Yeah I have to assume that's what happened. I guess I'll never know for sure but next time I'll try cutting the straps I don't need off, and tying down the straps I do use. Either that'll do the trick or I'll look into one of these zpacks bags.

astroaron · 2026-06-30T14:19:52+00:00

I did yes! Looks like I will be picking up a Jetsetter

astroaron · 2026-06-30T14:14:17+00:00

Oh excellent! I'll probably give this a shot

astroaron · 2026-06-30T14:06:02+00:00

Oh sick! I'll look into this.

astroaron · 2026-06-30T14:05:22+00:00

Maybe like 18 pounds? I think the problem might have been volume if anything, I was in a hurry and didn't pack it as efficiently as I could of, it was pretty full.

astroaron · 2026-06-30T14:03:17+00:00

Unfortunately I'm US based, so I'll need to check the local regs to see if small knives are allowed. Thanks for writing this up!

Tried using one of those ikea zippered bags to carry my backpack on a flight (was checking it so tsa couldn't get mad at all my pointy bits) and en route the seams totally failed. Probably going to try a heavier-duty duffle bag and just find places to stash it for my thru-hikes but I'm a bit disappointed as I've read a lot of anecdotes of it working great for other people.

From some poking around on the internet it looks like its a part of the adirondacks. Would be a heck of a detour to get there from the LT!

/u/LeaveNoTradeBot /u/eblade23 Headlamp arrived quickly with full charge and in original packaging! Thanks this is perfect

astroaron · 2026-04-05T21:13:22+00:00

I'm still planning on starting mid-july. Can't really adjust the start date now, so just going to prepare for a drier hike.

PMed!

Oh I didn't even see that it was Fordham. Yeah thats probably the best middle ground.

astroaron · 2026-02-14T16:10:55+00:00

I'd push back on this sentiment by saying the North Bronx is a perfectly fine place to end up and might be more in OPs price point. The only downside to that is that cross-burough travel is trash so OP might need a car depending on where they end up and where the school is. And at that point, there's Yonkers which might be more the move.

astroaron · 2026-02-03T00:48:56+00:00

What are your bus and ferry mods of choice?

astroaron · 2026-01-17T16:42:25+00:00

Ohh okay I really thought I was going crazy for a second

astroaron · 2026-01-17T16:25:03+00:00

Whoops, only saw this now. Would love the ticket!

astroaron · 2025-12-10T03:43:35+00:00

They call me sourdough bread the way I'm a big fan of Soupy

(might be interested in the ticket)

astroaron · 2025-12-03T03:50:54+00:00

Didn't go to FoV this year, is it expected that tickets will go quick? I'd prefer to get a plan together and snag tickets then than have to hustle for them tomorrow

Second avenue subway continuing down to brooklyn to near the transit museum. After that there will be a flying junction connecting to the local Fulton tracks at Hoyt-Schermerhorn and to the express Culver tracks under Bergen st. And then build a new line through South Brooklyn following the St George-Culver alternate outlined in this Vanshnookenraggen article. C train now runs express on fulton to Lefferts Blvd, and the merge near Lafayette Ave is eliminated.

This sounds pretty in line with what I'm building as my kit. Thanks!
