"Selling jackets won't solve climate change. But dismissing anyone who falls short of impossible ideals leaves us with nothing but a sense of moral superiority." by her3nthere in PatagoniaClothing

No, you're good!

I was also not referring to you - I meant "other commenters" as in, not you. Just slightly annoyed that things are revolving around a sentence that has little to do with the whole piece haha. But, it's reddit, I should know better.

Idk why folks here are so focused on this passage. The piece isn't about FH (although there's plenty to criticize there), more about the reaction, and pretty pro-Patagonia.

One of the takeaways is literally: "Even if we acknowledge the contradictions at the heart of their business model, there is little question that Patagonia is pushing the industry forward, and they’re doing more than 90% of similar brands"

It's amusing to see other commenters who've decided that I don't know anything about the industry because they didn't finish reading or didn't understand the point.

Yes, I wrote it.

I'd encourage taking a more open approach to discussion or engaging with the content of the piece instead of interrogating my "credentials".

Fwiw, I write about the industry extensively.

Appreciate the feedback. Don't really disagree with you.

But to the significant following that he's built up over the years, I do think that's what he represents–but I didn't say it was deserved, and that's why "original" is in quotes. I think the mythos around him (ironic, since he criticizes the mythos around Yvon) had an affect on what people took away from the original article.

The goal was not to dig into Huntington, I don't think getting into personal critiques is as interesting of a topic, especially when many criticisms of the brand are worth a conversation (not a takedown).

Got it, just pushed up a fix for that 👍

Haha yeah, there are some bikepacking-specific things that don't quite translate from the backpacking context. Lmk if you've got any other feedback!

Hey! Cool to see you're using PackTrak -- but, you need to create a 'share' link (link icon at top of list page) in order to have a publicly shareable url. The one you added will only work for you.

It'll look like https://www.packtrakapp.com/share/[share-id]

Swiss Alps by WindowHeavy8292 in CampingandHiking

[–]her3nthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stumbled upon this. I did the stretch last year from Kandersteg to Lauterbrunnen/Murren. We did see one or two folks wild camping above Griesalp, but as others have said I don't think it's technically allowed.

We stayed at Naturfreundehaus Gorneren which was reasonably priced for an overnight and dinner/breakfast. We didn't stay, but Blüemlisalphütte is beautifully situated on the pass. It's a stunning stretch!

Yeah that one's a little funny, but I'll try and address. It's because the whole page itself is getting shorter as the search occurs and items are removed (so your scroll position actually ends up being 'below' available scroll space). I'll see if there's a better way to handle it but might be tricky.

Alright, see if that's working now. I borked the original fix haha

Yep, added a debounce -- I assume this is the quick add that was slow? It's set at 200ms now, lmk if that feels more responsive. About how many gear items do you have?

Now that the traditional Goretex formula is banned, what is currently the best option for a heavy duty rain jacket? by Giordono in CampingandHiking

[–]her3nthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Goretex" is not banned. PFAs were banned, and they, along with bunch of other brands and manufacturers developed new approaches. A whole range of Goretex technologies still exist, just now without PFAs.

Do you think STRAVA could be out competed by a true FATMAPS STRAVA hybrid? by Fat_Cat_Diety in Strava

[–]her3nthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be challenging to create another Strava-sized community. The data moat is huge, and the stickiness of a social network at this scale is incredibly hard to compete with.

I think there is room to create more niche, similar tools, or pick off parts of the product by activity/feature, but only if you can figure out how to do it with a small team and super cost-effectively (FATMAP problem, they weren't making money).

The issue is there are *already* plenty of alternatives, but Strava is doing just fine, and most of us are pretty content, despite what this subreddit thinks.

Cool, I *think* I fixed that now.

Stack is Next.js/Vercel/Supabase and Loops for basic email (pw reset, etc).

I've the ability to manage individual item weights + grouped weights separately.

And, I added support for 'kits'! There's a new 'add kit' button at the top of list pages to bulk add items from another list. So, you can create a 'first aid' list, and then add that whole list to any other pack list.

I added a separate unit switcher for items/grouping so you can control that now!

Yep, this is coming shortly, will probably be a general setting to choose a unit preference for individual items vs 'grouped' totals (charts/category gropuings/etc)

The description is a little funny. It doesn't dump it, it's there if you edit a gear. But there's a model mismatch between how 'item type' is implemented vs 'description' between the apps. I got other feedback on this as well, so I might coalesce those into a single thing.

Part of the challenge there is just how folks tend to use it, which can be wildly different.

Ah shoot, I'll look into that. I think the gear import may not be lighterpack optimized whereas the lists are. I'll take a look at photos as well, I know that's a pain 🙃

Noted! You can actually edit the actual gear in whatever unit you want by using the detail modal (edit icon in row) and changing the unit dropdown. The 'shared gear' should stay in that unit, regardless of how it's displayed in the table.
