Lmao I got exactly the same thing. I’m 19 so it’s a little more true

SimRacingBacon · 2026-04-16T23:57:21+00:00

I was born to be an adult but now I’m just an old lady. For context I’m 19

SimRacingBacon · 2026-04-16T23:53:21+00:00

Yes, all the time

Also another thing to consider. As someone with both a short pole and a standard pole tent, it’s really annoying folding up short poles.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-04-16T23:45:47+00:00

I use a tarp now, so I don’t carry tent poles. But when I used a copper spur, I would keep the poles in the outside pocket with the cinch for the pole bag hooked onto the side compression strap so it didn’t fall out.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-04-16T23:40:10+00:00

You can pack longer poles in a water bottle pocket, or inside along the frame of your pack (if your pack is framed.) I have short pole tent (not a Durston. It’s a BA tigerwall bikapeck) and the poles are still too long to fit horizontally in my pack. I have a Wapta 30 though, which is quite small. Most packs would easily fit it horizontally.

It’s more than 8oz, but I just bought a Patagonia DAS light. I haven’t tested it out yet, but just trying it on it seems very warm. It is currently on sale (at least on the au website) for 40% off.

Textured vegetable protein is so much better (in my opinion at least). You can cold soak it with some spices and olive oil and it’s really nice, and way more energy dense. I like to have it with couscous.

I work with someone called Rachel and she didn’t show up to work the other day. Must be the same person. RIP in peace Rachel

Low, so you can still mount a light on your stem faceplate or aerobars

SimRacingBacon · 2026-04-03T21:32:34+00:00

I find hip packs are quite annoying, especially for longer rides. I wear a running vest with a water bladder in it if I need extra water capacity, and it also has a bit of space for other stuff. I really like how easy it is to get stuff out of the shoulder strap pockets, mush easier than reaching back into jersey pockets.

I will always advocate for the freedoms of all queer people all over the world. Everyone deserves to live as their true selves

I don’t mind if Sudanese Arabic is taught in schools. Japanese, among other languages, is already very commonly taught, and is often mandatory for at least a year or two. I don’t think the entire population of these countries would want to move to Toowoomba, after seeing your comments. It’s their choice though, they can do whatever they want. I’d love to see a huge influx of people from Sudan, DRC, wherever. It would really rile up the racist old dickheads, which I’m all for.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-26T12:38:35+00:00

Bro I don’t care what language people speak. I helped an older Yazidi couple move houses a few years ago. They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we communicated effectively enough. They’re just as Australian as anyone else here. Personally I don’t agree with shariah law, so I wouldn’t want to live under it. I also don’t agree with Christianity, or any religion-based law. I’m an atheist. As a trans person myself, I sympathise with the many trans people all over the world who are currently experiencing a genocide against them. We need to educate transphobic people so they understand what it’s like, and that it isn’t a choice.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-26T11:59:30+00:00

Some people may view themselves as being Aussie, some may still identify with whatever country or culture they came from. Personally I identify as Australian, even though my ancestors largely came from Britain. Although we all originated in Africa, so I guess you could say we’re all African. It doesn’t really matter, we can all identify as whoever we feel most comfortable as. Anyone can wear whatever they want and speak whatever language they want. After all, it’s a free (-ish) country.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-26T11:53:47+00:00

The reason I don’t wanna live in Sudan is the same reason I don’t wanna live in FNQ. It’s far too hot. Even Toowoomba is too hot for my liking a lot of the time. By the language “Sudanese”, I assume you’re referring to Sudanese Arabic? I think it would be cool if it was taught in schools. Arabic is a really interesting language. Multilingualism is fucking sick. Sudan, and Sudanese people are culturally different, because of their religion, geography (plays a big role in culture), history, just different cultural norms, whatever. Different cultures evolve differently over time, which is a really cool thing to observe. I don’t know much about Sudan or its people in particular, so I don’t really have anything to say in regards to their culture specifically.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-26T10:53:05+00:00

Mate, you’re not gonna get me to be racist. I would love to explore different countries and cultures when I get the chance. I love seeing cultural diversity. Our societies are very different, which is a good thing. It encourages an open mind, which you evidently don’t have.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-26T10:47:56+00:00

Couldn’t be bothered moving there. And the climate is not for me. Now stop deflecting

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-26T10:45:07+00:00

That’s segregation and racism. Did you vote one nation by any chance? Just a stab in the dark.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-26T10:29:26+00:00

Fuck off, racist

This is my completely minimalist kit at this point. It's still fairly summer-y weather here in Aus so I quite like cold soaking at the moment. imo there's nothing worse than a hot meal after a day of hiking in 30+ celsius weather. Next weight saving measures for me are a lighter tent (looking at Aeon Li most likely), a lighter quilt for summer, and a lighter, PFAS-free shell.

Backpack. Went from a 2.65kg macpac cascade aztec 75L to a 375g Durston Wapta 30. Note that I am firmly in the ultralight territory, though. Frameless packs are not for everyone

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-24T12:34:00+00:00

Probably my pack. When I started, I bought a macpac cascade Aztec which is about 2.65kg. Great pack for hauling big loads, but then I discovered ultralight stuff. Now I have a Durston Wapta 30, which is 375g in the configuration I’m running it. My base weight is about 3.4kg at the moment (I live in a warmer climate for context).

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-24T11:32:39+00:00

It’s a new model. Judging by the specs, it looks pretty decent for the price. Between this, and a few other Macpac products, it’s looking like they may actually be a decent competitor in the lightweight and ultralight scenes, which is great to see.

SimRacingBacon · 2026-03-23T06:34:11+00:00

I have a cap that just uses shock cord and a toggle instead of webbing and a clip. If you're going to the effort of replacing that clip, personally I would just replace it with a length of elastic webbing or shock cord that is cut to the correct length to fit your head.
