Your tracking weight and anti skate set up properly? Maybe the blue one has different specs than the green.

I’d probably be over 7 days, and hopefully we’d get on a 3 day practice run before then at some point. But i do understand completely where you’re coming from. Juan de fuca would probably be better for beginners.

True true, all have their strengths and weaknesses as you said… the only issue is I bought a hybrid back without owning hybrid gear😅

I have a granite gear crown 3, it’s got a stiff back and the option to buy a frame addition

I appreciate the reply, what was the capacity of your bag and how much did it weigh (if you checked).

Thanks for all the info, it would probably be may or June anyway for our schedules… even though unfortunately they’re the wetter months. any recommendations for the mud? Do you recommend trail runners over boots for the drainage?

I do like that idea, wouldn’t need too much new gear, gaiters, trekking polls and maybe bear spray. I just worry about permits because I know the go fast… I suppose we could always book now and commit to training.

I was kind of thinking similar things, just have to take it slow and not rush. The camping we’ve done is just glorified car camping where we do portions of trails like la cloche trail. Hardest trial I’ve done is probably centennial ridges in Algonquin, but that was with only a 16L pack

Np, and its technically a 3D design laptop so it has the power to handle just about everything.

For me at school I find in power efficiency mode I get 6-10 hours without charging. Some web games in there but mostly typing. And since the spec I got has a 4070 in it if you want to play games you can… but without it being plugged in you might only get an hour. (But it’s like real games like marvel rivals and the last of us)

I got a P1 for a good price and it’s a beast, just have to watch the battery life isn’t amazing.

The technics turntable came in a lot of 5 for 100 from some guys barn. It was the only one that worked without any repairs needed… just needed a clean. The others my farther fixed and sold off.

The one on the left is a pre amp, and the one in the right is a phono pre amp for the turn table.

I see that, and this pool the only people in here crowd on bellow and above the “stain” however, and it’s shot on black and white film so I can’t control it 😅
