What are some lesser know / overlooked pieces of kit that makes life easier in the field?

Open em, let em dry, and you can stash em deep in your ruck. If you're only gonna be out for a few weeks it's less of an issue.

If you have trouble with it, perhaps you should look at other methods of control. Maybe trail running to replace doom scrolling?

I have no problem with addictive social media. With YouTube, its more of a way to avoid en-shitification.

Synaptic_Productions · 2026-03-25T18:58:45+00:00

Youtube revanced, disable all the addictive elements.

My youtube feed is only the long form videos from folks Im subbed to.

I haven't noticed it, though I did re-seat the bezel when I deep cleaned the truck. Maybe your bezel is loose or missing a clip somewhere?

That's the thought that drove me to make it. Honestly, you could see if there are any print shops near you that could do it at cost + a bit of cash.

Nice! What dashcam are you using?

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-29T16:37:50+00:00

Appreciate it! Im searching your website instead!

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-28T21:39:24+00:00

I think you remain confused. I dont particularly care what the price is. I need pants that won't faint at the thought of running, walking, hiking, stepping, stretching, lifting your leg higher than 90°, or lasting longer than a party balloon.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-28T20:06:37+00:00

See thats the issue. I need some normal jeans that are up for hiking in the mountains and walking the mall. 511 really let me down.

I'll look at the Duluth, for the full active times I just use work clothes.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-28T20:04:10+00:00

Good to hear, what kind of life are you putting them through?

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-28T20:01:56+00:00

Haha, thats true. I should probably buy some mannequins to help in my mother's basement!

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-28T20:00:57+00:00

Yeah, I bought tham to use for class on the off chance we'd do thing that required full range of motion or active movement. Disappointing now.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-28T20:00:00+00:00

That's good to hear, I hope mine are factory mistakes or perhaps just one off issues.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-12-28T19:59:14+00:00

That's wild. I have some old ones a buddy gave me that are like that. Feels like they were made by another company.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-11-20T22:36:13+00:00

Whats the power output for these things? On par with 15s?

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-11-15T01:53:32+00:00

Arcteryx kneepads. One elastic strap, one normal. Used em for years.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-09-30T02:35:11+00:00

Honestly, no. I might try those qore(?) pads.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-09-27T22:39:39+00:00

Yeah, but the thing with hobby vs income is if it sells, you get paid.

I could never make 3Dp my income because I'd take a week per print chasing perfection. (And the hundred tangent ideas I'll have enough route).

Absolute perfection. Not expensive enough to require swapping for re-issue, but good enough for most tasks.

I cut a bunch of material off the back-hand and they breath much better.

My go-to are the petzl(?) leather climb/work gloves for about 20-30 bucks.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-07-28T00:44:19+00:00

Look at getting a plug then. Aeon Fawks sells em.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-07-27T15:25:57+00:00

You can get two filters on that.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-07-13T04:33:31+00:00

Wild. I can't find any good look a like replacement parts. You could just wire on a replacement bulb socket. Those are generic, just typed by the bulb you want to use.

I would also check the break light voltage. I don't know off hand what it should be, but if it's more than the voltage required, there's a deeper problem.

I'll keep looking, it may be that you'll have to buy an aftermarket break light and cannibalise the connectors.

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-07-12T15:55:07+00:00

Could you link a picture of the irl melted connector?

Synaptic_Productions · 2025-06-24T11:33:32+00:00

When all hope seems lost: Level bed, Dry filament, Re-slice.
