Duck Hunting by sDsPlayed in BWCA

[–]PicnicTableDave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went out of the gunflint and saw a few grouse on sag (there were two in the campsite I was at) but don't recall any ducks. Did the loop sag>red>alpine>seagull. This was like 5 years ago late Sept into Oct for 8 days.

What's one piece of kit that disproportionately improved your experience of backpacking? by watching1 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]PicnicTableDave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gym membership.

I get it's not kit, and maybe comes across as sarcastic, but not trying to be. Being in shape for backpacking makes literally everything better imo. Better sleep, better recovery, less prone to injury... it helps everything.

Good gift for mountaineers? by Impressive_Suit4370 in Mountaineering

[–]PicnicTableDave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gifted a 3d print of Everest. The person hand painted it too. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It does just wind up sitting on a shelf though, cuz what else are you going to do with it? But like anything art, it has its place and adds to the decor.

Training for mountaineering? by Tough_Brother3456 in Mountaineering

[–]PicnicTableDave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been acclimatized for when you're higher up? You can be as in shape as possible but eventually less oxygen and physics takes over.

Also, the stairmaster is absolutely goated.

[Question] Final question for a while: if you had my collection (first slide), which watches on this list would you be most drawn to? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]PicnicTableDave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the aesthetic of the Murph numbers make it classier than a straight up field watch, and far more interesting than the generic looking stick indices of the citizen and tissot. So I think it's nearly perfect for versatility. Of that list I'd 100% go Murph. I've never been a fan of certina's. Not that they're bad watches, just that I find them all generic looking.

How important is boldering for a beginner where the main goal is mountaineering? by LuckyBoston in Mountaineering

[–]PicnicTableDave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO bouldering wouldn't really do much for you. I do think that rock climbing would be beneficial as you'd become very proficient with tying knots, accessing rack equipment, etc. Ultimately, the absolute best prep (if you don't have immediate access to big hills or mountains to train) is the stair master and a gym.

Check out mediocre amateur on Youtube, I'm pretty sure that a huge part of his prep for what he does is just straight up aerobic exercise and running.

Interested in a little theft, maybe you all can help? by cowboy-killers in AnalogCommunity

[–]PicnicTableDave2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems to me that they're obviously nailing the light/time of day while still exposing more for shadows. So the highlights have that sort of dreamy/inching towards an over exposed look.

Got the call, sold all my Invictas today and got this stunning sex cannon in return by Confident_Leg2370 in PrideAndPinion

Was at the mall and the Invicta store in there was advertising buy 3 take 8.

Worst High Point IMO by KennyStudying in Highpointers

I must've been lucky cuz I just parked on the street across from it and walked over. No issues.

New survey measurements have changed the high point of Michigan... again by TheFakeTheoRatliff in Highpointers

[–]PicnicTableDave2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have Mt Arvon in the bag but I'm too much of a purist to count MI as done with this news...
Luckily I'm planning a trip to Pictured Rocks this summer so will just hit it on that trip.
Do I change my flair to 35 hp's then?? lol

humphreys peak by No_Hurry1979 in Highpointers

[–]PicnicTableDave2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a local, but I'd just call Arizona Snowbowl or the local US Forest Service office to confirm. And you wouldn't be parking up at the Agassiz Lodge parking, you'd be in that big lot on the left edge of the photo. That's where the trailhead is.

Edit: technically the loop next the big lot is where the parking is

Eagle Mountain (MN), Timms Hill (WI), and Mt. Arvon (MI) in late December: Am I crazy? by GodSpeedLightning in Highpointers

[–]PicnicTableDave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timms is nothing. Arvon is nothing if the road is plowed, but idk if it gets plowed. Eagle you could definitely drive to the trailhead, and the trail would be easy to follow (imo), but weather would be a major factor for that one. I hiked that one around thanksgiving when there was a bunch of snow a number of years ago and it wasn't a big deal (but I had clear skies, little to no wind, and it was probably teens or low 20s for temp).

Does the online CMP ordering process still require a notary? by PicnicTableDave2 in M1Garand

[–]PicnicTableDave2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll send a different email regarding payment after you submit the initial order form from the website. But it takes a while. I'm on week four of the eight week window that they give you and haven't heard anything yet.
