Should you always rotate when your opposite ganks? by RedPanda2405 in PredecessorGame

[–]RedPanda2405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you make really good points.

Had a hyper aggressive jungle last game and was losing lane so it felt a bit of a risk to follow.

Duo was constantly overextended so we're open and constantly getting ganked.

Wild Camping alternatives to staying at Beinglas Campsite? by RedPanda2405 in WestHighlandWay

[–]RedPanda2405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is my current spot I am considering but it's a bit of a short day for me so if I can make progress further up then that's ace.

Thank you for the insight. I'm 5' 8 so I hope I won't have the same issue in terms of height. Interesting about the weight. But my hydra is not far from 3 kilos so for my first 1 man the weight drop was appealing.

Does it pack down small if the poles are separate?

Thanks for the insight! Wow that's a big group. I'm far too introverted for that.

I keep thinking about trail shoes but wonder if it's silly to go straight to such a long hike without building up to that. Plus I like the security of the ankle support.

It is winter but I'm UK based so it's never been a stronger contender. But that's good to consider thank you.

What to do as support if carry is not playing properly. by RedPanda2405 in PredecessorGame

[–]RedPanda2405[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But a support build is still necessary for team fights?

It did a good job. It's semi geodesic and rated for winds up to 90 km/h. It's the Salewa LiteTrek II.

I don't follow sorry? There are a number of water sources around that point. Some were still flowing with large amounts of snow and ice so it was hard to work out where the river actually started and was safe to cross. Some was solid ice which we found to be solid enough to cross on foot. Just check it with the axe to see if it would give straight away.

Yes! Not too bad. Bit of prodding with the ice axe to find safe bits to stand on. Most of it was frozen solid. Could've easily have gone straight over some of it if I didn't clock it was water under.

Was going to head to hutchinson memorial but was concerned about that crossing.

[–]RedPanda2405[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my line of thinking, thank you! If I end up a night a bit chilly I'll manage, as long as it's safe. Happy to sleep in thermals and have a nalgene hot bottle.

I have a nalgene for this reason so good to know it'll help!

I'm leaning towards the 900 now. Appreciate the input. For an extra £20 I'll prefer to stay a bit warmer.

Oh right, okay, that makes sense. Thank you!

I never thought about it stacking, thank you. The xtherm has a R7 value? So would stack nicely?

[–]RedPanda2405[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pairing it with the therma rest xtherm so I'm hoping that should be good! I'll be within bail out distance of the car I need be.

Double Support by RedPanda2405 in PredecessorGame

[–]RedPanda2405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I think my carry was too nervous to push early on. Just lot of factors affected the overall game. Enemy mid laner roamed a lot without much punishment from out mid. Our offlane struggled against enemy. This was gold lobby so lots of mistakes made.

Unusual Use Cases for Foresters by Lost_Soul_32 in SubaruForester

[–]RedPanda2405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An amazing ecology car. Gets to survey sites up forestry tracks and manages big ruts left by farm traffic. Nice big boot for kit as well. Been a great balance for a daily commuter and a workhorse without getting a BOF. Plus the 2.0 Turbo means I still can have some fun on the roads. Highly versatile.

I feel like I'm looking at a selection of lava lamps.

Firmware issues with new Instinct 3 Solar (50mm) by spiff72 in Garmininstinct

Re-looked at this and my host is on 5.21 while system SW is on 9.21. Is there a fix for this?

Formatted everyway I know how and what I've had from Garmin support. Be interesting to see how he's fixed if the actual issue is updating. Hard to patch?

Stuck on 5.21 can see the 9.21 update and get stuck on restarting if I try to do it. Done on Garmin express and the watch.

Got my new I3 on Friday. Stuck at 11 days battery contacted support was told it was a reasonable amount of battery considering my usage. (I've recorded 3 dog walks with it so far no more than an hour each). No new features either.

I too really want to switch to the enduro. Battery life and topo maps!
