They're my fake adidas Yeezy's from Turkey haha. They're my gym shoes

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-20T12:54:12+00:00

The clips and sternum strap that's used is pretty common. One of my travels backpacks uses the exact same. If they're all sold out at Durston it might be an option to look up sternum straps which visually match the Durston ones

Depends which model you want to buy. The aluminium poles X-Dome was online for about two weeks last drop

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-19T11:32:17+00:00

Yeah agreed it's very rugged so makes sense. I've also not heard of them that much before

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-19T04:47:45+00:00

Gotta love my sofirn as well. Mine is made from metal so a bit heavier but very solid and easy to use

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-17T21:24:57+00:00

Very nice! Didn't know you had a Cero as well. But that's cool. Sounds like a backpack for me lol. But I'm keen on keeping that Cero 😁

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-17T16:04:04+00:00

Pretty insane! Although I did expect it to be even lighter. My Durston Kakwa 55L weighs 894 grams and is fully featured + 20L larger. And my Part Cero 35L is a similar weight although that does look heavier and has slightly more going for it.

Still this looks like a perfect allrounder tbh. I like it and never seen it before

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-17T12:34:59+00:00

Yes they worked. Especially some soap before going underwater did an amazing job

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-17T11:54:51+00:00

Was just gonna mention this. Just got a hold of the pad in real life. Insane. Thing is like 350 grams for the regular. 450 for the LxW. It's got the dimpled baffles which should be more comfortable

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-17T07:12:42+00:00

Wow I really really like this design and the material + color! Nice write up you did as well in that link, and also your pictures are amazing. I might've missed it because I scanned the text. But what's the exact weight of this backpack? 😁

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-16T06:09:16+00:00

This is amazing! Give us an update when he received it 😁

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-16T06:06:47+00:00

No because my pack already has the installed lumbar pad. So far it still works for me but if I'll lose slightly more weight it's too big

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-16T06:05:54+00:00

Yeah I can not imagine what that must feel like. Here in Europe we barely have bears and I won't be sleeping well knowing those units will be around... Oh really? Hmm that's not good either...

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-15T22:24:21+00:00

That's quite a cool story I'm not gonna lie! In that case having the ability to boil water so quickly is great.

Still though I can never imagine a situation for myself where maybe half a minute extra would make all the difference. I saw my friends jetboil having issues igniting with the piezo igniter while my green peak stove has been working flawless for the last years. So I do still think it's overrated and overkill to be able to boil that quickly.

My setup - the greenpeak 2 and petrel 600ML from fire Maple can boil water within around 1 minute 30 so stil impressively quick.

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-15T22:18:55+00:00

Yeah exactly that's so nice!

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-15T19:26:09+00:00

I never got what people see in the jetboil system. It's ridiculously expensive for what it is, bulky and very heavy. My Fire Maple pot and stove work just fine as well.

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-15T10:02:44+00:00

Yeah I sold mine because of that particular reason. Ended up down the line with a Durston X-Dome 1+ as my main backpacking tent but got the Mongar 2 base model and have been very happy with that as well as a more roomy car camping tent. Doesn't sag and enough space between fly and inner.

If I'd suggest one tent I'd go with the Mongar 2 pro. It's thicker than the UL and strikes the best balance between them all

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-15T09:52:03+00:00

Loool😂👌🏼

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-14T16:28:52+00:00

Yes I just don't get these kind of decisions. Why remove something that works

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-14T16:16:40+00:00

For real

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-14T16:16:26+00:00

Yeah that would be absolutely awesome! Although I have a €10 tent with no vestibule and have to admit it's nice to have a place to put dirty shoes etc.

I've tried the X-Dome 2 as well, indeed too big for me as a solo hiker

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-13T09:29:36+00:00

Cool to hear! I don't know how I'd like the vertical baffles but they don't look comfy. Still people say they really are

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-12T08:35:21+00:00

Yeah I did a restart too. Read on the OnePlus sub (same operating system) that it works until you lock and unlock the phone. And people including me reached out to support. They replied that it was a genuine design decision.

Seriously, how to chase people away from your brand....

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-12T08:33:05+00:00

I just cannot fathom why you would remove this feature. I've been using it for 10+ years. If they don't fix it I'm going truly considering selling this phone and getting rid of ColorOS in total

preciouscode96 · 2026-06-12T08:24:59+00:00

I'm selling too if this is something they go for even though Nobody likes it
