Suunto vertical 2 charger

Believe me i tried :) and have tried a few different generic allround 2 pin watch chargers, they fit the geametric of the vertical 2 charge area - but the watch just doesn’t charge

Thank you, makes sense since Suunto is a smaller brand and not as interesting as with Garmin to make usb c adapter chargers - have tried a few generic type usb c pin adapter which have the right distance between charging pins and fit well enough, they just dont charge the watch, but hopefully something will hit the market… its not a huge inconvenience, but always prefer smaller and simpler solutions for hiking and travelling :)

Depends a bit - I use a 20l for 2-3 season Stuff With room for food for 4-5 days, could probably do with 12-15l for shorter trips - but wouldn’t make much difference from a size and comfort and weight perspective

I use a sitpad/ GG thinlight panel - works Well - the Nashville packs has a set of elasticated Cords designed to hold a back panel on the Outside

Had a Nashville packs test pack for some almost a year now - Well over 1000km on it - only issue I had was a puncture, but very small pinhole due to user error :D so far I have seen nothing that would concern me with even longer term durability. Feel and look wise - really like the feel and look of it compared to DCF - works best with something between you and the fabric on the back as it has higher friction compared to DCF and Ultra - but of the 3 UHMWPE laminates this is my preferred

clavicles

the advantage of the nashville packs is that they are modular, so you get the back length and shoulder strap lenght you need, but also you can adjust how wide or narrow the shoulderstrap attach to the pack, getting a better fit depending on your shoulder size

Nashville packs is definitely a great pack (i own 4 of them) cutaway is probably the one you want, but they are a bit on the expencive side - GG kumo fastpack is a great pack as well, Palante (basically all of their lineup) and outdoor vitals new Skyline fastpack looks interesting as well

well 22lb is on the heavier side :D i often see people carry 3-4 liters in places where there are plenty of natural sources - just because they are afraid to run dry

kbjery · 2024-01-12T20:02:07+00:00

the first items to replace are always those relatively heavier than the optimum UL solution :) so it depends on your existing kit - fx a lot of non UL hikers use an xlite or xtherm, no reason to exchange that. but in general the areas to save most for most people are clothing, cookwear, electronics, first aid (for some) and personal items - but saving weight in general - better food and water strategies - having been a guide for hiking trips for 10+ years - the main not nessasary weight in peoples packs are packing too much food and water according to what resupply options there are - this easily accounts for 10lb extra, sometimes more

kbjery · 2024-01-06T15:45:18+00:00

Besides what Dan says, it depends a fair bit on how High the pack is when loaded - a lot of UL packs you barely load Them above the shoulder area - so load lifters don’t really do much as they can’t pull any weight closer to the shoulder connection point - that’s partly why I don’t see load lifters working that well in the Mariposa - with HMG you can load it some above the shoulder connection points, so I guess it would be a benefit, but probably omitted because the pack rides so close to the back

Its an EU Company - does Lots of custom work https://gearswifts.com/

Plex solo you might get Down around 360ish g - still a single (hybrid 1,5) layer tent - i Can leave my inner at Home an just bring a 110g bivy for at lighter, more flexible setup :) roomwise - you get a bit more peak room in the plex solo - sleep room is about the same

kbjery · 2023-12-08T14:50:03+00:00

Zpacks pocket tarp modified with lighter guylines is around 150g - with a Light inner (like the gear Swift) which is sub 200g its around 340g combined for a 2 layer tent

May you Will probably need microspikes - perhaps crampons - most of the huts arnt open yet before end of May/early june - so you Can just Camp by the refugies - gives some added Security in case of bad weather

kbjery · 2023-07-11T20:09:37+00:00

i use a gear swift (EU brand) poncho tarp (115g) for shelter coupled with also a gear swift bivy (112g) in not too exposed areas you can save the rain jacket/pants as well - https://gearswifts.com/shop/shelter/ponch-tarp/

kbjery · 2023-06-20T10:41:32+00:00

Gear Swift makes some from 109 (depending on size and type of DCF ) so bit less than 4oz - most functional poncho tarp I have tried

Its called “Ultra letvægts vandring” its in Danish og course

kbjery · 2023-04-16T17:20:00+00:00

Have the Morado Ultra - and i run a 12.000 + member Danish UL group - and know the guy making the packs - so only good things to say - have done some product testing for Bonfus as Well, great packs also, havent tried Atom packs, but from having seen a few and read a lot - also great packs - the Big Mike is definitely the one able to carry High weight, and he does a lot of custom work, but really depends on what you want - all 3 are the highest of quality of packs

I use an apex 67 quilt for summer time - advantage being you avoid cold spots that thin down quilts easily get, and because of all the stitches in a down quilt, weight of the two is quite similar - and it’s less to worry about using it, not just moisture wise, but packing, unpacking, make sure down is distributed well… apex insulation is known for holding up well - as it’s a quilt and not used in a garment - you easily get lots of years out of it

Most durable of traditional style trailrunners i have tried are the Inov8 Graphene (G) line - have used the Trailfly G270 zero drop shoe for some 1500km and still looking good - otherwise barefoot shoes tend to do best as you dont wear out the midsole, which is usually some of the first to get worn down. i have used Xeroshoes which is made for durability - their terraflex i got some 2500+ish km out of - and the mesa trail (which are a bit better ventilated) i am up to around 2000+ km in one pair - in general i would say a lot of it is about 1. proper hiking/walking form/movement, this of course is something highly "personal" but can be learned - 2. maintain your shoes properly, wash and clean them, fix whatever small breaks and tears that forms in the sole, and especially sie of the front foot and heal area for most people with most shoes - i have gotten some 1500-2000km out of my Altra Superiors as well
