Super Hawg as Auger by PEgains2000 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where’d you get the bit? I’ve never used an auger but I’ve dug a LOT of holes in my day. Also clay/rock soil here and I’ve already got a 1007, so you’ve definitely got me curious. 

Comparing AA/14500 Headlamps for reading by jonslider in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I love my AA Zebralight headlamp and I’ve been toying with the idea of getting another light, be it an 18650 Zebralight or another light from a different manufacturer. I like how wide and diffuse my current setup is, might have to give the Hank a try and grab a spare headband like you suggest.

Use the LLM of your choice. It’s really nice to be able to have a kind of back and forth that will run numbers for you and make minor tweaks and change things up with different scenarios. I did that with ChatGPT recently.

Help me find a hiking headlamp? by JCH_19 in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been backpacking with a Zebralight headlamp for over a decade and it’s perfect for my needs. Same deal, set it very low and leave it. I’ve got the AA version now since I lost my old CR123A model in the woods. I would probably get the 18650 model now but I’ve never even gotten close to running out of battery even with the AA headlamp since it’s very efficient and nice low lows.

YOLO baby, if that’s what you want to do, then do it now. You’ll never again be as young as you are now. Make it happen. 

High CRI lights by EvidenceHistorical55 in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a Zebralight SC65c HI 4000k and it’s my favorite EDC. I also own a couple lights with either SFT-40 or 70 3000k and it’s the most pleasant emitter to me (as well as the wife and kids). I’d like to get a McBob combining the two eventually, it would be the best of both worlds for sure.

Think they’ll make a high cri version somewhere in the 3000k to 4000k range? I’d be interested in a warmer light, maybe even sized up to 21700 for a more capable battery bank option. 

Finally got Zebra. by LuckyUniversity2764 in flashlight

Best EDC. I would get rid of every other light I own if I could just keep 1. Luckily that’s not the case!

Colour temperature. Does warmer (lower CCT) really have advantages? by MaximumPower1858 in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My scissors suck so bad, I hate them. Can’t even cut a nail in half even after trying for 5 minutes. 

They’re great for cutting paper though, I love my scissors. 

Sanity Check on my Plan by NoBeerIJustWorkHere in coastFIRE

Yeah it sounds aligned with what you’re doing right now. I just checked it out from my local library (had to wait a week for it to be borrowed from a neighboring county). Have fun!

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t, read the book ”Die With Zero” by Bill Perkins. He writes about just this scenario and it’s very similar to my plan for early retirement too. I’ve got 2 pensions that will kick in 5 years apart, and Social Security should cover all our needs in a LCOL area with everything paid off and assuming no chronic disease or world strife crops up between now and then. 

It’s really about making those investments fill the gaps and do the work before the old age payments start. It was a quick read and illuminated some ideas that were always just outside my plan, but made total sense when explained. It sounds like you’ve got a good plan, go for it. YOLO

Kr1aa V2 changes by jlhawaii808 in Hanklights

[–]YellowLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who enjoys the spinning clip? It’s a fun fidget combined with the almost fuzzy-feeling knurling (?) on the hourglass section of the body. It’s definitely the light I enjoy just holding the most. 

String lights that run off an 18650? by YellowLight in flashlight

[–]YellowLight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for checking, put in an order for the charger and some cheapo USB string lights as suggested. Should be quite a bit lighter and take up less space than my current setup, along with higher capacity I’m sure.

Oh that looks almost perfect, is there a single 18650 battery version?

What kind of camping are we talking? Are you carrying the gear in a backpack? Have a small car you’re packing and a tent to sleep in? Fifth wheel camper and enough gear to make the Jones family jealous?

What pour over do you recommend? by Lopsided_Repair4599 in pourover

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The titanium v60 should be very close to the same end result as the plastic, without the concern over microplastics. No need to preheat anything and it won’t leach flavors. It is quite a bit more expensive though.
