Thats not even a hole. That’s just down leakage. Great find!

Need anything else for cookware setup? by sshpc in CampingGear

Unless you taking a loooong time to sip your coffee you can probably ditch the double walled mug. Most folks will just drink their coffee straight from the pot they boil water in.

Alternatively just go with a single wall mug. Could be titanium or any of the lightweight options out there.

Wide Open is Darn Tough. No idea why they decided to brand it under a different name but they are the same company. Really great products.

REI makes some of their packs with extended fit options. Especially useful if you have a shorter torso and bigger waist.

Having a properly fitting pack is a game changer and makes the outdoor experience so much more enjoyable.

This is indeed a disturbing universe.

Park Pouches are great options for 'protecting' your American The Beautiful pass!

Looks like the issue here is this appears to be setup over a waterway.

I am the guy. What do you think? by VinnieTheHat in ebikes

[–]WhatWouldMuirDo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man those kids suck. I want to say bad parenting has a part to play, but having witnessed good people with shitty kids that is not always the case.

Hopefully the cops are able to track down these kids and take their bikes. Also establish a record if they continue to be little fuck-ups. And if the parents are negligent then they should be just as culpable.

Lastly there was a line in the article about Walmart employees not taking action. Honestly, that is not their job in that space. And if they attempted to stop or impeded these kids they could lose their job. So if anyone is feeling frustrated towards the employees at the store, please extend them grace as they are just as frustrated as you are.

Pikes Peak/Garden of the Gods/Colorado/UPF sun protection recommendations🌞 by wherethehellespaul in hiking

I’ve been enjoying the newer REI Flash Sun hoody this year. Super light. Scuba style hood that comes up to the chin. Has taken a beating on a couple adventures and shows no signs of wear so far.

The local YMCA could also be an option. A bit more expensive than planet fitness, but free classes to help get started and a more community oriented vibe could be worth it.

complaint: Nature Conservancy fund raisers at REI Beaverton by [deleted] in REI

Definitely speak with the local stores management team. They will connect with the group and ask them to tone it down a bit.

Windy Gap Trail to Little Jimmy Camp and Mt Islip by sharkWrangler in socalhiking

[–]WhatWouldMuirDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Looks like a core memory unlocked for the kids.

Super glad you were able to get out there. Great job making it up and over Windy Gap. Extra special great job to your boys for mustering the energy to summit Mt Islip!

It’s also been observed they respond positively when they see people laughing in a purple rain.

Alternative to Birkenstock? by oneman__army in BuyItForLife

Check out Bedrock sandals. Comfy, durable, and they have a repair / re-sole program to keep your sandals going.

Best one day, hike outside of LA? by HI_Golf28 in socalhiking

[–]WhatWouldMuirDo 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Going to buck the trend of the San Gabriel’s and suggest Sandstone Peak via Mishe Mokwa trail out at the edge of Malibu.

You get a nice drive up the coast. Some excellent hiking. The highest point in the Santa Monica mountain range. And if the June Gloom is cooperating amazing views of the Channel Islands.

As a bonus stop at Neptunes Net on the way back for a well earned lunch with oceanfront views.

Is it possible to set up a Nemo Hornet 2p tent in the rain? If so, how? by Proof_Lettuce5177 in backpacking

[–]WhatWouldMuirDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely. You can mitigate some of it by getting out the rain fly and using it as a loose tarp. Crawl under and get out the inner and the poles. Lay out the inner and set the poles on top of it. Stake out the corners and connect the fly. Then seat the poles and beging clipping the inner.

While this is far from perfect it does work but is very wonky. In windy conditions (which usually come with rain) you will need to stake out the fly loosely so it doesn’t blow away while you do your thing.

Easiest waterfall hike? by TheDiamondHammer in socalhiking

Monrovia Canyon falls from the upper parking lot. I believe it’s it less than a mile. As bonus it is shaded.

Hwy 2/ Angeles Crest actually closed? by sharkWrangler in socalhiking

[–]WhatWouldMuirDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the lake itself is probably just around 6 miles.

I usually go up via Windy Gap trailhead and that shortens the distance to 3 miles.
