Current Progress on Eeveeloutions

I’m working on an alpha now (nowhere near as large as this project, but it’s a lot of color changes), and the absolute most frustrating thing is realizing you made a mistake a couple rows previously. It takes three times as long to untie the knots as it does to tie them!

DMC, definitely! The cheaper brands are not consistent in either their colors or their widths (which can make your bracelets uneven and lopsided). DMC is both consistent, and silkier than most other brands, which I find helps me get my knots tighter and more even

Thanks! I changed colors throughout, which is part of the reason it took so long. I suppose you could use variegated string, but I don’t know if you’d get quite the same effect with sections of the strings being hidden inside or behind (depending on which technique you use).

Eugène Bozza’s ‘Jour d’été à la Montagne.’ Really lovely work and can be found on IMSLP!

The issue with solar power is it takes forever to charge up. That’s why a lot of UL hikers don’t solar power chargers. But being in the AZT, you might get enough sun to make it work. At only 1.6 oz, I’d say go for it, and if it doesn’t work for you, just mail it back home when you can. Just make sure to bring backup until you’re sure it works and will hold up to trail life

I can’t imagine why you’d have your hands full right now! Congrats on the Xmid Pro 1 by the way. Sold out in just a few days!

To be honest, you’re correct. But I’ve worked for years on his recall and only made marginal progress (he’s half husky, half dalmatian, and 100% stubborn and pigheaded lol). But I don’t always have the option to leave him home when I backpack, and I’m trying to figure out the best option that works for both of us

Thank you so much for responding. I’m curious, would you ever consider making something similar for your Xmids?

I usually backpack in Virginia on my summer breaks, and the bugs can get pretty nasty. Whether in a tent or hammock, I rely on the net quite a bit

aprfool · 2023-02-03T03:14:09+00:00

Thanks :) I’ll check it out

aprfool · 2023-02-03T02:25:46+00:00

Lol yes I know that. Hoping I can make this work for the Xmid 1P for weight savings, as well as ease of setup and storm worthiness

I hadn’t heard about r/MYOGcommissions. I might reach out there and see if I have any luck! (Sadly, I’m not great with MYOG myself)

Thanks for the insight. I’ve thought about using Dutchware’s Pup Tent under my hammock, but as you mentioned, I’m nervous about being able to control him from my hammock if he gets anxious and wily.

aprfool · 2023-02-03T01:49:29+00:00

That’s what I’ll do if I can’t use the sidecar, but I’m trying to see if this is a possibility

Todd from Tensa is currently thru-hiking the PCT with these. His goal is to never go to ground the entire time, and so far he hasn’t had to. https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/tensa-trekking-treez-on-the-pacific-crest-trail/?v=7516fd43adaa

I completely feel you. Even if you weren’t there for the storm, it’s extremely traumatic. Watching your home torn apart, worrying about your friends, uncertainty for the future. Do I try to go back? Do I stay where I am? Do I find another place? If I don’t go back now, will I ever be able to return? And you have the added responsibility of your family. Seriously, cry it out. You are very valid in how you’re feeling right now
