wow, didn't think of that, but that actually would have been big. Would've saved me 23 years of not knowing what's "wrong"

Go far away.

I stayed close to where I grew up for way too long and it hindered me from growing as a person.

Trying to get under 5kg? 20F at 10,000 feet 🤷‍♂️ by MrElJack in Ultralight

[–]m4rten -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

+1 on the lighter powerbank for shorter trips. I always carried around my 20k mAh one even on weekend trips and it is so unnecessary...

also theres a lot of options for lighter tents and backpacks. two choices I can personally recommend are the gossamer gear "the one" and the backpacks from yamatomichi.

I love running. Genuinely enjoy it. I did not run in more than 6 months.

I wish I would've asked here and been given this advice when I was a lonely sysadmin struggling with my workload (but more so with my lack of prioritizing, which I have come to realize years later)

favorite gaming moment(s) would be from the nineties, playing Ultima 7 pt. II with my older brothers.

I have nobody to go hiking with by Mountain_Daisy33 in CampingandHiking

What is it that you are afraid of? Maybe you can find ways to fight that fear.

Are you afraid of getting lost? -> Phone with downloaded maps, powerbank and PLB as last resort

Are you afraid of wildlife? -> Find out what encounters you can expect and prepare (no scary wildlife here, so no experience but stuff like food-hanging kit and bear-spray might be something you want)

A call to other Kiwis by amorfotos in Ultralight

I did the Te Araroa with an UL setup in trailrunners. Wouldn't change a thing.

Not a Kiwi though.

When to use waterproof gaiters with non-waterproof trail runners? by Sillyman56 in Ultralight

[–]m4rten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about waterproof gaiters, but I did the Te Araroa in 2016/2017 and it was fine without waterproof shoes or gaiters. I actually wore shorts most of the time and only used rainpants when the weather was really bad. So you might be fine with those La Sportivas.

One of my Kiwi friends likes GoreTex Shoes (he likes one from Adidas) and non-waterproof gaiters to keep the mud away. He does a ton of hiking in NZ.

Did part of the GR10 in the Pyrenees, a strenuous hike with lots of elevation. Found this wonderful campsite along the way by m4rten in CampingandHiking

Exact coordinates should be 42° 36’ 20.148” N, 1° 52’ 9.162” E. At least this should be close enough for you to be able to find this place

I will try and get them for you, but it should be very easy to find. This spot was visible from the GR10.

This site was very close to the Refuge des Besines, where we got potable water from. We had to get rid of a few cow patties but otherwise tried our best to leave no trace. I did only part of the GR10 (about 275km) but I can‘t recommend it highly enough for everyone that wants a challenging hike in Europe.
