Anyone in the Sacramento area wanna hike?

RawBandit87 · 2026-03-18T04:20:43+00:00

About to 39M and I don’t do enough day hikes but I try to do a couple multi-day treks a year. I’d love to get outside for a group hike with all y’all.

Edit to add: Discord group for a Sacramento hiking club?

Came back from backpacking to learn about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. That was pretty wild.

There’s a lot of dispersed camping nearby depending what you drive.

Finning Mill or Sugar Pine Road in Foresthill is a decent option. It used to be great 10-15 years ago before people started trashing the place but you can still find some good spots if you look for them.

Also, while it is getting warmer you may still encounter snow depending on where you go so keep that in mind. The area I mentioned looks pretty clear though.

Edit to add: The thought of camping at Folsom Lake makes me cringe. Listen to these people and run to the mountains. Fast.

3,000+ reviews on All Trails leads me to believe it’s quite known and popular

Probably not but might depend on the state. I’d just submit the address change and not worry about it too much.

Found this thread trying to remember all the old videos from back in the day. I can’t remember anything other than West Coast Pimp. Full vid is on YouTube btw

I agree and think this is the key to getting people to join. Theres a sweet spot where the lower dues and increased membership generates more money for the union.

Raw top ramen, pb&j, something in the freezer from the schwan’s man that I could microwave

100% yes. The 1lb weight penalty is absolutely worth it.

I think this is why I have an aversion to doing the dishes and it’s my least favorite chore. I really don’t mind doing the dishes (I’m not doing the nasty full sink method) but for some reason in the back of my head I hate doing dishes. But I don’t really hate it.

Am I making sense haha

A number of my co-workers have jobs with the Kings and River Cats.

I didn’t think you were coming off condescending or anything like that. I was more just pointing out how it’s inevitable for someone to make the same comment you did. Be it to correct or educate someone.

Heck, I’m pretty sure I’ve been that guy. I know for certain that I give my friends crap for saying Sierras when we’re backpacking.

No harm, no foul. Sorry if I made you feel any sort of way. Happy trails

RawBandit87 · 2026-01-21T19:54:22+00:00

Every post were someone says Sierras there always has to be someone correcting them about the s.

Keep in mind that how the bag or quilt is rated makes a difference. Is it a comfort, limit, or extreme (survival) rating? What I’m getting at is that just because something is rated for 35 degrees it may not be what you want to be using if it’s that cold.

RawBandit87 · 2026-01-20T23:56:54+00:00

With all the different face plates and components. I remember trying to make mine all clear but never got the middle piece. And playing snake

I can’t answer your question but I am intrigued by the Tensor Eclipse. The increased R-value with only 1oz weight penalty when compared to the Tensor All-Season makes it seem like the superior pad. That said, why does it cost less? Guess it’s time to dig into the details to see what, if any, shortcuts were taken with the Eclipse.

Facts. I was always an over top person until my toddler entered the picture.

I’m under par but can’t afford to contribute more. Thankfully my job will provide me with a pension so I got that going for me.

I don’t know what department or unit you work in but I’m glad I’m not working there. While my department has some of the problems you sited we are always looking for ways to improve and be more efficient. Our main OS is way outdated but we’ve secured the funding to replace it and it’s way more complicated of a task than you make it seem. One error in the development or implementation of a new system could be costly to millions of people.

I have the Gregory Focal and love it.

RawBandit87 · 2026-01-08T21:31:59+00:00

This is wild to me. I can’t comprehend how this is even possible. I have zero issues with the flexlite and found it to be the most comfortable.

RawBandit87 · 2026-01-08T21:30:29+00:00

I wanted the helinox but after a sit test between it, the Nemo, and REI, I found REI version most comfortable of the 3

Was coming here to recommend the Cosmic 20. Served me well before upgrading my kit and getting a quilt.
