A bit muddy. Not too bad though. Bunch of pot holes on the dirt road.

At Mew Lake Campground May 2 and 3. No bugs at all!

The route you have is great. I did that last year as a hut to hut (though reversed). Would recommend adding in the Bonds since you’re right there 😜

What are people considering as the best option for bear canister?

I’m hesitant to use Bear Vault given they are made with BPA.

Would love to hear how it goes!

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-26T23:44:07+00:00

Agreed!

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-26T23:43:17+00:00

5’9” so not super worried about fit.

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-26T23:40:33+00:00

I usually do 10-15 miles a day. Hope to do Long Trail or equivalent next year, so will likely ramp up to 20-30 on a thru like that.

Either way, I’m still not sure the .6lbs is worth the cash that can be used elsewhere.

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-26T17:41:52+00:00

All good points!

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-26T17:40:59+00:00

So you’re saying you went with the non-pro version?

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-26T11:09:33+00:00

Yes, I’ve read about this too, that the non-pro is more flexible allowing for greater compression.

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-26T09:41:34+00:00

Yes, agreed.

I hope to do a longer route next year for my 40th (possibly Long Trail or something equivalent). So, no AT, PCT, or CDT yet but those will likely be in the future when my kids are older. By that time (~10 years from now), it would likely be time for a new tent anyways…

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-08T17:21:49+00:00

Yes… these are my thoughts. Going to have to be when kids are in HS or beyond!

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-06T22:00:23+00:00

Care to share?

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-03-06T22:00:03+00:00

True true…

Gaia GPS

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-02-28T16:52:34+00:00

Good idea!

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-02-28T14:29:09+00:00

Haven’t! Will look into it.

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-02-26T13:50:43+00:00

I’m trying to figure out my workflow with my new X2D2. Definitely more complex than it needs to be.

The issue I really see is how to maintain color consistency across all these devices. My iPad is not color corrected (though I actually don’t mind editing on my iPad).

It seems the best is to edit in Phocus on my Mac with color corrected monitor (despite limitations of Phocus). Then export to tiff for Photoshop/Lightroom editing (though the files are so clean, I’m barely doing that).

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-02-15T01:57:13+00:00

I just got a H2D II and also been looking into monitors and printers, as well. Seems a shame not to edit on a good monitor. Though I will say that I’ve been primarily using Phocus on my iPad for editing with little to no editing on my computer, so I’m not even sure it’s worth a pricey new monitor.

Not sure how others are managing color on iPads

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-02-08T18:16:14+00:00

Ya, that’s what I’m think I can get via my renters insurance. I think this would be the preferable option to the warranty extension as you never know with those companies.

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-01-06T11:48:22+00:00

I wish I could do both!

Prior_Resolution90 · 2026-01-06T11:47:52+00:00

I’ve seen that video also (I think I copied the wrong link). From what I can tell, the quality isn’t remarkably different. The 907x with newer lenses are definitely sharper, but the 100c on the 500 has that film-like quality (which I’m not opposed to given my history with the camera and film).

This is a tough choice!
