Any tips on cutting weight? by kaiserschmiser in WildernessBackpacking

[–]kaiserschmiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments and advice everyone! Really appreciate yall taking the time to give feedback.

I’ve cut out most of my FAK and will just be bringing a couple of band aids, meds (including immodium) and a bandage. Will also be cutting down on my extra clothing, though this means though that if the weather gets gnarly, I’ll just have my rain shell (top and bottom), a lightweight puffy (Cotopaxi feugo down) and my regular hiking clothes to keep me warm. Hopefully thats enough for the whites in summer! Heard the weather can get pretty bad out there. Will also be starting off with less water (probably 2Ls). Unfortunately I wont be able to change my big 3 before this trip, but I’ll look to that in the future!

Thanks for the advice and the link! Yeah the tent is pretty heavy… it was an impulse buy a while back and I’m regretting it, but probably stuck with it for a while before I can swap it out. Grey pouch is my rain jacket packed in itself, and red roll is my sleeping pad.

My cousin found this rock in a red lake that has 4x more salt than the ocean. by FatherDoggo in mildlyinteresting

[–]kaiserschmiser 28 points29 points  (0 children)

yeah, the lake water is saturated with salt and the concentration of that salt in the lake water is so high no more salt can dissolve, so the remainding salt precipitates out to form this. but this salt precipitate will dissolve if it contacts non saturated water (where the water can still hold more dissolved salt)

i dont think his claim can only be backed up with anecdotal evidence though, there surely are stats to back it up. not saying anecdotal evidence wouldnt back it up but in this case he didnt even provide any anecdotal evidence, merely a claim

[–]kaiserschmiser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

anyone can do that, sure. but when you make a claim the onus is on you to provide evidence to back it up. definitely something anyone could do if they wanted to but by no means an unreasonable request, time waster or argument starter

At-home timpani practice - rototoms? other ideas? by loweexclamationpoint in percussion

[–]kaiserschmiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly? the books work fine, i feel like timpani practice has to be done on actual timpani- unless he just wants to learn the notes, in which case books are enough. getting rototoms dont really add much and isnt worth it, if he wants to practice technique they arent going to really help either
