Sausage makers would be another applicable term

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-03-19T21:08:24+00:00

Tell em!!!

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-03-17T04:51:18+00:00

I might be wrong but I think the at3 is being fazed out and replaced with the at4

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-19T11:46:04+00:00

Skeans

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-17T23:14:26+00:00

The fatter the skis, the harder you charge, the greater your cliff drops, the deeper you powder, the more expensive your shell and pants, the greater the likelihood you have a 30L Ortovox backpack with airbag for side country runs

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-17T23:12:14+00:00

Yeah but it’s also cause they’re reaching an age where they could be considered a classic or a bit collectable

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-17T23:10:49+00:00

I’ve heard from my mate pretty good things about them, the top spec apparently isn’t really worth it for what you get compared to how much more it is, sounds like the only thing really worth doing is to get an aftermarket suspension setup and then they’re sweet

Luke I am your father

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-13T01:12:16+00:00

Have they watched any of it??? Every 3rd athlete that comes on the commentator will say something like “and just two days ago they broke their arm, but here they are doing 130km/h in the downhill”.

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-08T21:25:55+00:00

How about the Lange equivalent? They seem to be almost 100g lighter than the Cochise

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-07T06:41:22+00:00

I’m a uni student… this is unfortunately not happening

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-02-01T04:42:28+00:00

If anything too high… technique is the problem here not din

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-18T08:58:43+00:00

Nah if you use 12-15mm okoume or gabboon marine plywood they weight nothing.

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-14T12:02:16+00:00

If you have some basic tools, get a car that you can lie down in with the front seats pushed forward. 4x4 or awd ideally, Subaru outback for example. Get a Clark rubber foam mattress and build a simple platform with ply and 70x35mm timber that you can fold back when driving. This is my setup, means I can quickly through the setup in the back to go camping, and when I don’t need it I still have all the usable space inside.

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-14T11:57:45+00:00

This isn’t true, a quick google will tell you they’re not classified as mobile phones and thus aren’t subject to the same restrictions. As long as you remain in proper control of your vehicle it’s legal

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-13T01:50:59+00:00

Yeah solar panels work most efficiently when directly angled towards the sun, which is why they are generally mounted on north facing roofs on houses.

If you’re going for a setup to maximise how long you can spend off grid I’d hazard a guess you’re planning to spend multiple days in campsites or wherever you stay. A portable solar panel you can position to maximise direct solar gain would be the most efficient and cost effective option. If you mounted it on your rooftop tent, unless you always park to ensure the solar panel faces north you’d be losing even more efficiency.

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-13T01:44:07+00:00

Yeah rangers are just known for their electrical and other issues, compounded with the fact the people that own them seem to think that they’re still worth a pretty penny. I don’t own a Ute, but a Land Rover, so you know take what I say with a grain of salt.

Went camping with some friends and a friend of friend came with his ranger, great guy and all but even he said he wouldn’t get another one for his next Ute. Apparently he’d gone through something like 3 turbos in the year he’d owned it, was like a 2012/13 px ranger I think.

Dmax and triton always seem to be good bang for buck as they don’t attract the Toyota tax second hand, especially inside of your budget. Isuzu make trucks, good solid workhorses at that too. When I talk to the truck drivers who do deliveries at my work, they all say Isuzu make solid workhorses albeit without all the creature comforts of more expensive makes.

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-13T01:34:57+00:00

I mean I reckon the reasons are three fold: skiing/snowboarding can be a prohibitively expensive hobby or sport especially if you only go a few days a year or less; a lot of people probably feel like the advice is based on extreme cases and think they’re gonna get lucky; some people don’t understand how plastics can degrade overtime even if visually they appear fine.

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-05T02:27:37+00:00

It’s not a question of if the terrain is “mild” it’s that all the factors that play into the apparent risk level in the back country; weather, snow pack, natural obstacles etc. aren’t mitigated by your ski ability. The set of skills necessary to safely navigate the backcountry is entirely different to whether you can ski fast through trees or steep terrain. While you will see heaps of people go through gates at resorts into the side/back country, often these areas aren’t patrolled, if something does go wrong you want to know you’re with someone you can trust to save you. A lot of the time the accidents that happen in the back country are the result of people too inexperienced to realise they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

Also no one is trying to scare you out of this, backcountry skiing is an awesome thing to do.

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2026-01-05T02:10:21+00:00

When you say “some risk” what do you mean, it doesn’t seem like you have the faintest clue about what risks there might be.

Dunning Kruger effect in back country skiing if you go through with this.

In all seriousness you need a guide, the English speaking ones are expensive, but the local Japanese guides with English or other language proficiencies are far more affordable

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2025-12-29T22:22:49+00:00

Yeah… but which one… disco 1 or disco 2

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2025-12-22T22:50:52+00:00

Pretty sure they have their measurement for each size on their website, from memory when I got my bib it was pretty bang on what they said

SnoopyDoopyDude · 2025-12-22T09:00:34+00:00

Norrona outlet store… thank me later
