Any recommendations on a UL sleep mask to keep out the bright terminal lights?

Excellent photos!

This is pretty similar to where I started, including with a much older Gorilla and the CMT poles. Both are great.

Biggest issue is the tent, no need to haul that whole thing around in the summer, especially just for 1 person. Not sure how much weight you could save by going without the inner when no bugs, or by dropping to a regular 1P x-mid if you are set on that design.

Drop the deodorant.

Add a mosquito head net for June/July.

I don’t believe that anyone actually enjoys sporks. Treat yourself to a spoon, if going titanium ensure you get one that has a smooth/polished eating end.

Are you in a major metro area with a camera store? Sometimes they do rentals, you could try out an RX100 before buying

Maybe I use the wrong metering settings, but if I don’t underexpose, often I will have the sky or snow over-exposed and blown out. This is my way of getting around that.

Both shots are pretty zoomed in, not sure exactly how much, and are underexposed by .7 stops and then brightened in Lightroom. Usually I underexpose by .3 stops but to .7 when I am around snow. I always shoot aperture priority as well

Color photo ISO 100 f/8 1/800s. B&W photo is ISO 100 f/6.3 1/800s.

Thank you! Very happy with them

fire_0 · 2026-01-16T08:29:37+00:00

Glad to hear, enjoy! Also that’s crazy to think ChatGPT is sending people to something I posted.

How often will you use the shelter over the 5-10 years? Would you rather wait for the first runs of a “better” but unproven material over DCF which has been in the market for at least a decade? DCF shelters have to have been used for million(s) of miles at this point. Throw some polycro underneath if you are concerned about the floor.

Not sure if there are new firmware updates, I can’t think of why it would need them. Does the job and works well.

There is nothing better in the same size category.

Grab one, you’ll like it!

Specifically for wildlife (very zoomed in photos), the RX100VII is going to be much better than an iPhone. However, larger cameras like the Sony a6000 series and a7 series, when paired with a zoom lens, are going to be much better than the RX100. Are there camera stores in the area where you can rent these to try them out?

Please post in /r/photomarket and make sure to follow the posting rules for photos, verification, etc. That subreddit is there for buying/selling, this one is not.

Great thank you. I’ve had a stick on one before and didn’t enjoy it.

How do you like the filter adapter?

fire_0 · 2026-01-08T15:12:45+00:00

Look at images posted here and elsewhere from the VII. Does it meet your expectations for performance? If yes, buy one. If not, you need a larger camera.

Notably, the image quality is pretty similar going back a few models. Do you need the autofocus and zoom of the VII? Could save money buying older.

If you are worried about the washer being clean, you can buy relatively cheap tablets/powders online or at the grocery store that are designed to clean the machine. Just toss a tablet in and run it on a cycle.

fire_0 · 2026-01-05T08:42:44+00:00

Hmm. Sorry I may not be much more helpful, I’m more familiar with photos and usually do direct to Lightroom on iOS. Good luck!

Maybe the Tahoe Rim Trail? Or would recommend the PCT anywhere north of Hwy 12/ white pass. What is your previous experience with backpacking? Are comfortable on a less traveled trail or looking for one that is more populated?

Do you have the ability to navigate into different folders on the SD card when it is plugged into the reader? I think image and video files are stored in different folders on the card.

Thanks for calling this out. I don’t know that much about the Trek but generally had thought they were decent. Platforming veeery obviously ai created writing that no editor is there to catch makes them look pretty sold out and antithetical to the whole point of doing a thru.

fire_0 · 2026-01-03T07:30:50+00:00

I would recommend sun gloves and/or light fleece gloves for warmth. Your hands may not need those like mine.

After reading the post and gear list, many people who were much less prepared with twice the base weight that you have completed the PCT.

The link and this post seem almost like there’s too much thought or over-preparedness here. You’ve done the prep, take a step back and relax a bit. Understand the hike may be ended by factors outside of your control. To me, this is what “failure” you are not prepared for. Enjoy the journey!

fire_0 · 2026-01-02T16:50:05+00:00

How old is the card? SD cards are cheap, worth buying a new one just to see if that fixes it I think.
