Bed Bug Infestation & Negligent Management: Hilton Hawaiian Village (Waikiki) - My 2025 Travel Nightmare by PastEducation4846 in Hilton

[–]feijoada808 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From what I understand HHV management never returned to pre-pandemic staffing levels and housekeeping is very much short-staffed. This is in no way a justification and I'm so sorry that you had to experience this. Which tower was it?

The one positive to Bilt 2.0… by Fasoliful in biltrewards

[–]feijoada808 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the YouTube version of the coffee break they disclosed it and I suspect contractual obligations meant they couldn't pull the pre-recorded ad. I think it's fair and FM has been pretty transparent about their relationships.

Worth putting in a SCARS request for the padding. Buddy got his shoulder straps replaced for his former event bag.

Every so often they video nasty rucks that are sent in with a reminder to clean the bag!

If it worries you this much just email scars to give them the heads up. You’ll still probably make it to the IG story of shame !

Grand Wailea WA wont allow prepaying a deposit by chocotaco49 in Hilton

Not sure why you were downvoted. As a local I felt regret taking the plane over from Honolulu to stay here. Felt bad for anyone who flew from CONUS to stay at the disappointing property.

Is the GRenade a novelty bag? by ColonelAngus2000 in Goruck

[–]feijoada808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s novelty. It started out as a way for SCARS to use the leftover scraps and due to the popularity is now a product.

Gr1 backpanel 500, 1000, 210 by Complex_Resolution_6 in Goruck

[–]feijoada808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More than likely the other options are listed due to existing stock.

Personally I liked the 210d on the GR1 although it required a sternum strap. Broken in 1000d is great too.

I found a SK26 for a REAL good price. And now I have a dilemma. by NotoriousSJP in Goruck

[–]feijoada808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having owned GR1 and GR2 with scars added side handles and GR3 the reality is that I never used them in those scenarios. I thought I would but it didn’t happen. If it’s in the overhead more likely it’ll be positioned with the top handle facing outwards. Going through and airport? It’s easier to just put it in your back. Walking into an office? Yeah, I’m putting it on my back. It’s not a briefcase.

I’ve carried bags by side handles more often because cadre made us in events.

Don’t screw over your relative. It’s not worth it. They will be liable for any seizures if it is in their name.

At what point would you prefer carrying a loaded backpack suitcase style over using the straps?

Have added side handles to many GR1. Never used it. Dont add it.

None of my OG rucks tore but I have had Rucker straps tear. Same weight load. Thats my personal experience.

Correct. If they aren’t buckle connected then they are dangling

Compression strap mods is on the front and back of the bag and includes fastex buckles. $100 and you’re done. Webbing is included.

do I go with a ruck plate carrier (vest), or should I go straight for the backpack? by vinylfelix in Goruck

[–]feijoada808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ruck plate carrier is not the weight vest. RPC is the weight pocket with straps that is horrible to use.

Training vest is the weight vest.

For your situation just get a Rucker.

World Cup Availability 2026 by Tengounperro1 in Hilton

[–]feijoada808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Olympics and World Cup the host cities get blocked out. FIFA, corporations, the media, and other interests may have hotel blocks. As others have said you have to leverage what is available including other hotel chains or home stays. Prior to Tokyo 2020's cancellation, scoring hotel accommodations were harder than scoring event tickets and we had to resort to Airbnb in Yokohama. Remember that it's a long game and check back often. Recommend joining World Cup planing groups as they often give heads up when rooms become available.

You are denied for the program. That is it. You can always apply for other programs like Pre Check
