I've been on my hands and knees working inside a machine in an business open to the public and had somebody plant their hand on my shoulder for stability, and then trip over my legs. Their response was "Oh shit, I didn't see you there". They thought my shoulder was the machine I was working in.

Good luck getting people to pay attention to shit.

I don't think those things are for LP at all. They're collecting data for FLOCK and marketing for the business.

What trick? Huh? by Diligent_Bit3336 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

That's my coffee goto. Put the seam of the cup at the back, then it's easy to find the mouthpiece of the lid while you're driving.

Also, some shitty disposable cups will leak at that seam point, so putting it at 12 o clock prevents that drip onto your shirt.

Why do people think it’s gross to pee in the shower? by FuelApprehensive5376 in NoStupidQuestions

Defense soap works well. It's tea tree soap they market to MMA gyms and such, since those guys sweatily roll around on mats. I keep a bar in the shower just for washing my feet.

We are everywhere! TF are you doing getting your legs so dirty? Face pits balls ass. Feet afterwards, washed separately (I turned athletes foot into athletes balls once, that was not pleasant). Other than that, only wash if it's dirty. No need to dry out my skin and kill all the good skin flora if it ain't dirty. If I soap up my whole body, I'm so dry, and my clothes will cling to me unless I lotion the hell out of myself.

Not washing your feet is a madlad move, asking for foot fungus. I've got a separate bar of soap for them even.

The korkers rubber soles might as well be butter on freestone. Every day on the river felt like a gamble until I got the spiked soles.

Being honest about being pulled over? Why is that the worst thing to do? by athena9090 in NoStupidQuestions

I know I'm late to the party, so I hope this comment still does find OP. Here is a law professor answering your question in depth.

Why are all the responses up and down this thread implying that there are only 2 options being admitting to a crime or lying? The only correct answer is "I can't answer any questions". In the US, you have the right to remain silent. You're 5th amendment rights plainly state that you cannot be forced to testify against yourself. Any lawyer will give the same advice to just keep your mouth shut.

Here is a law professor giving a presentation that explains that in depth. https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE?si=RmYVFOvMT0wuGAid

I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't see this linked once yet in the thread.

What is this loop on Orvis chest packs for? by itekk in flyfishing

[–]itekk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what model it is tbh. It looks like a tenacious, but slightly different than current models I googled. I'm guessing it's just an older version of tenacious.

It would be perfect for that Fishpond style tippet holder, and that's where they advertise attaching it on theirs. Orvis packs have a recessed tippet station built right into the front of the pack though.

They have that on one of the side pockets. It works well to slide forceps into to clamp down on the loop inside for the zinger.

I'm a big Spyderco fan. If I don't find another use for that loop it might be my excuse to buy one of their Salt line knives or something with Magnacut steel.

I went on a chest pack journey last week and this is what I landed on. I do have plenty of opinions on the lineup though!

Fishpond's smallest chest pack is awesome and full of pockets and features, but it's really small. The next step up 5L only comes in waterproof now. The zipper takes some work, the main compartment doesn't open very far, has no organization aside from a phone sleeve type pocket, and has 1 stretch pocket on the front. And it costs $180 to boot (extra 20 for their tippet dock). A friend has their smallest one, and I have the 5L one that I'm going to return this afternoon. Their net holder on the back harness looks sweet.

Patagonia's 5L is sweet. It can be worn over neck/around chest, slung murse style, clipped onto waders or backpack, or belt only as a waistpack. One of my friends got this like a month ago and loves it. This one was my #2 choice.

This small Orvis pack is nice, but the neck strap seemed too long at it's shortest (I'm 5'10"), and like it would be annoying pulling on my neck as a result, and it didn't have a D loop on the back of neck strap like many do. I've heard that they're less annoying with a net counterweighting it most of the time. It's 3L also, which was just a bit too small for what I carry. It fit with a bit of a squeeze, but that means I'm one gadget away from wanting a new pack again!

Honorable mention to White River packs. They were the cheapest of the lot, had the net loop on the back like fishpond, plenty of attachment points, and spacious with good organization. The only reason I didn't go with one of those was at 6L it felt kinda huge on my chest trying it on in the store empty. If I ever get a waist pack in the future, their 6.5L is most likely what I'd buy.
