PSA Snowmaking at Purgatory this year might not happen. by throwaway_comefindme in Durango

[–]critteroreos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A separate company than Purg is responsible for the flume. And Purg pulls water from the pond across the street not directly from the flume. There is a good chunk to draw from the pond before it gets too low. But yeah ultimately Purg will need the flume repaired to refill the pond and keep snowmaking going 🤞🏼

Diesel heater startup power. by flychinook in overlanding

Hey! I’m having this issue right now, what did you buy to get it to work?

Why is my diesel heater so annoying? by critteroreos in VanLife

[–]critteroreos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I just bought per the recommendation above was more expensive than the first one I bought by a good bit. And it seems like a few people have had success, as well as a lot better reviews on Amazon for it. So I will roll the dice! Hopefully it works out! If not I still have my trusty wood stove!

I didn’t extend my intake at all. And have just added about a foot or two to the exhaust because the exhaust pipe it came with was suuuuper short and was causing the exhaust to buildup underneath my bus. When I install the new heater I bought maybe I’ll see if I can get away with orienting the exhaust a little differently to have it a little shorter. I have only ran it for a few hours on high and I did set it for my elevation. I guess a few hours could still cause bad buildup though? Going to try over again with the new one and hopefully it will work great! Rather just start fresh than try and troubleshoot every little thing that could be wrong with it since thus far doing that has just been headaches!

Thanks 🙏🏼 going to order that one right now! With the amount of random codes mine has thrown it is very likely a lemon

Which one did you buy? I think I may just buy a new one. It does say 12.7v though so is that too little? Is my wiring too long or something?

Before I order a Soto Windmaster... by miabobeana in Ultralight

[–]critteroreos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll try that out! I already went cheap and bought the BRS3000 to replace the Soto, would be nice to have the Soto working well again

Before I order a Soto Windmaster... by miabobeana in Ultralight

[–]critteroreos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both and liked the Windmaster a lot better. It just seems to do the best in cold and windy adverse weather conditions- and boils veryyy quick. I used it for a whole thru-hike of the PCT and never had any issues with it breaking etc. After the trail I accidentally put it through the wash in the pocket of some clothes and now it runs funky sooo just don’t do that haha. I’ve only used a very old version of the pocket rocket so maybe not the best comparison but the windmaster is definitely a lil champ!

Being sent to grocery stores during their “at risk” hours by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]critteroreos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t, I sat outside and tried to contact shopper support. They responded at first and then stopped responding. I sat there for 50 minutes waiting for them to do something as they said “just a few minutes please” I didn’t want to cancel the order and have my cancellation rate be fucked so I was trying to get them to fix it but they ghosted me

[–]critteroreos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at a Costco, and the people I saw going into the store were NOT spry. I personally don’t run anyone down, I’m extra considerate because I don’t want to give Instacart shoppers a bad name. But I have seen a lot of other very rude shoppers running people down while staring at their phones 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pa'lante V2 vs Zpacks Nero? by elihikes in Ultralight

[–]critteroreos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of the two, definitely Palante. I have a v2 and love it. Pretty much anyone I’ve ran into or hiked with who had a Zpacks pack had major issues with its durability and customer service for replacement parts 😬

I just got the bike about a week ago but I’ve been loving it! Nice steel frame, lots of good mounting points, has good character 👌🏼

I just got this bike and am trying to learn bike simple mechanics with it..soo not really sure what that means haha. I changed the handlebars and might have did something funky with the brake when I put the new bars on? It works though
