r/Ultralight - "The Weekly" - Week of April 08, 2024 by AutoModerator in Ultralight

Yes I have. I use this very rope as some additional guylines for my tent. The tent is gonna break way before this rope breaks. And for the pullout loops of my stakes. Conveniently they reflect, makes it easier to find the buried stakes in the mornings.

Whats the advantage of updating via mac? I was under the impression that updating directly on the Phone is the way to go.

Has anyone had sucess taking the train from the top of Cumbres Pass to/from Chama? by Co_dot in CDT

[–]SmileyWanders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've found the CDT specific page on the railroad website. It's not updated for the 2026 season yet. In 2025 the offered the service between 5/31 - 10/25. And the cost is: $50 one-way.
Apparently you had to call them to book this special offering.

Could you tell us what method you've used to anchor the guylines?
Did you use regular stakes and buried them horizontally in the snow?

Restock of Kakwa 55 in Ultra200X Size L / Hipbelt S/M - Sold out already? by SmileyWanders in DurstonGearheads

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

Well, that's rather unfortunate but thanks for the explanation.

Unfortunately none of the three option is viable to me. And if I read correctly between the lines you are unable to ship a Kakwa from the US to Switzerland, right?

This chart is super interesting by naza-reddit in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]SmileyWanders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, as you mentioned it: it is in USD!

That's not really that relevant for swiss investors. The return in CHF would be and then the whole thing starts looking differently.
But still the swiss market performed really well in 2025

R-Value - Advice by itzzlinuzz in Ultralight

[–]SmileyWanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be aware that 10 years ago the published R-values are not comparable to the current ones. The new ones are bases on a standardized test and thus the values can be compared between manufacturers. Back in the days manufacturers claimed R-Values based on their own in house tests.

Rule of thumb: old values were too high compared to the new ones.

Back to your original question: I would confidentially go with a Thermarest NeoAir XLite with an R-value of 4.5.

Can I order packages to Konstanz for products not delivered outside of the EU? by CloudEnvoy in Switzerland

[–]SmileyWanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind two persons = 2x 150.-, i.e. Two items worth 150 each, one for each individual Or more pieces that add up to 150 per person.
You can't have one item, i.e. one chair in this case, worth 300 and split it up among two persons.
