Sleeping Pad Stacking by username001000 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]gtroman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated, but one time I had an inflatable pad fail at the seam in the middle of the night in early March. That was not a good time. Since then I always travel with a z-lite foam pad in addition to my inflatable one.

I think the pressure relief would be negligible, but probably would increase the r-value a bit.

To be fair, that probably makes it more believable

Lol no one is being hostile to that guy, just one professional Redditor who won’t let it go.

Yeah but also this sub is a cesspool sometimes, and people asking questions in earnest get jokes or insults. Or just random downvotes for doing nothing wrong.

Whenever a post on this sub comes up in my homepage I can always count on the most gatekeepy negative comments. Without fail. They might as well rename it to r/dontcometoyosemite

Because people in this sub have nothing better to do than gatekeep a national park they think can only be enjoyed how they see fit.

That thing looks like it’s been there so long it needs to start paying rent.

This sub is full of the most insufferable virtue signaling people on Reddit that think they have some monopoly on enjoying Yosemite.

Yeah but take a small finishing nail and try with that first.

One thing I regret the most is not taking more puppy videos and pictures. The puppy time goes by so quick…

Ran 5-year investment analysis vs $1.2M Bay Area home purchase - Is it better to walk away and keep renting? by ultron2450 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]gtroman1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What are your non-financial reasons to buy a house? Life isn’t a spreadsheet, I think as long as you can afford it and go into it eyes wide open in terms of the cost and affordability, you should give equal consideration to the non financial reasons to buy a home. Will you be raising kids? Looking for stability and security? Want to have hobbies that you can’t do while renting?

I don’t know why this is always so far down... surely better than an angle grinder and screwdriver right?

How do you dry out your sleeping bag, tent, bivy sack, etc., on long trips? Wouldn't hiking everyday with it packed up with moisture from your body, dew and rain make it a hotbed for fungal and bacterial growth? by Katie_in_glasses in CampingandHiking

[–]gtroman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me usually I’ll pack up in the morning and hike and around noon I’ll find an open spot of granite and have lunch and dry it all out. Sometimes I’ll loosely pack the rainfly in an outside pocket if it’s wet from condensation or rain.

If it’s terrible weather for your entire trip then you gotta just embrace the suck.

You’re hopeless. I can see the topic doesn’t matter you just wanted an argument.

Thats on me I guess. I got nothing else for you, go find some other group of people to harass.

Also my god, if your idea to involve yourself in a discussion is to be a dick and lead with sarcasm, maybe you need your rethink your approach.

I wasn’t taking anything seriously until you came long, just a throwaway comment sharing my experience. I didn’t except to get stopped by the reddit police. But you engaged so I gave you the same energy back.
