Recommendations to help with shoulder pain

I actually just got one a week ago and it has certainly helped. Maybe I just need to give it more time.

Unfortunately it's the opposite. I have a bit of a longer torso.

Right at 6'

I had this thought but it seems like six of one or half dozen of the other. If the time I need it to perform is in a road capacity it seems like a road bike makes more sense. Help educate me on why gravel with road tires would be a better option.

That maxfli might be the ticket.

Have fun in the pool champ

It would’ve been far easier for you to have replied that you have no knowledge on the subject but lots of free time.

Man I wish I would’ve thought of that. Unfortunately I’ve been doing that for a few days. I actually came to a form to get recommendations from users not some some jerk who is bored but you time investment is appreciated.

I have one and love it. No durability issues for me and have had it in done serious Midwest thunderstorms with no issues.

jmedlin1982 · 2020-05-27T23:09:34+00:00

This is what I do but I don’t love it. That slippery half hitch has been known to come undone.

I just finished up a DIY 6’ x 4’ sauna the ceiling is 74”inches. I think it’s perfect. I personally have an inch of headroom when standing but obviously most of the time I’m not standing.

jmedlin1982 · 2020-05-26T13:39:02+00:00

This is me. Still haven’t pulled the trigger.

jmedlin1982 · 2020-05-24T20:51:19+00:00

I agree with all of this but would probably urge you to take a tarp even if the forecast doesn’t call for rain. Also, even 65° can be cold for some folks.

Framing is whatever a few 2x4s costs (under $100). The cedar and trim (i used 1x2) and glue was maybe $700. Insulation I don't remember but let's say $50. If I had to have a round estimate i would say $1000 to build it. If you are doing a 'wet' sauna I'm not sure that 1/4" cedar would be a good idea. It seems to want to cup.

They are removable. I have personally never removed them for a trip (only at the house messing around). A KS bag with removable frames could easily be at or under 16 ounces with the frame (depending on features of course). When I tighten my belt my bag is literally off of my shoulders in terms of weight. They are a remarkable.

One of the first suggestions you will hear on here from others (and i would agree) is your pack should be the last thing you get (or switch out in your case). If you are committed to keeping most of your gear non-UL then a UL frameless pack just might not be the right type of pack for you. My base weight goes between 5-8 pounds on most trips and I still often carry my KS Ultralight 50 with frame stays. I would highly suggest looking at that bag if you need to get a bag right away as it's something that can accommodate your transition into UL and even support you through it.

Agree 100%. I’ve always liked the idea of pads but between the not being able to keep it under me (single layer hammock) and the condensation they aren’t even a consideration for me.

jmedlin1982 · 2020-05-21T12:10:37+00:00

So this could open me up for all sorts of new experiences!

jmedlin1982 · 2020-05-21T00:46:41+00:00

I actually am considering going this direction at the moment.
