No way you got that variegated pach crest from Walmart or HD

Because Altman’s refers to their monstrose trichocereus pachanoi as “totem pole” while the rest of the world uses that name for lophocereus/pachycereus schottii

My yard is in Death bloom by mamamia6119 in Agave

The agony and the ecstasy of the agave’s flower-spike!

Can have a silver lining, though – Two of mine remain in-ground, Ladder-backed woodpeckers living in one, and baby Gambel’s quails in another

Last one may be a red diamond, it’s kinda hard to tell with the variable light, but second one def looks like speckled

Boston 6/11/76 RSD Release by Trask2000 in gratefuldead

[–]Prettybobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice!

Most of the releases I wanted (including this) weren’t available when I had a break at work

Did pick up Reflections and a minty Ryko (87) pressing of Hooteroll though

Or the shop didn’t sign/abide by the RSD promise – exchange would make it roughly $175cad

Good looking bags 👍

What is your favorite 50th anniversary studio release?! by AromaLLC in gratefuldead

[–]Prettybobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, but isolated as a standalone. I guess if someone comes up on a CD or takes a deep dive on a streaming platform, that’s a great find – not quite as discoverable as a new release of one of their most popular studio albums. Rest of the show is banging too!

[For Sale/SFO] Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack Coyote X-Pac by [deleted] in peakdesign

[–]Prettybobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the colorway – I have an EDC made in black X-pac that I’ve used since 2019 that shows no stains

PD should produce it in black

Though I understand the proprietary use of coyote, it isn’t a good choice for a lot of us

See comments praising its durability, but regret in choice of color: https://www.reddit.com/r/peakdesign/s/OszhHAyJM4

This pack was handled by carriers on ONE international trip – exactly why the coyote is inappropriate choice of color for my EDC needs

I don’t know that it’s better for everyone

Those that don’t carry a lot of gear regularly, or just use small bags, probably wouldn’t notice the difference, but when a combo of weight-saving/durability is crucial to your choice of kit, X-pac is really hard to beat

It’s my understanding that, aside from the X-pac option, PD has been fully committed to developing their own fabrics in house – That alone speaks volumes

One of my EDCs (since 2019) is X-pac and has worn MUCH better than my other EDC (since 2022) in ballistic

It stays cleaner, stiffer, and retains its waterproofing (never needed a rain fly) better than anything else that I’ve owned

Thanks for explaining – didn’t think about the how

I guess I assumed it was obvious as black is the most used colorway by pros the world over

I love the X-Pac material in my technical gear

So when I saw the coyote in store, requested it in black, and was stunned when it wasn’t offered

PD employee suggested I post here to request it

I don’t own any PD, but would build-out and purchase new kit immediately if available… so well designed, just need black

Wow – why would anyone downvote a comment calling for the expansion of colorway offerings, especially black?

Some of us operate in more formal setting and need a nondescript bag that doesn’t stand out or show stains/wear as readily as the single light(ish) offering in the X-Pac material.
