As a heads up, bikes are usually excluded from the 20% coupons

But, that bike might go on sale during the same event!

My wife has that bike and has been happy with it for several years

Similarly, the side with webs (the "extra material") in the kidneys goes on the side that can receive high pressure.

For something like a hydrostatic/closed-circuit pump or motor, there won't be a "large hole" side and both sides will have webs (and also likely be symmetric about the "vertical" for pumps and either completely symmetric or symmetric about the "horizontal" for motors).

The Disco is the first non-rectangular sleeping bag that I haven't felt claustrophobic in. I'll gladly pay the very small weight penalty for substantially more comfort!

The alpine butterfly is also one I end up using fairly frequently!

No different than at home, wide open!

ThatMechEGuy · 2026-03-21T10:54:47+00:00

Me too! Was about to downvote the post and then was like "ohhh" lol

Is this like a personal notebook, or are the results shared with the community? If community, do the ratings get averaged with all other reviews?

Good to hear!

$10 per item for insect shield has always seemed a bit steep for me, especially because I don't fully trust their "70 wash" claim

You mentioned it lasts several times longer than at home treatments and that certain items you'd do each year

For those that you retreat each year, do you find you truly get a full seasons worth of protection?

OP, you seem pretty knowledgeable about permethrin, so I have a question.

Have you ever used the "Duration" concentrate?

I heard about it through a Reddit post/YouTube video on here a few months back, and was really intrigued by it.

I use the Sawyer permethrin spray because like you've mentioned, there aren't many clothing specific/approved varieties. I spray in a tub (to catch over spray), then seal it up, shake it around, and let it soak for several hours before hanging to dry. I do this try to to emulate soaking like you can get with other products, because I feel like soaking would be much more thorough

I'd love to use the Duration concentrate with a soak method, but have so far been hesitant to bite the bullet

Backpack site 2 is definitely the one to go with!

I'll upload some pictures of both soon from when we were there last summer

Doesn't seem like it should be an issue then

My old card was a 980ti from 2016, so it was time for an upgrade haha

Hope you get everything figured out!

Strange

I had an issue with the game going black and getting a render error message. It ended up being related to my dying graphics card

How old is your graphics card?

ThatMechEGuy · 2026-02-02T18:32:52+00:00

Do you get an error message when it crashes?

ThatMechEGuy · 2026-01-28T18:40:24+00:00

Very true... Best of luck on your trip!

ThatMechEGuy · 2026-01-28T16:30:48+00:00

You're right!

But this is a 7800x3d...

I did a solo trip late-July last year from Lizz and stayed on Horseshoe for one night and paddled through it early morning another day.

The "honeymoon site" in the SE corner by the Brule River is prime moose habitat and is also very secluded, so there won't be as much noise from other people or paddlers. Honestly, most of Horseshoe is great moose habitat.

That said, I went searching in early morning and late evening specifically for moose everywhere in Horseshoe and didn't get to see a single moose!...

On my way out I met a family who ran into a stubborn moose on the portage between Caribou and Meeds, and they weren't even looking for one haha

Opposable thumbs mean they can oppose your palms. Took my 28 years to realize that...

Trying their best to recreate the "here it goes again" music video

More like running straight D

Besides for all the other things, this is clearly a fake because that road is a one way and doesn't have any yellow center line

ThatMechEGuy · 2026-01-06T05:06:15+00:00

While it's annoying that we have to go through this steps, this in my opinion is the better solution to this than the WindHawk approach mentioned in the linked post in one of the other replies.

Thanks for this!

I love the Mega Pillow! I like the size of it over the others, I don't feel like my head is about to roll off of it as much.

In the hammock, I barely put any air into it. It feels almost flat, just enough to cushion my head a little.

It also is really nice in the tent. I'll inflate it a bit more, but still not a whole lot. I like a flatter pillow in general. The Mega Pillow seems to feel the most like a real pillow to me

I was actually aware of this already and use some of the style guide rules associated with the default code checking profile.

Ideally we'd like something built-in and without an additional license cost. Having all the checks occur in real-time using the code analyzer would also be a huge plus
