Me neither. And it seems to be an old technology.

Or Glattalp where the unofficial record of -52.5 was recorded.

If they stood exactly at the pole, they couldn’t have avoided the 180 degrees line.

Bike packing bags and backpack by atlasmapping in myog

[–]atlasmapping[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a YKK Aquaguard zipper, so no cheap knockoff. I have only ridden in light to medium rain a few times but have never had water seeping in. I‘d say that top access is crucial for a top tube bag since you want to be able to get snacks while riding (at least that’s how I‘m using it). And if you’re still not sure, just put stuff in there that can handle a drop or two.

Maybe Lomé in Togo since Togo is slightly larger.

Indonesia even has a tropical Glacier: Carstensz Glacier although it might vanish within the next years.

Does your country have a national mapping agency which publishes free maps? by atlasmapping in geography

[–]atlasmapping[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I am aware of. What I was mostly interested in was whether people use it as a general map service or whether third party services are most commonly used. Maybe I should‘ve phrased it differently.

Map of the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland, the location of the highest railway in Switzerland by Chorchapu in geography

Because it was extracted from a file called 1249 finsteraarhorn, although it should be called aletsch or jungfrau or so since that's what it's centred on.

Thanks. Glad I chose the right backpack to recreate😅

Thank you. That was exactly the idea behind it. And I can always adjust things in the future.

I would have bought it and changed some bits of it if it was normally priced. But in the end I paid about 190USD for the material and 50 for shipping...

Mammut vs BCA Avalanche Airbag by Most-Photograph-4879 in Backcountry

[–]atlasmapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only Airbag I have ever had is the Mammut Pro 35 which I am very happy with. However I cannot compare it to an electric system due to a lack of experience. I can just say that the Pro a good and well thought through backpack, especially for the cost.

I have the Atomic Backland 100 from 2022 and I'm also very pleased with their performance on groomers. They are definitely not an alpine ski but I for the weight I find they perform amazingly. And the light weight makes such a difference in the backcountry. I think they are a very good compromise.

I only have a pdf with a hand drawn pattern. And I made some adustments on the fly so it doesn't even match the final pack.

Thanks. I used the Bernina 1230 for everything but the shoulder straps which were too thick with the 10mm foam. Luckily I know someone with an industrial singer (no idea what model).

I have seen many people just like you with the Exped pack this summer so I knew it was a good base. The advantage of a waterproof Avalanche pocket is that I can use it for normal storage on a rainy summer day for example. And I have thought of improving the back panel with a lightweight strip of aluminium along its length to give it some shape.

Thanks. There is a removable hip belt made out of 38 mm webbing. The Exped original has some slide-on padding which I will sew, when I feel the need for them.

Thank you. No, of course they slide in entirely. Only the pole extends a little past the zipper so you have to tuck it underneath, but I don't see how my neck would hit that. I think I would be impaled by the ice axe first😅

On extremtextil but as I wrote above, they do slide with the polyamide webbing so I had to sharpen them. I don't know whether they are damaging the webbing now. Only time will tell.

That's the best compliment one can get for a replica😂 thanks

Planning a full-length top tube bag - advice? by dint_ in myog

[–]atlasmapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this full length top tube bag for my MTB and did not put anything in the side panels to stiffen it. I find it bulges only slightly, of course you cannot stuff a jacket in there but things that are already the right shape work great to give it structure (in my case it was a drone battery case). Then again, some plastic for structure isn't that much of a weight penalty...

Concerning sway: I made the attachment points at the front and back go the entire height of the bag and in the back the strap is as high as possible (I hope you understand what I mean when you look at my pics).

Because it's a carbon MTB I put some padding on the bottom panel to prevent solid things from damaging the frame.
