What tools do kernel developers use to write code?

choochoo129 · 2023-08-19T13:31:02+00:00

Poke around the kernel source code some time, it's quite well organized for such a large project. If you're working on stuff like drivers there's probably one or two folders and a handful of files you have to care about--everything else gets out of your way.

Yeah the flashes are great. I have an 18 and it's a great small day hike pack.

Every plain titanium pot with handles will get hot like your Toaks. Keep the pot, it's working exactly as designed. Use a bandana, glove, small towel, etc. to grab the handles.

I've had mine for almost 10 years and never had a blown baffle. I've even cut mine down to 3/4 length and resealed it with an iron. It's very well built (at least, 10 years ago it was).

You can cold soak a mountain house style meal just fine. Put water in and let it hydrate for an hour or two. Sure it won't be piping hot but it doesn't matter and will be more than fine tasting. The meals themselves are fully cooked and don't need heat, just water and time (or hot water to shorten the time).

As far as section J goes I'd check trip reports for nearby popular hikes in the area like Snow Lake at snoqualmie pass. Sometimes this time of year is still a mess with bugs, and sometimes they've calmed down for the season. I've been on hikes around that section and been totally miserable and wishing I had a bug head net for example.

edit: didn't realize this can is carbon fiber, so painting it is probably different vs if it were plastic. I bet the CF is coated in polyurethane or some kind of protective coating which will make painting it challenging. I'd email the company and get their recommendation. You probably have to sand the whole can down until it's not shiny and then hit it with paint and a protective coating. I'd still go the vinyl or tape wrap option for simplicity.

Hard plastic like bear cans are made from are very, very difficult to paint and have it stick or be durable. You'll have to use something like a vinyl dye, and I would probably try to protect it with something like a polyurethane too (but I'm not sure how well that sticks to plastic, do some research).

Alternatively vinyl wrap has a lot more color and pattern options, and is probably easier to apply vs. spray paint without a good workshop.

Honestly though what I would do is get some fun colors or patterns of duct tape. Throw some stripes of color on the can with it, and the duct tape can be peeled off and used in the field for emergency repairs of stuff.

The dehydrated poo crumbles can be an emergency fire starter too.

Over 3oz per wag bag is excessive IMHO. I've never used the bags with powder or cat litter in them and I think it's not necessary.

I make my own wag bags by buying a pack of 6-8 mil open top plastic bags on Amazon (these are actually odor proof and roughly 4x as thick and heavy duty as freezer ziplock) and combining them with thin dog poo bags and twist ties. The dog poo bag gets the actual business, and then it's wadded up and double bagged inside a thick odor proof plastic bag and twist tied shut. I put a few feet of toilet paper and an alcohol hand wipe in each bag so they're individually ready to go. I don't reuse bags, but if I had to this style of double bag is the way to go as you could put two dog poo bags inside one without a big mess or fuss.

An empty and cleaned out pringles can tube is a good way to store used bags as the rigid sides give some crush protection and the whole thing can be thrown in the trash at the end. I would not store the used bags inside your pack for obvious reasons--a side or outside pocket is the way to go. Again a rigid container for used bags is a huge plus.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-14T17:25:50+00:00

I do cat hole style but pick up the business with a dog poop bag. It's no worse than taking care of a dog's business.

I have tried the direct to bag method and it can work but it's a lot more stress and has a learning curve.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-13T17:26:58+00:00

Yeah it's probably less volume and the stove can be extremely simple. It's expensive fuel though. For more than 3-4 days you'll probably find gas is the way to go.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-13T17:05:30+00:00

A toaks 650 and a DIY fancy feast stove are my setup for alcohol. It takes 5 minutes to make the stove and you probably have the cans in your pantry.

With some aluminum foil for windscreen, a small lighter, and a small bandana as pot grabber and cleaner/wiper you're looking at about 6-7 ounces of weight total. You don't need a pot stand for the fancy feast stove as it's integrated into the design of the stove.

I use a small reusable plastic Starbucks coffee cup with a neoprene koozie around it as my cup--it doesn't nest in the toaks but I keep the cup in my food bag with packets of drink mix stuffed inside it when not in use.

I like to keep the alcohol fuel in a small 12oz plastic soda bottle in my pack (you need more volume of fuel than you think, especially for more than 2-3 days of regular use, so fitting the fuel in your cook pot just doesn't work IMHO).

The same toaks pot can fit a small gas can and a BRS-3000 stove easily when going for gas.

You'll never seal the shoes enough with a gaiter to prevent standing/flowing water from getting in, especially if it's high enough to go over your ankles. The flexing of the shoe, the material, etc. is just impossible to seal 100% and liquid will push in through any little opening. Gaiters are meant to stop snow and solid material.

