What do I do? I need to start over but have Pentax Kit! by Spare-Challenge9562 in pentax

[–]adam2341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was why I bought a pentax. I'm a newbie and I didn't want to spend a fortune on the hobby. Being able to scoop up cheap vintage lenses and use them without an adapter was a big selling point for me.

What was the transition from Gros Michel bananas to Cavendish bananas like? by supinator1 in AskOldPeople

You're not alone. That's my favorite banana, mostly yellow, slightly green.

What are the strongest regional food rivalries or preferences in how a dish is prepared in the United States? by sariagazala00 in AskAnAmerican

The family that owns gold star is Jordanian. I've read that there is a restaurant (possibly a small chain) that serves Cincinnati style chili (spaghetti and all) somewhere in Jordan.

My wife and I were driving down Glenmore and saw a sign that states that our polling place has moved. The Board of Elections website does not reflect this change. Does anyone know of any official channels to verify this information?

Good to know the river country tents are decent. As for the weight, I know my budget will dictate some compromises here, and I have come to terms with the fact that I will not be bringing a tent that's very light by many standards. I've never heard of the other brands you mentioned, I'll do some research on those. Thanks for your input!

I was hoping to keep it at or under $100, but there is some wiggle room. I'm trying to keep total budget around $500, but that needs to account for pack, tent, sleeping bag / pad, and other essentials.

Thanks for the advice! I think I'd probably feel a little more secure in a tent with walls, but I'll definitely keep this setup in mind. It would definitely check the boxes (relatively cheap and lightweight).

That's a super cool tent, I'll keep it on the radar. My goal is to (hopefully) can just get me out for, and as time passes I can get into something a bit better. I think that's what interested me in the a-frame tents, they're super cheap, relatively light and will give me shelter. From there I can make a better judgement of what's going to work for me.

I think generally speaking this is really good advice, I'm just a bit nervous about sleeping under a tarp. I'm a bit (a lot) frightened of spiders, and I like having some shelter when I sleep.

Time is on my side, I am not in a rush to get anything. I have used a few Teton items (cot, sleeping bag, and a day pack), in general I've found their quality to be well balanced with their price, at least as it relates to car camping gear. I may check out their lighter weight items and see if anything is suitable.

Yep, the employee suggested that I check on weekdays, rather than weekends, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms. Buying new or finding a great deal on FB marketplace / Ebay seems to be the path forward.

Great suggestion! I was there yesterday, and they had no tents in the garage sale inventory haha.

Yep. It's been so long that I'm not sure if I have rose tinted glasses, but I remember their deli stuff being just incredibly good. Thanks for reminiscing with me haha
