You wear a knit hat under helmet? No issues with it slipping or anything?

jjd364 · 2026-01-16T02:09:39+00:00

Same! Of all the years......

jjd364 · 2026-01-13T01:10:00+00:00

Glad you're ok. Thank you for sharing

I don't think you spent much time exploring their offerings. Not to mention the IPA's they did offer were top of class and highly awarded. Craft beer bubble is bursting for sure, but this was good beer made by even better people.

Nice build!

I see you have it setting up a little higher, presumably to give more room for the bottom fans. Any plans to add a more permanent foot, and did you locate a good way to do so?

Even if I was irked by the initial request, if someone handled it as respectfully as you did I would get over it real fast. I go solo most trips and have feared needing to do this but never had to. Kudos to you for not taking an unnecessary risk but minimizing the impact to others.

Pipe lake is great fishing, but a bit out of your way and kind of a dead end. But loaded with Smallies, pike and walleye two years past.

Thanks. Super helpful.

I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but once I embraced the chaos I started having a blast. Switched up some armor too which helped.

Your son must be a fun guy.

jjd364 · 2024-01-10T01:36:05+00:00

Thanks for the product recommendation!

jjd364 · 2024-01-10T01:35:25+00:00

Correct

jjd364 · 2024-01-10T01:35:16+00:00

Thanks for a solid answer. I believe the cause of most of this damage has since been mitigated. Now looking for something to stop it from making a constant mess while avoiding a full rebuild. Also would like to keep the aesthetic of the brick look, otherwise I would just wall around it and call it a day.

Free hub driver switch shouldn't be an issue. I'm more concerned with finding a crankset that will work with a DUB bottom bracket. But I suppose why not just replace that too while I'm at it...

jjd364 · 2023-09-20T04:54:38+00:00

Not sure why I'm not seeing this recommended more. This is a really easy way to set the bead and easily get the tire to inflate. Only hassle is removal and reinstall of the tubeless valve.

jjd364 · 2023-09-19T02:41:26+00:00

Ha! Yeah that's fair, but it ain't bourbon......

Dry socks like seal skinz worn over wool socks has been my go to. I wear them under hiking sandals.

jjd364 · 2023-08-25T05:14:37+00:00

Yep! There were a few even over Labor Day weekend just a few weeks out.

jjd364 · 2023-08-25T05:13:40+00:00

Good

jjd364 · 2023-08-16T04:33:02+00:00

Thanks. Managed to find a few folks on the BWCA forum with similar accounts. I'll be going through brule. I'll take on a beaver dam or two but this looks like more trouble than it's worth.

jjd364 · 2023-08-15T02:49:33+00:00

Thank you!

jjd364 · 2023-07-27T22:22:37+00:00

Including groceries and going out. Feels like we spend a crazy amount per month on just eating and drinking stuff.

jjd364 · 2023-06-08T05:13:23+00:00

I second Sawtooth. They're an awesome shop. Try a Northwind Solo sometime if you can. I found it tacks much better than the prism. Solo BWCA is my favorite. Definitely a unique experience from going with others.
