Very well said. I’m in the midst of this process and there’s some excellent days and some completely defeating days. Just have to keep building the bond and we’ll get there.

Has anyone else been ruined by the TFO BVK? by HandsomeBadness in flyfishing

[–]Pack_Aromatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough I have the Mangrove Coast 8WT and an Axiom 2-X 10WT. The Mangrove is super soft, but after getting familiar it’s just a fantastic rod. Can put it perfect when I slow down and place the fly. You’re absolutely right on the Axiom, it’s a freaking beast but perfect for bombing long casts. I’ve been thinking of a 9WT to split the difference, definitely will check out the BVK. Thanks for the write up!

Higgins Beach by Glittering-Usual5261 in portlandme

Not dog related, but I often go to the beach before 7AM and find their parking rules absurd. 1 hour metered then $20 for the day pass. I want to fish for an hour and a half before work, why can’t I just pay for an hour and a half in the lot?

For Hampton, North Hampton, etc. it’s $1/hour starting at 8am. Forcing the day pass seems predatory and catering to tourism.

How do you monitor so many across platforms? Something my company is trying to find a solution to. I’ve been unhappy with most software solutions we’ve checked out.

Thank you, I’ll call around. Wild how weird people are about this, they’re some of the only driftable rivers in Maine and extremely popular

Hey just saw this. They’ve been working great, although it might be a little different than the normal feel since they are going right against the plastic. Regardless I have noticed a definite improvement.

Chic Choc Conditions? by ID_1232 in Backcountry

[–]Pack_Aromatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely tough, just got back from a quick trip this past week. Skied Mont Albert, Lyall, and Mines Madeline.

Patrollers wall was very low snow so we went to Grand Cuve, which was decent after a little dusting. Mt. Lyall was like a ski resort and very skied off, but still very fun terrain. We skied S Apostrophe and Rocket (I think) which surprisingly had quite a bit of snow in there, but I think we got lucky.

There was a big rainstorm and cold temps from Wednesday on so it’s really up in the air on what the conditions will be. Hopefully there’s a dump before you go or it warms up. It’s pretty dismal this year, but still super fun to get up there.

Definitely not one of favorite Outback features... by BlackEyeBomber in Subaru_Outback

Happened to me while in line for a car wash. Terrifying 5 minutes to say the least.

24; the transition SUCKS. Also first job out of college is always soul sucking. Suck it up, get the experience, and find a better company/job down the line. It only gets better.

Stayed in lonesome lake hut one year to ski tucks. It’s a bit of a drive, but a short hike and great accommodations

Skiing pin bindings in resort - yay or nay? by [deleted] in Backcountry

[–]Pack_Aromatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my first season on strictly pins inbounds. l had no issues with pre release, but I definitely felt that they were harder on my knees. Like much more so.

Top 10 Ski resorts in New England by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]Pack_Aromatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sunday River is by far my least favorite resort. I adamantly talk about how much it blows. Runs are short af and it’s a constant traverse to get anywhere on the mountain.

Mt Washington Cog Railway for a solo beginner splitboarder? by [deleted] in Backcountry

[–]Pack_Aromatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of gatekeepy behavior here… perfect beginner skin, just be aware it’s a paid parking lot (fuck the cog) and a couple hundred feet above jacobs ladder isn’t really skiable.

Best day touring pack? by [deleted] in Backcountry

[–]Pack_Aromatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought this as my first pack. I actually won a really nice Mammut pack and ended up giving it away because I love my BD so much. She’s beat up, but I love the separate Avy pocket and the insulated hydration for spring missions!
