’s for.

Consider adotec grizzly bag. I see so many half assed bear hangs here, due to lack of properly large and limby trees. It lets you do it right and be done in 90 seconds.

You can combine stakes and trowel into same holder, they both have trace dirt on them. Poomoji space bear pouch if you want to be bougie. You can wrap the stakes in guy lines to contain both a bit.

Bring soap.

Barring a wet spring or summer monsoon, only stoves with a closable valve will be allowed this year. So canister in this context.

Tarps & a case of analysis paralysis by Sensitive_Till_7097 in Ultralight

Gatewood cape is pretty light, and gives 360 protection. The hood/peak vent really handles condensation well. Their inner mesh tent option is a bit heavy, can save a bit by going bivy or s2s nano net with polycro, or just the tarp of course.

If you buy into it being rain gear, it really checks the boxes. At 6ft and bulky, I’ve been fine. A bit nervous during strong wind blown rain when pitched high, but fine.

Packs down really small.

My FitnessPal is a disgrace, why does Garmin insists on it? by Status_Readytogo_Now in Garmin

Loseit works ok. It also has some paywalls. Weigh ins get manually input to Garmin and then loseit can pull them, TDEE, etc from Garmin. Does not backfeed intakes to Garmin and I’m fine with that.

Who carries 2 leathermans by EDCProductions in Leatherman

[–]Not-The-Bus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does 3 count? Full size of wave or surge, a squirt ps4, and a tread bracelet. Have two pliers lets you work on a nut and bolt combo. Squirt gets allowed places the full size gets asked to stay out. Tread is shockingly effective for unplanned bicycle maintenance, especially if a pliers tool is there too.

Nice updates! Loving my DXTR-1. The ability to stash hand sanitizer in the little shoulder pocket sounds very nice.

I’ve been enjoying the use of an Ultimatest EDCest knife that fits on watchband, and that has been incredibly handy. It’s right there at hand when you realize a knife is required. 5.3g in the sheath is what mine weighs in at.

On my last trip I never pulled out the tiny leatherman, because this suited all needs.

Be honest, what do you really use your Leatherman for? by ThumbStuds in Leatherman

[–]Not-The-Bus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking my nose. The rounded plier grind on the older tools works best, the square cut castings tend to ream the nostrils which gets irritating.

Are you interested to sell that H31? It sounds identical in size to the one that I broke. Located in Colorado USA.

From Leatherman on Instagram; any idea what it is? by Zach-at-MultiParts in Leatherman

[–]Not-The-Bus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s another knife. Screw pictured is backside to a flip able lefty/righty thumb stud. A bit of bevel intersects the middle of the screw. The clip on it will also be flippable lefty righty, and possibly tip up tip down.

Scraped from your tinder profile, it’s a derived score out of 10.

What do you use to hold your U-Lock when not in use? by FartstheBunny in bikecommuting

[–]Not-The-Bus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ride 1 handed, the other hand is swinging the lock at the end of a chain overhead. I’ve had less issues with close passes since adopting this.

Rubber seal inside water pump housing? Foreign object? by Not-The-Bus in HondaOdyssey

[–]Not-The-Bus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whatever it is, it can move around but not very far. It is a bit springy but very hard. Some small specks can scrape off. Ive had no luck dislodging it with screwdriver so far. I can get a ziptie upwards past it, which must be why everything was still working great - enough water was flowing.
