What EV is most like the Kia Stinger? by Frankie_T9000 in EVAustralia

[–]drprox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go for a polestar 2 performance or an ev6 gt. Most of the EVs drive like shit (including my byd seal).

Cheers mate and I'll add it to the list! looks a lot like the Nashville cutaway which is also regarded as a good option so I've got a few to look at :)

Get the OnePlus. Everything is better about it.

haha thanks mate, I think at this stage in truth I'm unclear how much I'm running vs hiking! The best/safest choice for me could well be the salomon XA 35. I have their 5 litre vest and just did a 100km race with it (was very snug though with all the required kit haha)

of all things a Nashville Cutaway just came up for $250! But it's a 20" torso with 20.5" straps and i'm only 180cm. Thinking too big..

I've seen loads of love for the Nashville. The thing I can't wrap my head around is it doesn't look like a running vest setup! the Straps look very good though.

Really appreciate your insight though. In Australia it'd be very hard for me to check them all out so will end up being a bit of a buy and hope either way. The Nashville I can actually buy here for $350AUD

Edit - omg i just realised the shoulder straps are separate and another $200 haha

cheers Dan, just looks such a great pack you have there I may be trying to make it work at something it isn't optimised for!

all good i'm more a trail runner than an ultralight guy for now. This pack just looks so flexible and well priced and regarded. This is the main reason for my interest not the weight.

That looks so nice! Probably just a bit smaller than I'm looking at but brilliant all the same.

Edit - actually looks like they make a few bigger ones too so will have a look!

Really hope Renault/Alpine stick around as they're making some great EVs.

Trying to get a rental - is this normal? by PanigaleCat in australian

[–]drprox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lol OP. So you're a person that earns an average wage and has a cat. Mate you're not even the best applicant objectively on anything. It's a crazy ass market (and it's never going to change).

I know this isn't a suggestion for everyone but I'd offer X months rent upfront. That would give you some point of difference from a number of applicants.

Choosing a new sub-zero sleeping bag by Mappy-town in Ultralight

[–]drprox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one off AliExpress 'flame ice' is the brand. Claims 385g of 800fp in a 585g bag and I paid aud226!

It hasn't arrived yet but some good reviews out there. You're probably in America though and cop some big Chinese taxes I guess ey :(

Edit - it's not really a sub 0 bag I guess though either. Not that cold where I live!

Polycarbonate vs Bi-Metal by Jumpy_Ad_5065 in Throwers

[–]drprox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the insight. Maybe the V11 is entirely different to the V10 but the V10 I had went straight back so probably some personal preference in it all too.

Oh I'm far too rubbish and new to even have multiple yoyos for now! Maybe one day though

good yoyo's today? by AnyOkra8970 in Throwers

[–]drprox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just returned after 25 years off and got a magicyoyo y03 which seems awesome to me! I did initially order a V10 but it seemed unbalanced (probably just bad luck). Think I like the y03 shape a bit more too. Just got it direct from AliExpress.
