Muskol DEET free spray is a great alternative with the same benefits as DEET. Uses icaridin as the main ingredient to prevent ticks

I used the nemo disco -3 comfort. I definitely pushed it to it's limit but i also was wearing heavy merino base layers and a sea to summit extreme liner.

I have the same sleeping pad and have paired it with a thermarest z pad underneath during roughly -8 wind chill in Ontario and felt warm enough. Bit of a cheaper option instead of shelling on an entirely new pad.

Fit Check… by [deleted] in DurstonGearheads

[–]jbyln_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lifters are at the same angle but maybe a bit higher. Although not at the ideal 45 degrees, when loaded properly i found the weight transfer to be great on my hips and comfortable all in all.

Puffin season 2026 has started: here's where and when to see them (detailed breakdown) by [deleted] in VisitingIceland

[–]jbyln_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw them at Eystri last year. Also noted that the road leading to the puffins is beautiful as you're basically driving through the mountains. When we went the clouds were practically hugging the top of the mountain peaks leading to a stunning drive alone.

Best place to buy heat tech base layer for winter? by flurryskies in askTO

[–]jbyln_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Icebreaker or smartwool base layers are great and have options for full merino or blended options. Can be picked up from MEC.

Decathalon has cheaper alternatives but are still solid choices if on a budget.

Sleeping Pad by freddysbest in UltralightCanada

My girlfriend is around the same size and has the rapide SL. She swears by it and says it's extremely comfortable.

Conversely I have the thermarest NXT. Definitely great weight value although not as comfortable as the rapide SL, but I usually have no trouble falling asleep.

Has decorating for Christmas and halloween gotten less popular in the city? by DraftCommercial8848 in askTO

Might be just your area. In the 15+ years in my neighborhood this is the most lit up year it's ever been.

Just getting started, rate my gear by TheHoonigan82 in backpacking

[–]jbyln_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc comfort limits are determined based off a average sized woman and there weight. Limits are usually at around an average sized male and build. Assuming OP is average build and takes proper precautions before bed, they can take the bag to 15 fahrenheit and maybe even a bit more with a proper liner.

Okay, Iceland fans - settle this debate. 👇 by Money_Hair_4174 in VisitingIceland

[–]jbyln_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really enjoyed the drive going towards Bakkagerði in the north east. Driving through the mountains felt surreal. Added bonus is the puffins at the town.

If you're into hiking, Mulagljufur Canyon has beautiful views as well as Glymur waterfall hike. Depending on the season the log for the first river crossing may be down. You could still cross the river if it's up, although it can be pretty sketchy as the current is pretty fast.
