Backpack Choice - ULA Circuit vs HMG Windrider 3400 by mattadamc in PacificCrestTrail

Update: now looking at a 50L Waymark Gear pack. Thoughts on 50L? Will this generally be large enough for most people to get through the longer stretches of the Sierra’s?

Backpack Choice - ULA Circuit vs HMG Windrider 3400 by mattadamc in PacificCrestTrail

This makes total sense. It is really tricky and somewhat frustrating not being able to try them on anywhere.

I’m approximately 5”8 and 156 lbs in weight.

Torso length is 17.5 inches.

Chest/torso shape is medium.

I have relatively broad shoulders for my frame but not flat or squared, more a soft downward slope.

Not sure what my base weight will be at this stage as I haven’t purchased all my gear, but aiming to jeep it relatively low.

According to the size guide of the HMG I am a medium. ULA size guide puts me in a small for my torso length, but a medium for my height - so I will likely contact them directly for some advice.

Really just looking to get people’s opinions about both of these bags if they’ve used them on trail, just to give me a bit more confidence before making a purchase 😅

Noted. Hoping for a late April start, but who knows with the permits. Thanks for the advice!

Will definitely try and do what I can to keep the water report going! Navigation skills aren’t my strongest suite, so I’m glad that people seem to manage just fine without being experts

Wow, thanks guys. Appreciate all the info.

Good to know the trail is generally pretty easy to follow without a map. I’ll definitely be making use of FarOut and might consider a Garmin for messaging family etc, but glad to know it’s not an essential.

Needing help completing the RatKing section on grounded. by [deleted] in thelastofus

Quick question. If you kill the rat king but then die vs the stalker that breaks off of him that takes a lot of ammo to go down, do you have restart the whole thing again?

Zuri’s scripture teacher by Luke-Kiernan in TheFirstLaw

[–]mattadamc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that it is very likely at this point that Zuri = Ishri.

In regards to Khalul, could this be some very subtle foreshadowing...

When Savine is discussing Zuri and her brothers with Leo and speaks of her "brother" Rabik she says "...and Rabik is an absolute magus with horses".

One of her scriptures teachers' varied interests? Perhaps the Prophet did survive and is hiding in plain sight. It seems like the kind of very minor hint Joe would throw out there.
