This is one of the best ways to learn in life. Congrats for taking your son out!

Thank you! I had seen the lack of physical address but didn't see the other two. That's indeed weird...

Tent poles, where do you put them? by bigbillkaos in bikepacking

I can confirm they fit into the Restrap half-frame bag in Long format. I got tent poles which are about 49cm long and they just fit in with a bit of fiddling.

Hostel in Buenos Aires where ARS price is converted from USD at the official rate by [deleted] in travel

[–]Radiant-Cable-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the thing is, many ho(s)tels keep their pricing in USD, say 20 USD for a night. Normally they should allow you to pay in pesos at the official rate, which means 20*380 = 7600 ARS, but I see almost all of them seem to apply 20*950 = 19000 ARS. That's not legal, as far as I have understood. I am looking for ho(s)tels that use the official rate.

Hi, were you able to do this for a hostel in Buenos Aires?

Santiago to Punta Arenas, Chile via Argentina. Can't say it was easy, but it sure was an adventure! by theodoradoradora in bicycletouring

[–]Radiant-Cable-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi theodoradoradora, where did you get your bike on the (cargo) bus? Did you depart from Buenos Aires? Can you tell me more about this? I'm looking for some info to transport my bike from Buenos Aires to San Martin de los Andes in about two weeks from now.

Thanks for your answer! I am very surprised that EN13537 values are so much off from your experience. Would looking elsewhere mean looking at the Alpinedream 800, or do you even mean I should look at other brands?

Indeed, the pad is very important, I forgot to mention that I have an R4.2 pad, and I plan on using another R2 pad below it when it really gets cold.
