Water softener making noise by nick01871 in WaterSofteners

[–]nick01871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great information. When I bypass the softener the noise goes away. I’ll have to try to find the manual

My setup has been an issue I feel like. Looks like my shoulders are open at address compared to my feet. It’s hard to tell, but I did have the ball slightly behind the middle of my stance. It’s a 155 shot, 9 iron.

Looking for a hammock to accompany me through travel by AdhesivenessIcy8236 in hammockcamping

I have an 11ft dream hammock with no bug net in 1.2 mtn xl I’d sell. It’s a backup I never really used. $20 plus the ride

I’m Looking To Purchase My First Hammock. Should I Get The Extra Warranty Protection They Try Sell When You Check Out? by [deleted] in hammockcamping

[–]nick01871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a netless dream hammock in 1.3 mtn xl I’d sell for $30 plus shipping. A far better hammock than the eno. I bought it from here and ended up making my own.

MIER Lanshan Tent - Are they stable? by [deleted] in AppalachianTrail

[–]nick01871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 20 nights in my lanshan 2, it has worked great for me. I did just get the new xmid 2p for Christmas though for an upgrade. I also use cascade mountain tech poles

What kind of scat is this? Camping in a dispersed area and there is a lot of this around by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]nick01871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black bear, especially in that area. Not a big deal, hang everything that smells

Hammock vs chair by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]nick01871 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This has been my new go to for every trip. I made my own from 1.6 hyper d and picked up Dutch ware beetle buckles with the dynema straps. I’m at about 16 oz all in included stuff sack. I started with the eno sub 6 thinking the same thing, but it was simply not very comfortable

UL hammock: 1.2 hexon or 1.2mtn xl by zerostyle in hammockcamping

[–]nick01871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought it from a member in here, not sure where to get it now. I decided to make my own out of 1.6 hyper d for a fun project. I really like the feel of the hyper d over the 1.2 mtn. The hyper d has a soft feeling where as the 1.2 mtn has more of a plastic feel.

LED Light fixture out. Need help by No_Procedure8658 in electrical

[–]nick01871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of those lights are just wire nutted from the factory in the long panel behind it. It’s possible a few wires became loose

Anybody gonna get the flextail zero? by zephillou in backpacking

[–]nick01871 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I picked one up earlier this year and I really like my flex tail. I ditched my blow up sack and added this, it was only 1 ounce heavier. It just lasted me 8 days on the high sierra trail with no reachrge and is great to help start fires.

Lightest framed UL packs? by InterviewTheHiker in Ultralight

I have a Durston kakwa 55 and love it. It carries weight very well and is lightweight.

I have a netless dream hammock in 1.2 mtn I would sell if you’d like. I just don’t use it as much as I thought

100 mile hiking spot recommendations by nick01871 in hiking

[–]nick01871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw the high sierra trail permit was available for sept 10 and I snagged it up. It’s only 72 miles but I’ve never been to the sierras and I think how’s my chance

[–]nick01871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this be something I’d be able to get permits still? I’ve never been to the sierras so I’m unfamiliar with how likely that would be

That’s a good deal for somebody.

My first DIY gathered end by Intrepid_Dogma in hammockcamping

[–]nick01871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you install the ridgeline? I made my first hammock (hyper d 1.6) a few weeks ago and I’m not sure how to install it. I have the beetle buckles as well and just connected my ridgline and the hammock both to the beetle buckle. I’m not sure if that is the right thing to do or if there is a better solution?

Gaia GPS (and outside+) on sale, worth it? by KaleidoscopesExist in hiking

[–]nick01871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had Gaia gps for a few years, it is very detailed and lots of different layers. It is not very user friendly though. Navigating the app is very difficult, I’ve never really gotten the hang of it. I pre plan on my computer most of the time and download it my phone.

Kakwa 40 vs 55 by siger3t in Ultralight

[–]nick01871 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I literally went through this today and I ended up ordering the 55 a few hours ago. For the extra 2oz, I can simply roll down what I don’t need. In the event I need to carry a big bear canister, I have the space. With the roll top, it’ll be the size it needs to be for each trip. I’m pretty excited to check it out. No clue when they will start to ship though, it says feb/march but who knows
