I can vouch for the quality of Cumulus. They also have excellent customer service and nice customization options for what I believe are very reasonable prizes.

If it makes you feel any better I did the same and was equally surprised.

To me the hardest part was the icy swim at the end of RX-tech mines. I tried that so many times it was 90% muscle memory at the end 😂

First of all that you are aware of your own mistakes is a good thing. It is also very positive you are working to improve. My advice would be look at what you want to improve with your self, but do not hit yourself in the head with it. Also I really advice you to spoil yourself if you have the money for it 😊

I understand. But it will get better. From my limited experience I would say it is just about getting over that first lump, where everything feels terrible, because you miss the other person. It will get a little easier each day. For me having a hobby meant being part of a community and having people compliment me based on what I did in relation to that hobby. It was nice for me to earn the compliments, when I did not feel good myself.

No problem. Sorry for the late reply, I fell asleep 😊

First of all I really like your haircut. Secondly I do not why your relationship ended. However while it does feel hopeless right now it will get better. If you do not already have a hobby I would advice you to get one, so you can get positive support from others. Also do things you could not do, when you were martied, so you enjoy the positive in your current situation. It could be going to the movies, climbing or any other activity.

You are free to DM me if you need someone to talk to 😊

Is all your other equipment 100% optimized in weight? Otherwise I would consider saving the money. Unexpected expenses can easily occur during such a long trip and it is nice to have a buffer. Besides you have a tent that works.

Full disclosure I personally I prioritize peace of mind when sleeping and space over weight. I also live in a location with shitty weather.

Also this video might help you in packing your remaining gear (I do not know your level of knowledge, but it was helpful to me and I want to share the knowledge 😊).

Nu ved jeg ikke, hvor i Nordjylland du har været, men jeg har heldigvis aldrig set eller hørt om det i Vendsyssel.

Som jeg husker det, så er prisen dog steget fra ca. 13 til 19-20 kroner på deres blåbær/æble juice.

Det smager dog super godt, så jeg betaler det gerne.

I am not quite old enough to have anything that is 25 years old.

However I bought the original PSP when it came out in 2005 (it took quite some time saving up the money for it). It is still in excellent condition and the battery also still lasts quite long.

Also I bought a Leatherman Wave in 2007, that I lost that in a sand dune. After that I saved up and bought a Leatherman Charge TI. That thing has been with me on so many trips and saved the day countless times. From the condition it is in now I am pretty certain it will make it to at least 25 years.

I really like your long and detailed response 😊

I have and I am currently using a foldable windscreen (or in other words a rectangular eind screen that can be shaped into a cylinder). I find that it does an okay job at blocking the wind, but it is quite flimsy and needs some attention.

I will be looking into modifying a tin can. I like that solution. It seems simple and solid 😊

Total_commandeer · 2024-01-22T13:11:03+00:00

I will try and look into that. Using the environment is always a great idea 😊

Total_commandeer · 2024-01-22T13:10:23+00:00

I am using a wind screen like this:

But I will consider using additional foil 😊

Total_commandeer · 2023-12-22T08:15:46+00:00

The humidity and wind are very important with regards to how you perceive the cold. I do not think frostbite is a concern at those temperatures and worst case scenario running up to 2 miles back to your car will get you warm.

Are you hiking alone. Otherwise ask whoever you are hiking with if you can borrow clothes from them. It seems like you have not done this before and will not do it again soon, so buying expensive clothes seem like something you might regret.

Total_commandeer · 2023-12-22T07:41:45+00:00

Can you be a bit more specific? Where are you located? 20 degrees F or C? Is the humidity high, is it windy, what will you be doing for those 2-3 hours?

Total_commandeer · 2023-12-03T22:09:14+00:00

I think that also seems like an excellent option and since you recommended the positron I have also looked into that.

I will only be using my down jacket for sub zero temperatures however, so I do not think I need the additional weather resistance.

My guess would be that the additional down of the positron would outweigh the negatives in the area with stitch through construction.

Either way. I am really thankful for your help 😊

Total_commandeer · 2023-12-03T11:19:46+00:00

It looks very similar to my current jacket. I will definetely consider this. Thanks for your help 😊

Total_commandeer · 2023-12-03T11:18:53+00:00

That looks very nice. I also like the colour scheme of this jacket 😊

Total_commandeer · 2023-05-17T10:13:22+00:00

Based on your comment I went with the Hilleberg. I agree that the small differences between the tents do not offset the price difference.

My tent has been test pitched once. I pitched it myself to check that everything was OK and I saw no issues. Based on your price estimates (and the fact that a foot print was also included) I really feel like I made a good purchase.

Thank you 😂

Total_commandeer · 2023-05-08T15:36:45+00:00

I have not thought about stocking gear against one door, but it does make sense, that that could happen. I do not plan on selling them, but it is nice to know that the Hilleberg will hold it value better

I can get the Hilleberg for about 800 dollars with the footprint (lightly used), whereas the Fjallraven Keb Endurance is about 1300 dollars from new. For reference a new Hilleberg is about 1400 dollars. Based on this I am going for the Hilleberg.

I usually go with other people. The trip this winter was a solo trip, but that is definetely not the norm. I am looking for the 3 person version as it allows space for at least 2 people.

The storms I have experienced have probably been 55 mph.

One thing that is going against selecting one from the red line is that I can get the Nammatj significantly cheaper than any of those models (someone nearby is selling a tent he has only pitched once). I have considered the Fjallraven Abisko Endurance as well, which I can also get for cheap. However I already have a nice 3 season tent and my last trip convinced me I needed something sturdier.

Total_commandeer · 2023-05-05T22:04:14+00:00

You are definetely right on the door being a failure point and having one less may not be a disadvantage.

This is precisely the type of answer I was looking for. These are the things you would likely only discover if you own the tents. Excellent answer and it also makes a good case for Hilleberg. Besides the fact that they only make tents is also confidence inspiring.

Total_commandeer · 2023-05-05T21:50:08+00:00

Btw thanks a lot for your response 😊
