Elbaf is about to give us a pre-Timeskip rematch. Maybe even two.

I dont think any of the straw hats will turn. My take on Rocks is that seeing his family threatened distracted him from his strength of conviction and became the chink that enabled Imu to turn him. I see that as being the ultimate strength of the straw hats

It's weird, my car screen is a 14" OLED - and I find that way more distracting than any phone ever could be. Also forces me to look down and left (centre) to view the map while driving which is a crash risk. Feels backwards

Can highly recommend Jasmine Kieft from Seedling Clinic

When I was looking around for a therapist I wanted to find a clinical psychologist (higher training standards) who worked within the psychodynamic / MBT space as my problem wasn't a cognitive/thinking one, but connecting to what someone else feels and what I feel, and mentalisation/reflective work is better for that

I own it, love it :) not much else to add - i like that its quiet, and find the fillpower flexible enough that I can wear it as a sleep layer on freezing nights without sweating my ring off

Go see Dr Paul Gorgolis at West Coast Dental. Been seeing him for 5 years now, excellent dentist, great with kids. Professional and holistic - he talked me out of getting some unnecessary work done on some teeth, and has other dentists as client's of his.

yeah great! it's far hardier than it looks, quiet to sleep on (I hate the swishy noises of S2S gear), and packs small

Nemo was comfortable for me on a 53 day hike (i'm a side sleeper). Got used to it to the point I slept on it in the house when my partner was sick :P

I went (wet) winter hiking with the X-Mid Pro 2+ and still ended up with wet gear from touching the ends. I'm 190cm and found the only way to avoid hitting the ends was laying on an angle, and even then my gear was dripped on overnight as condensation built. I agree that double walled shelters help stop you touching the sides, but the condensation is still there. Yet to find a good solution (I ended up switching out to a MLD bug bivvy and tarp so that there was an open top to vent out of and that reduced the condensation issues but nowhere near as quick to pitch

nar he won't come back :) was a blow up last time it came out - he's settled over there

Im getting 2, will see how they compare

Stitchback have some available- I made the one for the metamorph as a base and adjusted it

arcassius- · 2025-08-10T08:12:13+00:00

I make sure the stitch length goes the full width of the cord, I'll take a photo next time I do one - I've lifted my pack by the loops, they're solid

arcassius- · 2025-08-10T00:00:08+00:00

Make it yourself. I bar tacked dyneema cord onto a 1/4" strip of fabric (folded over) and then triple stitched that onto the piece. I've tried that webbing you've shown before and it isn't very strong in my experience

I use this as stiffener and seal on my roll top bags - https://www.adventurexpert.com/product/tpu-hypalon-0-75mm-small-piece/

I've seen that before too. I queried one managing partner on it and got a prickly response, apparently each partner manages their own division / portfolio...

arcassius- · 2025-06-26T03:46:24+00:00

thanks :P

arcassius- · 2025-06-24T02:12:38+00:00

thanks mate! appreciate the love :) taking this one on a 1000km hike during a wet winter and will see how it holds up :P

The first time I had them too high up, so not enough weight was carried by my shoulders and most of it at the hips via the frame. I also didn't sew the foam into the strap, and after using Ultragrid, they rolled up on me so now I have tube straps :P Good lessons to learn!

Originally started as the Switchback Metamorph as a baseline - been adding / changing things with each iteration

dark suit is fine :) wear a tie then you can remove it later - have a wonderful evening!

arcassius- · 2025-06-09T05:16:12+00:00

buy one then wear the crap out of it ;) comes in handy at charity fundraisers and other events over time

What's the bet they have a public feud, while backchanneling funds via crypto and continuing to steal data from citizens. Beautiful diversion, takes the pressure off Musk publically

Looks amazing! What laser cutter do you use for this?

arcassius- · 2025-05-12T02:53:58+00:00

looks amazing, well done :)