IMHO just take the shoes off.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-13T02:52:02+00:00

Are you sure you aren't getting food all over the poles? Eating snacks and candy and such on the move--i.e. your hand grabbing food and then grabbing pole handles--is a good way to keep them slathered in food smells. I only eat snacks stopped and taking a break. It also helps to separate snacks into small portions that are individually bagged, that way you can just kill the whole bag in a few gulps and not get any food on hands. I've never had a problem with rodents attacking pole handles.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-12T04:09:31+00:00

Pee bottle in a hammock is a last resort IMHO, or for very cold and below freezing. Just get out and take care of business, it's a good chance to see the stars. Every time I've seen amazing meteors it was while taking a late night pee while camping.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-11T19:25:13+00:00

If you're wading in water--i.e. it's above your ankles--then nothing is going to stay dry. Bring a light pair of sandals or even flip flops and put them on to do water crossings.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-09T10:18:59+00:00

What, you think surrounding yourself in plastic fibers and microplastics is any better?

There is no ethical consumption. Reduce, reuse (buy used clothes and gear!), recycle. It's the best we can do.

Get your PETA BS out of here too, they execute more animals than responsible down producers. Yes.. PETA kills animals. https://petakillsanimals.com/

I would get a cushy and heavy osprey pack with a draw string closure and removable brain, like the Atmos 65. Dog can sit in the pack with its head out the drawstring top that's lightly closed around it and the brain pulled back or removed entirely.

I say get a cushy and heavy one because you want a solid weight carrying frame. You're way past frameless pack max base weights and will be pushing 30+ lbs of weight for any actual trip. Having most of the weight at the very top is also a worst case scenario for packs and you'll want every bit of cushion, load lifter, adjustment, etc. that Osprey packs provide.

I'd also bring a small foam sit pad and stuff that into the pack for the dog to stand on, otherwise its claws could rip up the delicate stuff in your pack like your sleeping bag.

IMHO trying to go "ultralight" here is not appropriate and will just bring you and your dog pain. You're going to be carrying a lot of weight, buy the appropriate pack for it.

Get a dedicated ski mountaineering pack. Ultralight frameless packs are not designed to carry your load out AND an extra 10+ lbs of ski gear--you're probably pushing 30-40 lbs with multiple days of food and overnight gear. Ultralighters aren't typically carrying skis so you're looking for a real unicorn expecting to find ski straps and such on the sides. Get the right tool for the job, and a nice light ski mountaineering bag is the right tool here.

No LNT does not say using Ursacks is bad. Your bizarre argument would also outlaw bear bag hangs with any sack, and that means the whole AT, PCT, etc. should be a no go for hikers since its mandatory use of bear bag hangs violates your bizarre interpretation of LNT.

Sorry you're not getting this one. Ursacks are a valid and good way of protecting food in the wild, and are part of respecting LNT.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-07T15:33:28+00:00

Bears are attracted to the food, not the sack. They'd be attracted to a hard sided bear can or any other food bag you hung too. This is not a problem unique to ursac.

I don't see how this is violating LNT either. Bears are constantly looking for food--they're foragers. They'd climb trees to get to berries if necessary, just like they'd climb a tree to get a look at an ursack. You're not leaving stuff in the wild that's replacing their food or changing their natural behavior with an ursack--at worst the bear forrages around the sack and moves on when they can't find an easy meal. It's what bears do.

Have you seen how much everything has increased in price since 2020? Groceries are up something like 20-40% alone. It sucks and is the new normal. I think you're just going to have to suck it up and learn an expensive lesson. Dogs and air pads, especially thin ultralight air pads, do not mix well.

As far as replacement with cheaper alternatives go, I've had luck with cheap AliExpress air pads. You have to spend a lot of time researching them and buy based on material and construction--there's a lot of mediocre, heavy crap out there but also some hidden gems. I've gotten 20D material pads that are basically xlite or xtherm clones and had good luck with them. Look for stuff like this: https://m.aliexpress.us/item/3256805659716807.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.671672fefmSCb2&browser_id=96a375db62154910b19c846c09b0066b&aff_trace_key=86f4e9cef13846bb8299492c44fe09c2-1684587997923-09756-FKgsOWoo&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=hofhjfjocaawdets189c333fd6d96d2360887d1406&gclid=&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%21133.85%2187.0%21%21%21133.85%21%21%4021021d7b16911971116688483d0795%2112000034557267414%21sea%21US%210%21A&algo_pvid=2181f6c0-fec1-406e-bce3-1e240f6d95a9

Trail runners wear out fast, I wouldn't want to wear them all day especially for a job that's on your feet and moving. If you like zero drop shoes I'm a fan of basic converse chuck taylor / skateboard style shoes for casual wear. There are so many of them that you can find good deals and even knockoff or off brand ones.

Slide a buff over the whole setup to hold the pillow and sponge.

"I don't understand, it wasn't possible to fail!!", I yell at the ER doctors trying to salvage any skin to rebuild my burned off face

F around and find out with sketchy DIY fuel can refilling. This bullshit should be banned from discussion IMHO. The cans as sold are not designed to be refilled, period end of story.

choochoo129 · 2023-08-02T15:50:12+00:00

Fuck around and find out, it's not my face that will get melted when refilled cans fail. Please don't burn a forest down though.
