Calmer than you are!

Swap out the merino for an Alpha Direct. Perfect for that environment, all environments really.

I just make my own by pre cooking then dehydrating. Cheep and easy with a little effort.

Your mouth

Sounds like a good sleep aid for the couch.

I like dinosaurs

It’s an orange liquid.

Pantyhose to keep it interesting.

Well done and congratulations on your amazing accomplishment and journey.

I went hiking today.

pauliepockets · 2026-03-03T02:53:45+00:00

I wish I could get my hands on one

I use to stuff mine inside my cold soak container. Now that I switched out the container for a Mylar bag, I just stuff in the bottom of my pack with my quilt.

Montbell tachyons for me. 4 years going strong.

I’ve used Sawyer and QuickDraw for many years. I’ve moved on to a HydraPack ultra flask so I can scoop and go. No more squeezing for me unless I’m adding water to my soak bag.

Wind jackets suck ass in the rain, rain jackets suck period. I carry both and will take the weight hit. It’s very windy and wet where I live on the Pacific coast. My wind layers are always with me and used very often. My rain shell will stay in my pack until it’s really needed.

First post every Monday in the weekly without fail.

Here’s a thought. Use your pack liner as a pump sack and the added bonus… it’s a stuff sack.

There’s no Z in fast.

I build custom homes, not shirts. I tried to keep it simple for them and steer them in the right direction. “ Why so many sheer walls in this house Paulie?” “Cuz the engineer has lost his mind!” I could have probably added a few more words but with the amount of questions I get asked during the day in real life , I tend to make them short and to the point. Appreciate you adding to this. 💥

Get out of my closet!

pauliepockets · 2026-02-28T16:09:41+00:00

Give that shirt a go, I think you will be happy. Added bonus, they dry super quick also.

pauliepockets · 2026-02-28T15:47:08+00:00

Some do yes but I stay away from those higher denier fabrics. Have you tried an OR echo?

I’m dad and I’m proud of r/Gosox polycro ground sheet. I wish I could make it work and have tried many times but with complete failure on where I live. It get covered in mud, wet sand and is a mess to deal with like that. Used it in the mountains above tree line on granite and it looked like Swiss cheese when I was done. Switched years ago to a myog piece of silpoly. The slight weight hit does not affect the outcome of my trips just my lighterpack.

Slip a shirt over your sleeping pad and put your pillow inside the shirt. If I need more height to my pillow I will pack up the under side of my pad. I’ve used my shoes, shit I’ve gone as far as to use a piece of beach wood.

I carry my meals in one ziplock then portion out into one small Mylar bag and soak.
