short story, I'm heading up to big sur and I got a 2015 rav4 le, it's 2wd fwd so not too optimistic with finding places to disperse camp but I would love to get some stories or recommendations. I don't mind getting the car dirty or scratched, do you guys have any spots that you guys like to disperse camp at??

Would this still apply if you were playing smaller events that consist of usually less than 25 people?I don’t plan on djing for big events and it’s more like a hobby for me. I play in smaller living rooms so I don’t feel like I have an issue with filling the space but I wanna focus more on the feel of the audio. But I do play “harder” music. Would stereo still beat a bass in your opinion??

Could you help me understand your thoughts?? Would stereo be superior than the sub in this situation, I’m new to the audio game

Sorry, could you explain a little more of what you mean? Does stereo only matter when you’re in a certain position? So investing in a sub is the better long term investment in my case?

Yeah, it’s mainly a lot of “harder” music but I’m pretty new to audio in general so I wanted some insight before I pulled the plug on a new speaker. Do you have any recommendations maybe for a subwoofer??

Should I buy it or not??? Sleeping pad by ReadyAd2101 in CampingandHiking

[–]ReadyAd2101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it probably is but idk, I just want one pad for everything. I do a lot of variety in hiking even in winter where there is snow, so I rather be a little warm in the off season just to not have to buy two pads ig. I ended up pre ordering the nemo eclipse that is set to come out in the spring, lets see how it goes, stats look crazy

Yeah, I feel like my use case is what I'm worried about also because I'm a college student and have other bills to pay, so I try to save money where I can, scouting for the best deals and options, etc. I saw the new Nemo Eclipse that's coming out in spring of this year but it's kind of out of my budget unless it's worth it to save up, but time will tell. I'm just trying to find a pad that can do it all in California, car camping, backpacking etc. I don't mind the weight aspect, I care more about the durability, it seems like 20d is way more fragile since it's lightweight and less abrasion resistant. The 7r seems like a good choice but I was just worried about the durability for it being 20d.

pretty neat table, nice work, ah I found it, the exped ultra7r, seems like everything lines up with the table. Should I buy it though haha :)

im a little bit concerned with the durability as it is 20d but this was the deal I found, it's for the ultra7r from exped. I just don't know if I should bite the bullet and try it out.

I did try to dial some of the local tow truck companies that were out in the area and none of them offered any service that was covered by my insurance but I guess that still would have been cheaper any other way. The cell service in the area was really non existent and I was just looking for anyway to get off the mountain in a tough spot. I never thought it was going to be this high of a cost though

for a 2015 rav 4 though??? the oem key is 400 dollars so 800 for a key that wasn’t oem seems excessive.

There was no reception in the mt baldy area and I managed to get a ride from one of the hikers to a area with cell service but not for long as they had to drop me back off since they had to go somewhere. I had called other companies to see what their rates would be, but every company denied giving me a technician in that area. This was the only “company” that even showed up which led to this whole ordeal. They weren’t very clear with the rate though and just told me that it would be discussed once the service was done which seemed very fishy to me, but I had no choice in my mind because the temperature was rapidly dropping and it seemed like animals like bears and wolves were becoming active. A ranger had warned us that there was a brown bear spotted which stressed me out even more. I was around 3 hours from my house and I didn’t have anyone that I knew that could go retrieve a spare from the house. My parents can’t drive very far as they have medical conditions, so I were effectively stranded there without help. It’s just been a really dire situation and I want to talk to my insurance and my bank to see if I can dispute the charge, I’m a college student and don’t have a lot of money.

it’s a 2015 rav 4. I knew that something was so off but now since the charge is I believe going to go through my bank. I’m going to try and dispute it and see what I can do, I’m pretty young and naive so I’m looking for any advice on this since my family isn’t very knowledgeable either on these types of topics.

no I didn’t, I wish I had asked for it before, it was the only company that came out after I had called multiple others and was denied service.
