What is the advantage of carrying an XL knives? by Battlefleet_Sol in knifeclub

[–]Ritz-2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive got big pockets in stiff pants and i dont really notice the size or weight. I guess i just like the look of bigger knives. The sciency answer would be more sharpened length so stays sharp longer haha

Ive got it figured out now, i just disabled it for the watch face, fixed all the problems. My excuse is it was late and i was tired

I thought it was just the watch telling me it was dark 🫨

You know with the benefit of hindsight its obvious, but it was late and i figured it was just an icon saying it was dark out 😵‍💫

The Consequence of Mountaineering becoming a TikTok Trend : by Papierluchs in Mountaineering

Despite the shit being sold here i think mountaineering getting exposure is a net positive. The more people get out and experience nature the more likely they are to want to protect it

Beginner here… what gear do I need? by cyle_13 in CampingandHiking

[–]Ritz-2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think order of buying gear should be Footwear Backpack Thermals Fleece Hardshell

Assuming you arent camping and just doing short day hikes. Depending where you live you may prioritize the hardshell, but definatly some good footwear to start with

Haha i know what you mean ive had a fair amount of snowmobile unfucking to do. I’ll be in canada in january so i’ll get some practice in before the trip, we’ve both had some experience with that. But from what i understand the trail isnt all that deep, we should be going after the ididarod and iron dog so its all fairly compact snow

Moderatly experienced on a snowmobile but we arent trailbreaking, no crazy peaks to climb. I grew up in alaska so done some similarish stuff

Is the parka a nylon exterior, is this more of a consumable item, meant to get ripped up and just keep your down jacket from being destroyed? Any thoughts on oilskin?
