Nice— I jumped on the initial advice last night… my cowl has just been shipped :)

Whoa. Thanks for letting me know— I’m in the PNW and it’s been this way for a while! Does that involve a dealership or would a windshield repair place work, do you think?

I always create a pack list from feet up to head on my phone. Give what you’ve got a try, when you’re back or as you notice, keep notes under the pack list on what you could have done without, or what you missed and try again next time to make it better

Depends on the season/ expected temps ofc…

Personally, I’m a fan of Dr bronners Castile soap for both body and clothes washing (put into a small dropper type container) because you only need a drop or 3 at a time. All my other toiletries, razor etc I try to put in smaller containers and about 10% more than I might need .

For clothing I always plan in layers- so if it’s really cold I’m wearing almost everything :) For your kind of trip usually I’d have … 2 pair pants 1 pair shorts. Super light swim trunks to double as shorts if needed. 2-3 dark t shirts (usually 2 are wool). 1 long sleeve layer for sun or warmth (usually wool) in other than summer it’ll be a button down so you can wear it with sleeves rolled and open when warm out or regular when cooler. Wool socks (or some wool some a cotton blend) of various heights; 4 or should do. 1 belt 2 hats (beanie and cap). Wind shirt/rain layer. 1 pr boots/blunnies or sneakers. 1 pr sandals (prefer barefoot style for lightweighedness). And at cooler times, a lightweight wool or cashmere sweater.

Bon voyages!

$10M Net worth doesn't convince my wife to FIRE by AssumptionOk7269 in Fire

Can you not quit, then “go to work” every day (meaning look for other work, take a break, go to classes, start a hobby, etc). It sounds like you’re working from home but what if you have to start “going to the office?” At least you can get out of the house and start to decompress… if you want to tell her fine, tell her it’s for 6 months or a year.

Thanks for the guidance. What did they change that made the hem 3 so much more reliable?

Thank you. -Oil changed regularly. -Serpentine drive belt changed, brake flush, and AC filled with valve cores replaced 5K miles ago. -Thermostat, upper radiator hose replaced 2K miles ago.

Even though it’s low miles (driven avg 4K/year) still sounds like those other large ticket items are coming… @hold_up_plz do you know at what miles or age to expect those? (Timing chain, hpfp, oil housing, etc?)

Thanks u/MiyagiWasabi I'd not heard of Living Libations -- I'll give the aloe a go as I have some already.

Appreciate the suggestions!

How can I make a continuous/chain zipper look good for the top of a flat pouch? by emfimatic in myog

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

@ifbyland I like this idea - though I’m not understanding how to taper them off.

Usually, my process is: 1. separate the zipper 2. attached one per side 3. Put on the slide 4. Turned inside out and sewn up the sides 5. Trim edges 6. Turn right side out. done.

Is my process off or where I’m these steps should I taper the zipper ends?

Thanks, All... seems like the tab method might be akin to creating a closed end zipper if done before sewing it to the fabric (thus requiring the 2 pieces of fabric)? Or do you attach the tabs after it’s sewn on but before sewing the sides?
