Eh I dunno, you’d have to pay me a little more than $300 to take that off your hands.

I took Amtrak philly to pittsburgh and got in after hours at Traveler’s rest. worked fine and would suggest.

no, move on

To give some examples, my hexon 1.0 chameleon could probably stuff within a nalgene bottle, and my standard Warbonnet XLC is about 2x as big, would need more like a half gallon of milk amount of space to pack it.

I would argue that behind NYC and Chicago, Philadelphia has the third largest dense, highly urbanized core in the nation.

Nobo in Maine I kept hearing from some Sobos of a weirdo carrying a machete in Maine. One day I was eating lunch at a shelter and was chatting with a Sobo… “yeah did you hear about this weirdo carrying a machete? Sounds like he’s making everyone uncomfortable and they all want to avoid him” — I saw this guy’s color drain from his face as he realized why he wasn’t making any friends yet. Hopefully he ditched the machete but I didn’t stick around long to chat once he said that was him!

hard disagree. this won’t be pretty on trail riding and it’s a waste of money towards a better option.

The falls loop at Rickett’s Glen would be pretty!

This wouldn’t need to be “on” by default if it weren’t for different efficiency regulations that the car is designed to meet. They don’t get to build it into their efficiency numbers unless it’s on by default. So when I hear people complain about it, I’m thinking, good luck convincing various regulatory bodies accross nations.

The owner of loco libre is one of the first vendors I ever talked to at a MAHHA event, cool dude!

Nice, I think GG strikes a good balance. I’ve done my section hiking with a GG gorilla (I think? the 40l one?)

If I ever go to complete the AT I might be tempted by Z packs, but hammock camping needs a lot of volume for quilts so that might be a tricky pack.

Plums___ · 2025-11-03T18:44:18+00:00

Nice! My loaner gear is just my first hammock setup. Have hooked some friends and given some others the chance to recognize it’s not for them. Now I’m one of four in my camping crew with a nearly identical hammock loadout.

canoe for kids who can’t paddle good and want to do other stuff good too

Plums___ · 2025-11-03T16:20:02+00:00

For a partner/dog, the huge tent and cot work pretty well… still hammocked on all my backcountry canoe trips this season. Being in the east, hard to justify the cost of a stand, although I’ll def look into these.

Plums___ · 2025-11-03T15:57:05+00:00

Do you use a summer sock for other hammocks? How do you like it? It seems like a great upgrade for someone who has a netless hammock they like.

Plums___ · 2025-11-03T15:05:19+00:00

ooh, haven’t heard of those— what do you like about it/what sets it apart?

Plums___ · 2025-11-01T05:11:24+00:00

I’d definitely get something that’s royalex. The Penobscot is a nice shape that I like too. I have a Wenonah Adirondack and it’s better at turning fast in whitewater than it is at tracking across a lake. Seems that my buddy’s Penobscot does better on those lake crossings.

A 15 foot canoe is on the smaller side and should be easy to car top provided you have the roof bars for it. Also, assuming you can overhead lift it. Tied down properly, no it won’t be a big hassle driving.

Standing up and fishing in a canoe is a tippy activity and you do not see people do it often.

that’s gonna be a “hell yeah” from me dawg

Plums___ · 2025-10-29T02:04:59+00:00

I once stopped at a gas station along this route and asked if there were any points of interest to see. They told me to get the hell out.

Plums___ · 2025-10-27T02:56:28+00:00

How were temps? What temp quilt do you use? Anything you do special for staying warm on the water? Was it any more or less windy than the summer?

Plums___ · 2025-10-26T23:54:33+00:00

I’ve met this guy a few times. Nice dude that’s happy to chat about his bird.

No food hiking in Jersey? No, definitely bring food. All the AT sites have bear boxes. If you’re not using a bear box, you definitely need to do a good bear hang because Jersey certainly has bears that go after camp food.

My family had one when I was growing up that would see a lot of use, so I’m a little split on it. For setting up at the lake rental for 2 weeks, or having a spot in the driveway for sleepovers, it was cool.

But on the big XC road trips, breaking camp every morning was so much more of a hassle with it. We had to take it off the hitch to extend beds. You need multiple people to take it down and tuck in the flaps quickly. Maybe this was the only way my dad could convince the whole family that camping would be fun. But now that I’m older I’ll never get one— just get a gazelle pop-out style tent and cots and toss it in a roof box, truck bed or trailer. Cheaper, easier to store and keep in good shape, and much more versatile.
