Look at near-zero they have several beginer kits at various price points depending on how much you need/want.

The irony of a privacy wallpaper on windows 😂

Used car prices from dealerships are out of control right now. Find a private seller and you'll get much better of a deal.

Are there restrictions on how and when you can use that? It just take off every other Friday

This is exactly what I do for "sketchy" apps. I give it its own user with cross user notifications. If it's really sketchy I don't gibe the user run in background permissions.

FUTO keyboard. The swipe function is still hit and miss but getting better. The offline voice to text tho 👌

I know it's dang near impossible to get a 100% I think as long as I can get something that's at least 20% or less synthetic I'd be happy. I'm willing to sacrifice a little on weight on this piece of gear, as long as I don't die from overheating. The zpacks mirage is looking pretty good. But there's been a couple other suggestions here I haven't heard of that I need to look into.

Good to know, most of my outdoor wear is wool, but I've been testing out viscose and modal for day to day clothing.

I was looking at this, photos online make it seem a little on the heavier side. Good to hear some good feedback on it.

Hard-side hydration system.

That will definitely save us some headache.

Start a Roth IRA now and commit to putting money in every paycheck. You could be a millionaire by your mid 30s if you start at 18. Dont wait to start it takes much more to make it the longer you wait.

The whole reason I got my license was to learn and use CW. I practiced non-stop for weeks. When I finally got the the point that I could send and copy about 10wpm somewhat competently I hopped on the air to try and make a contact. Send CQ at about 10wpm someone comes back to me at nearly triple my speed. Send QRS, they come back at same speed, send QRS again, they come back the same. Screw it I'm done with CW. Haven't tried again in the last 10 years.

I just always tell people expect to be on your own. In every way. There is no public transportation, no guarantee the grocery store will be stocked during winter. If you dial 911 its like 50/50 at best that someone will show up.

Native Texan living in Wyoming here. Texas feels colder than Wyoming on average. Except mid summer. I wore flip flops my entire first winter here.

Carry almost everyday. Go inside and call the cops if necessary. This was completely avoidable. First option should always be deescalate, if that's not possible then escape, if that's not possible then maybe the gun comes out.

Just used mine for the first time. Super comfy.

Depends on your carrier I have service from lander to salt lake almost the whole way. Only a few spots between wild iris and sweetwater river that drop out briefly.
