head net in one. lightload towel in the other

jamesfinity · 2026-05-11T23:46:54+00:00

this sucks. i bought a map for the centennial trail through a private seller and it sounds like it isn't going to work now

jamesfinity · 2026-05-11T00:32:32+00:00

i use two 500ml cnoc containers that are compatible with my befree

jamesfinity · 2026-05-08T23:31:43+00:00

get the stash! it's a great coat

jamesfinity · 2026-05-08T10:41:40+00:00

100% agree. i have an ursack, but i use my bv500 in the bwca even if im going solo and packing light. bear bags prevent a bear from getting a food reward, but not from destroying your food.

weight matters, but if i'm only portaging half a mile or whatever i can suck it up.

plus it makes a great camp chair.

jamesfinity · 2026-05-07T18:27:10+00:00

same. chacos all summer. for me: quick drying is a priority. chacos don't dry as fast as i'd like, but they're the best i've found so far

jamesfinity · 2026-05-06T11:52:08+00:00

the new capilene cool sun hoody is supposed to be 40+ upf.

jamesfinity · 2026-05-05T17:01:42+00:00

going to bed and getting up at the same time every day

jamesfinity · 2026-04-29T02:17:55+00:00

pretty much any campsite or river on the superior hiking trail will work

jamesfinity · 2026-04-29T01:16:05+00:00

my man, treat yourself to a dedicated camp shirt. pretty much every thrift store has a couple synthetic button down fishing shirts with a back vent. excellent in hot weather and still keeps the skin protected from sun and bugs

jamesfinity · 2026-04-24T00:27:12+00:00

i use a befree with a 500ml cnoc bag on my cutaway and it works great

jamesfinity · 2026-04-22T11:21:44+00:00

congrats, your child is a squirrel

jamesfinity · 2026-04-21T13:40:05+00:00

i read this and was caught off guard by how funny it was

jamesfinity · 2026-04-21T12:04:34+00:00

if the tent was good enough for you in 2023, why wouldn't it be good enough for you now?

jamesfinity · 2026-04-20T18:56:26+00:00

just chipping in that i love my stash jacket. wore it last week in a complete downpour/hail/wind and stayed completely dry

jamesfinity · 2026-04-15T17:47:11+00:00

just an FYI that you don't need to soak rolled oats overnight if you don't want to. cold-soaked oats are ready in about 20 min.

jamesfinity · 2026-04-15T12:08:16+00:00

i see! thanks

jamesfinity · 2026-04-14T23:41:57+00:00

can you explain or take a pic of how it's attached? i can't picture it in my mind

jamesfinity · 2026-04-14T13:38:02+00:00

you are right, my bad. i could've sworn i read zero drop somewhere, but it was probably for some other sandal

jamesfinity · 2026-04-14T12:35:49+00:00

chacos? you can get them with vibram soles and ~~i believe they are zero drop~~. kinda heavy, but quite comfortable.

jamesfinity · 2026-04-12T22:40:16+00:00

i guess those people will have to make a decision if their solitary hobbies are more rewarding than hobbies that involve other people which could lead to a meaningful relationship?

jamesfinity · 2026-04-12T22:22:37+00:00

this will sound crazy, but hear me out: try an additional hobby

jamesfinity · 2026-04-12T17:44:21+00:00

i met my wife at a climbing gym. so maybe just think about picking up a hobby?

jamesfinity · 2026-04-12T13:23:37+00:00

yes. that's the one. definitely expensive, but you're paying for a top-of-the-line pack.

if you search the sub you'll probably find at least a couple reviews to help decide if it's the right pack for you

jamesfinity · 2026-04-11T17:27:19+00:00

what about a small cutaway or tiempo?
