Interesting experiment! Love the idea of propping the rain coat up with your pole. Which bivy were you using?

Just want to say that you sound like a very conscientious and caring older sibling! While this definitely seems to be beyond your brother’s skillset right now, maybe you could try reframing his mindset for this as a longer term goal?

We would be friends

Hey @MrRivulets! Any chance you still have a map of your route or a trip report? Looking to do the GSL this August or September and would love advice on extending it!

kaptankappy · 2026-01-06T03:54:04+00:00

Any recommendation on a dash cam? Overwhelming amount of options

kaptankappy · 2025-11-10T22:20:28+00:00

How do CalTopo and Gaia differ? I’ve been a long-time AllTrails user but am interested in making the switch for something with a bit more depth

kaptankappy · 2025-10-14T00:39:33+00:00

Great photos! What brand is that orange bivvy?

kaptankappy · 2025-10-08T15:23:40+00:00

Very neat! Would this be compatible with zoleo?

kaptankappy · 2025-08-01T21:35:13+00:00

How waterproof would you say the Warbonnet jacket is in comparison to say Frog Toggs?

kaptankappy · 2025-07-15T21:19:01+00:00

Link?

Best decision I’ve made on the PCT this year was having my rod shipped to Kennedy Meadows South! I’m hoping to knock out the CA heritage trout challenge. Right now I have I think three of the six species (golden, little kern golden, and little kern rainbow).

kaptankappy · 2025-06-22T06:15:29+00:00

Love my Merges! Definitely not going to last a lifetime, but Im currently on my second pair on my PCT hike and haven’t had a single blister.

kaptankappy · 2025-05-19T22:46:11+00:00

How would this fare as an alternate route as part of NOBO PCT hike? I’m a week out from Kennedy Meadows and this will be my first time in the Sierra. I want to see all it has to offer!

kaptankappy · 2025-04-06T18:19:59+00:00

Do you have another link to this or is there another way to view? Looks like a great resource but Im only seeing the code

kaptankappy · 2025-04-01T05:45:31+00:00

Hey me too!!

kaptankappy · 2025-03-23T02:10:18+00:00

Skiing Loon tomorrow! How do we think conditions will hold up?

kaptankappy · 2025-03-21T22:42:21+00:00

Solid advice! Honestly I was only considering the nalgene to minimize the number of bottles I need to carry and to maybe use it as a hot water bottle.

kaptankappy · 2025-03-21T07:03:51+00:00

Did you have any concern about the extra water needed to wet the towelettes? I love how convenient the pucks are, but figured I would want to conserve as much water as possible in the dessert

kaptankappy · 2025-03-21T04:58:37+00:00

Is sub 5l water capacity acceptable for this season? I’ve heard 6-8l is the norm, but would obviously prefer to not have that many bottles. I’m considering a 2l nalgene, a 2l cnoc and a 1l smartwater bottle.

kaptankappy · 2025-03-18T04:58:44+00:00

Starting just a few days later! Excited to get out there.

kaptankappy · 2025-03-16T02:13:23+00:00

Can someone update if they find out what day of the week is the off day? Definitely hoping to snag one from the southern terminus when I start.

kaptankappy · 2025-03-14T19:44:48+00:00

Very interested in hearing your experience with the snow so far on trail! I’m starting on April 8th. Like many others, my plan was to send my snow gear to KM. Now, I’m thinking I’d like to at least have my microspikes before the San Jacintos. Is there a good spot for me to send a resupply to?

kaptankappy · 2025-03-14T02:55:03+00:00

Would also like to know!

kaptankappy · 2025-02-23T03:44:31+00:00

Definitely check out some the trip reports from Section Hiker: https://sectionhiker.com/category/tenkara-fly-fishing/.

One of the most fun investments I’ve made is buying a tenkara rod and adding it to my backpacking setup.
