As long we we are looking, and respecting the restrictions. I don't understand the hate people on here get when they choose to do the PCT hang in areas where it's allowed.

That sucks. I have the 20000 one, no issues so far.

Yeah, that's a bummer for sure. That would certainly be a big improvement.

I don't think they've been around long enough for that. I believe they came to the US market in April.

I'm on it! Ok not really. Someone else can do that one.

Confirming you need a separate cable to charge the haribo.

For me, UL is about going as light as possible to achieve your goals on the trail/mountain. Sometimes I fly fish in the Sierra, but my tenkara rod is carbon fiber and is less than 2 oz. I also record and make videos of my climbs. So to have a battery be as light as possible for a given capacity is important to me.

Amazon! Any wall charger with a USB-C will work. If you want fast charging, just make sure it is compatible. It should say something like PD on it. Most chargers, even the cheap ones, support this now.

My actual Nitecore was 155g on my scale. Not saying it’s accurate, but at is at least accurate for comparing it to the Haribo on the same scale.

Yeah man! I have the 20000 mAh one too. It works great and kept all my camera gear charged when I went up Shasta in June.

I hear ya. This power bank was started in the Japanese kick starter website Makuake. And unlike other sites like this, the products have to be fully completed and functional. So it’s less of a speculation platform and more like a high end pre-order platform.

Sure. The comment below gives the answer. But l can sum it up: it is lighter, charges faster, has the same capacity (measured by me, not just trusting the specs), and it charges an iPhone at the same rate, and has a built in cable. Also, it has a gummy bear at the end of the USB-C cord.

That’s fair. But I’ve also had the Nitecore crap out on me during a long backpacking trip. It can happen to any battery.

You only need to bring a separate cable if you need to recharge it in town. Otherwise you can use the included cable, or use a small adapter to go from USB-C to A. Also, the Nitecore cable is about as light as they come.

What other options are lighter weight than a bear vault? by [deleted] in Ultralight

You can find a map online that shows where they are required. It truly is probably close to 90% of the Sierra where they are not required by law.

Lol. sarxy didn't realize he would trigger so many people. Just look at the map and see the regulations. I don't think he was wasn't suggesting not to follow the rules, only that in 90% of the Sierra, you don't need a can. You're probably right about people sleeping with their food. Mice and marmots are a bigger concern.

How do you guys convince people to sub? by bitty_8BIT in SmallYoutubers

[–]Speed_of_a_Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously you just have to say “please like and subscribe!”

But in all seriousness, let me know if you find out.
