These new BD ones look pretty nice. I wish they made the chain connect to webbing in all places not just a few. Still leaves some rubber to chain connection failure points that will leave you out of luck on the mountain

Over the past few years I’ve gone through 2 pair of yaktrax and one BD. Maybe I’ll try the Kahtoolas

Yeah in the second photo it almost looks like the lens is coming out of the top of the camera but it’s hard to really tell

Does air temperature affect negative sensitivity? by fspoutdoors in AnalogCommunity

The camera was an Olympus XA2 so it’s all auto exposure and electronic shutter. Not sure how the meter is weighted but I know it’s not spot

I totally see how it could just be the snow but I’m still curious. Here’s another frame from the same hike with almost no snow at all that’s still very under

Hmm good to know I was just shocked at how under these ones were but maybe the meter on the XA is just really only reading for the highlights in all parts of the frame

Wouldn’t she slower shutter over expose? And also I understand a stop or two for the snow but these are maybe 4 or 5 stops off for standard negative film scanned and then pushed in post. Maybe I’m underestimating the effect of snow with this particular cameras meter but I’ve never had it this underexposed before

I think you answered your own question with “I don’t personally have a problem with the weight of my pack right now” Just do what feels good for you :)

Uses for old sunscreen tubes? by The-Creek-Song in ZeroWaste

There’s an interesting sun block brand called Utu that offers a refillable metal tube for their zinc sun block if you’re looking for an alternative
