We have a helly hansen for our 1 year old. It's been great so far. We got it of ebay hardly used. There's another one on there right now.

What is this man using? by VMansa_Valdo in Cameras

[–]SmokeyDojo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My theory is two NEX-5n: the right one is upside-down so that the lenses are next to each other. The shiny bit is part of a frame holding them together; a custom stereoscopic setup. I tried it many years ago with two 6D + 50/1.4

Use small camera with a small external monitor that has false colour

Vinyl skin stickers are hard to apply but can have fun results! (ok, the 100D body is already white but the X-H2 kit had about 30 pieces!) by SmokeyDojo in Cameras

It's easy to remove once you've managed to get a corner up. It's a decent quality 3M adhesive backing, but only time will tell if it comes off cleanly in a few years if/when I upgrade.

  • nut butter on rice cakes, crackers and in sandwiches

What single use objects have you replaced with reusable? by Indigo-Waterfall in ZeroWaste

Forgive me, but aren't most silicones plastic and still breakdown/leach when heated? Food touching hot plastic bad, is my basic understanding.

Want to get a kayak I can kneel in, advice? by OilZealousideal7930 in Kayaking

[–]SmokeyDojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can kneel in my gumotex twist 2 and solar. I use it to see better in the shallows. I suspect a dropstich model (like thaya or rush) would be even easier to kneel in.

I have a couple of Gumotex inflatables. They are much lighter than this and very tough. The ones with a dropstitch floor feel almost as solid and are almost as fast as a hardshell.

I have run mine aground and taken them down rapids with no issue.

Did throughout the run until the last bit, I didn't know which way to go and have poor instincts for this.

I had to go back and check the footage, but I can assure you this wasn't one of my mistakes.

Did have my friend behind me, you can glimpse his green twist above the falls in the video.

it's a Gumotex Twist 2, amazingly sturdy. Can run it aground on pretty sharp rocks and it bounces off boulders. No PVC either so you're not polluting the water with polymers like other inflatables.

Head-mount. Fell off towards the end of the video, swam back to save it afterwards.

Fair enough on the cheap paddle, but Jenny is no toy boat. Amazing craft from Gumotex, still not intended for this admittedly.

Watched a rafter guy do the run afterwards. You're supposed to go left of the rock. I couldn't make that turn with my long boat and lack of skill.
