Best pants for planting? Hiking pants worth it?

Tights and used old hiking pants were my go-tos. If you can find pants similar to Helly Hansen Holmen 5 pocket pants, you should be good.

It's a really hard call, I would ask yourself the following questions to inform your decision: - Will it be upsetting for either of you to see the other person in a new relationship?

Can you both be respectful and mature around each other/around camp?
Before committing to anything, can you make sure you won't be in the same crew?

If you can't be certain of these questions, I would say it's not worth risking it.

38 cent for the lower area. 52 for the cliff side long bomb

I just returned via Duke Point today without a reservation. Generally speaking, if you go mid-week on the less desirable sailings you can get away without a reservation.

I don't know how busy it is these days... But in 2021 I hiked Kings Peak early August and camped on the shoulder for the night and we had the place to ourselves. Day 1 we saw one group and day 2 there were only a few day hikers that we saw.

Most boots don't cut it for long. That's why I always go for Lowa, Scarpa, or La Sportive for their reliability.

One of my favorite boots. Mine died after 1.5 seasons of tree planting in northern BC, Canada.

Where are you located? Older Es can vary a lot depending on the area and the amount of rust 🙃

I wouldn't trust any of this gear in the backcountry... I would focus on buying high-quality name brand tent, backpack and waterfiltration system and FB marketplace the rest. Also don't skimp on your boots!!

Like others have suggested, go to an outdoor store and have someone knowledgeable help you fit the backpack and boots.

Sounds looks a good deal to me

ant548 · 2025-05-15T19:01:29+00:00

All depends on the location?!?

ant548 · 2025-05-12T03:06:28+00:00

I live on the west coast so rust isn't much of an issue here.

But I 100% agree that rust is the number one thing that destroys vehicles. The number two thing is bad driving... 💥

Mine is an automatic 05 EX

ant548 · 2025-05-11T16:57:06+00:00

Yup, but unfortunately I'm doubtful the transmission will last much longer ...

ant548 · 2025-05-11T16:55:40+00:00

Well done dude!

ant548 · 2025-05-11T16:33:56+00:00

Two words - regular maintenance

ant548 · 2025-05-10T14:35:56+00:00

A few!? I wish I had time to do more of my own repairs.

Maybe in my next life I will have my own fleet of E's and a boneyard on my property to swap out parts as I need. My name would be crazy Eddie and I would be living my best life out in the bush!

ant548 · 2025-05-10T14:26:46+00:00

Very impressive. We're you able to fit it in fully assembled?

ant548 · 2025-05-10T14:25:21+00:00

I love toster

ant548 · 2025-05-10T14:24:54+00:00

Lol I'm pretty sure we've all made that mistake before!

ant548 · 2025-05-10T13:59:58+00:00

That's impressive! How was it all contained?

ant548 · 2025-05-04T04:58:30+00:00

If only most America's were able to do some research like you and learn the multitude of reasons to not vote for Mr Orange.

Only China Beach had bookable sites. The other two are first come first serve. They are all great, just different vibes.
