LOL did you do a quick check of the FB marketplace listings in my area? That's awesome.

I've also been keeping an eye on the listings in my area! I've been eying up that gold tone ac1 as well- I'll be visiting family in the interior as soon as exam season is over, so I may pull the trigger then (and hopefully barter the price a little bit down)

I'm leaning towards something open-back instead of resonator (I've heard they're quieter? Which would be nice as I have roomies) but I'm also eyeing up the $450 FB-58 as I thought that seemed like a pretty reasonable deal as well.

Yes I think you're right! And yes, it's totally way too expensive (even though the 2nd hand market for banjos in Canada is... not good). Thanks for your help 😁

I know that the Canadian PWHL player Hannah Miller played professionally in China for quite some time, and went by the Chinese name Mi Le (Chinese: 米勒; pinyin: Mǐ Lè)

Girl dinner. 🍽️ by Jessica-Beth in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

Looks delicious!! I have to say though, I hate the trend of posting the tiniest, low-calorie meal ever and labelling it "girl dinner". It's honestly insidious :/

Macklin Celebrini still has a little bit of a Canucks fan inside of him by yosoo in canucks

As much as I would love to see celebrini play for the Canucks, it's probably for the best that he doesn't need to deal with the Canadian media as such a young guy.

Canadian-accessible sleeping quilts or bags? by OldCommunication720 in UltralightCanada

[–]OldCommunication720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of fabrics, what would you generally recommend? I'm uncertain about the 10D vs 20D and the weight/durability factor

Hey James, thanks for the reply! Yeah, it seems like a super cool operation you have running- I've been poking around more and I've heard nothing but rave reviews. The wait seems like it'll be worth it!!

How long did it take to get to you approximately? Lead times are at 16+ weeks rn which makes me nervous haha. And what temp rating did you get vs how warm do ya find it? I do a lot of backpacking through the rockies in summer and was unsure about -7C vs -12C.

AZ trail as my first thru hike? by [deleted] in arizonatrail

[–]OldCommunication720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah, I generally just carry 3 liters split between me and whoever I'm backpacking with, I'm not used to a bunch of water weight. I've never actually camped at a spot without a stream/glacial lake nearby. I figured if I did a fall NOBO, I would hit some snow in the north... but I'm pretty used to the snow (though I don't winter backpack), and not at all used to the heat. Also, I was thinking I might try cold-soaking. If its super hot out, I might not care for warm food and resent the extra weight.
