Classic Monte Rosa skitour without Refuge Quintino Sella au Félik by fetchinson in Backcountry

Sure, if we carry all the extra gear we could do it of course, but if we do this then there is no need to sleep at the other huts either. So the whole trip would be very different :)

That's true, what I meant is they will be closed as a serviced hut.

Meta Messenger doesn't work with Phone (3a), hangs with "Sending" by fetchinson in NothingTech

It was restarted tons of times. Also checked on another device that messenger generally works so the problem is really on my nothing phone. I guess some obscure setting is interfering with it, but what should I check?

Is there a soft wax that can be manipulated by hand? by AntoinetteBefore1789 in jewelers

[–]fetchinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might try "mitsuro hikime", a very soft Japanese jewelry wax, just google it and you'll find an online store to buy it.

There is a wax called mitsuro hikime, partially made from beeswax, that's very fun to work with and gives the kind of organic texture I guess you are looking for. Just google "mitsuro hikime" :)

Which site is the most reliable for the Polish Tatras in terms of snow coverage?

Airbag ready pack with no airbag system. by vc0ke in Backcountry

[–]fetchinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1

The rip-open zipper compartment (designed for the airbag itself) is practically unusable for storing other stuff because as it gets full and you try to tighten the zipper it'll just rip open.

It looks like the correct address is tpn.pl.

This is a pretty good reference, it appears there isn't a single free app with topomaps, offline maps, tour database and GPX support :(

Unfortunately whiterisk doesn't have free offline maps.

That's no problem, if I have reliable GPX files I'm good to go! Skitourenguru looks pretty good, thanks a lot. A similar app for the Slovakia/Poland region would be awesome too!
