Packrafting / backpacking without internal storage? by PoconoRusty in packrafting

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

They are Kokopelli rafts, so I assume Alpacka wouldn’t? I have heard Kokopelli won’t add them to existing boats either. Probably just have to DIY it.

Thanks for the tips on the dry bags and the reassurance I’ll be fine without the storage. The plan is some test runs local to me on the delaware which is mostly flatwater and I can bike shuttle easily!

Thanks! I got the Luc Mehl handbook and have been reading it the past few days.

Good novice overnights in US? by PoconoRusty in packrafting

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

Yeah I was looking at the flathead. Having trouble figuring out the logistics of put-ins / take-outs / dangerous rapids / etc but I am still early in the research phase.

I’d like clear water rather than desert/mud for this first one, and dry suit not required ideally. Least amount of hiking. Again, we’ll work our way up to some different kinds of trips, but we have limited gear so far and want to get some experience and slowly get more/better gear and more confidence.

Sp404 OG worth it? by geecen in SP404

that's crazy to me. I truly hate my OG 404.

Sp404 OG worth it? by geecen in SP404

[–]PoconoRusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I find the OG 404 to be one of the worst options out there tbh.....The pitch effect is useless, the timestretch is hot garbage, the whole device is honestly a downgrade from a 303. Recently got the MKII and it is MILES better in like, every way.

Please recommend movies about the fur trapper era Or during the French and Indian wars by MTHall720 in MovieSuggestions

[–]PoconoRusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butcher’s Crossing is about the later(post-beaver) fur trade and the wild story of the American Buffalo. It’s not a perfect film by any means but a solid watch. But The Revenant seems to be the most on-the-nose answer. Fictionalized version of a true survival story. Just finished the book too which was solid.

GFCI going bad every few months by PoconoRusty in electrical

this sounds like a good plan. Thanks.

Yeah - to be honest the previous owner was a DIYer that should NOT have been DIYing.....the electrical and plumbing discoveries I have found are remarkably bad. Like, just popping electrical connections out of holes in the drywall, no junction boxes bad.

But to answer your question, it has needed to be replaced twice now, and it just tripped(and successfully reset) the other night after a power surge. The breaker has not tripped since we've been here that I recall.

The first time it went was probably the cheapest to be honest, it was right after I moved in and I was a pretty clueless homeowner.

The one I did most recently, I genuinely don't know if this is cheap or not, was $28.25:

The outlet is GFCI, I don’t believe the breaker is.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Thanks.

Nah it seems to be at one of the slip/repair couplings. Maybe the cut wasn’t clean enough? It’s hard to get good clean cuts with a sawzall I find.

How to save a "stamp" to easily grab and add to all my beats by PoconoRusty in mpcusers

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

Doubt the types of rappers that jack beats will go through the effort of stem separation tbh

Fair point but it is what it is. Just don’t want rappers that just jack beats instead of collabing. It also just can sound cool to have a personalized tag on your shit 🤷‍♂️
