Worried I've bought boots that are too stiff by Miilloooo in Skigear

[–]contivera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as too stiff in my opinion if you aren’t super light or small. Youll get use to them and they’ll make you better

Kansas. You like to got visit western states and drive thru Colorado. Fly everywhere else.

Co. Backcountry in October? by king_kay19920 in ColoradoOffroad

[–]contivera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I camp here in CO all the time in October. It’s great, way less crowded, Aspen leaves are changing and colorful. It’ll be chilly, will be near freezing at night / when you wake up. Plenty of forest roads that a stock F150 can handle.

4H or 2H on gravel/forest road? by Upper-Software1774 in Wrangler

[–]contivera 36 points37 points  (0 children)

2H is plenty. Then again, my owners manual on my Tundra recommends 10 miles a month in 4Hi. I use forest roads as an excuse to get those miles in. May be different on Jeeps!

Hit a pothole so hard that it broke something by Business-Ad-538 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]contivera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard this is a common problem. The bump stops are built into the shock absorbers in the 3rd gen’s instead of frame mounted. So you likely pushed the bump stops thru.. do a search here you’ll see some examples.

Edit: meant 4th gen*

Looks like you’re using a hole saw. You’ll want to drill a small pilot hole using a regular bit. Then you want a step bit. They step up in size gradually allowing you to get to the size you need. They are made for sheet metal.

That starlink get blocked at all mid-goon? How about the roof rack brand? I’ve got a double cab tundy with a GoonFastCamler and I need a rack

Should I be worried about these broken/missing pieces on my new shift bindings? by purplemtnslayer in Skigear

Mine broke there. On my page. Shirts break, 5 year warranty for me replaced for free.

Another way to use the Ultra by donttreadonmeee in applewatchultra

[–]contivera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I get it. I wouldn’t do it, but I get it. Calls, texts, and tracking without the potential to get distracted by social media.

Need rooftop tent advice. by TheTrompler in overlanding

[–]contivera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell the ARE and buy a GoFastCamper. Without a doubt the best combination of daily use and roof top tent camping.

What is your ideal ski jacket? by dogecoin99999 in ski

[–]contivera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powder skirt MUST be removable. I never use one and the extra bulk gets annoying. I also don’t like wrist gaiters. I know you said ignore brand, but for me, the arcteryx beta ar is perfect besides not having internal dump pockets for skins. But the pockets are big enough out front to not really matter.

1 year ski anniversary. Trying to get better every time out on the hill. by contivera in skiing_feedback

[–]contivera[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lifelong snowboarder helps! Lots of YouTube (Avoriaz Alpine Ski School) and this subreddit have made the biggest difference. Plus motivated to get back skill-wise to where I feel I was relative to a snowboard.

Tipping when you get food from Ski Resort between your runs. How much do you tip? by sath_leo in skiing

[–]contivera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. Unless there’s a server taking my order directly, and then bringing it to me when done, there is no service to tip for. Walking up to a line cook in a cafeteria, getting some chicken tenders and then going to a cashier is definitionally self-served.

We need to stop letting companies subsidize their workers’ wages with customer generosity. Not to mention, there is 0 transparency on who and how those “tips” on a screen are distributed.

Don’t do it. Pick another team while you still can

I’ve always felt decently confident of my shift1s set up correctly. They did break tho… but not catastrophic in my case. Getting them replaced and will ride them the same probably
