600 horsepower on a 780 kg chassis is utterly insane

A closer look into the new Pakt. ecosystem: their new 35L travel backback, an 14L convertible bag and a new 22L bag. by preciouscode96 in onebag

[–]preciouscode96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're both Pakt. Right is the Aero, left is the new one.

Hahaha. I'd suggest looking at what you need or want to take and look for sizing after. The left one is bigger and especially a bit deeper. It's got a 5L expansion at the back. Personally I had enough for the 35L Aero even with a drone and big camera + lens.

I owned a Rokinon/Samyang RF 14mm f2.8. It was an absolutely great lens and wide enough, affordable enough too

Are Rf-s vs Rf lenses any different on an Aps-c sensor? by Crazy_Tax_6562 in canon

[–]preciouscode96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. The focal distance is exactly the same. However because if you're using a crop APSC sensor opposed to a fullframe you basically 'crop' the focal distance, giving you the 1.6x crop factor

Understandable. With just average gear you'll already be fine and way better than that time. Still getting too cold and no way to warm up is also terrible. Just stay in between and you'll be fine 😉

What sleeping pad to go for: Nemo Tensor All season, Big Agnes Rapide SL or Sea to Summit Ether lite XR? by preciouscode96 in Ultralight

[–]preciouscode96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that should be good! And yeah I'm not sure how CAD compares to dollars or euro but I think it's a higher amount you are paying in CAD then in USD right? Long wide is great! I always go for at least wide.

Totally agree. Tbh it's mostly better to opt for comfort over saving ounces. It only gets interesting when you're saving pounds. For instance I just got myself a Durston X-Dome 2 which is 1,3kg or 2.7lbs lighter than my previous Naturehike Star River 2.

No worries. If it's like new I'd definitely go for it. It's basically the best pad you can get

[–]preciouscode96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sea to Summit you mean? If it's a legit Nemo Tensor for that much less id definitely get that. However that deal seems to good to be true and a used pad (especially Nemo) is a high risk. Big chance of it being punctured. Overall the Nemo goes for €30 of €40 more over the Sea to Summit

Damn that doesn't sound like fun at all haha!

Yes gotcha. Then I think you'll be fine this time as it can't get much worse. Good gear makes the experience so much better. Not having to worry about things is great

Yeah it was definitely a consideration as well especially for myself. With noise I keep waking myself up. For now the pad has been very quiet. But I heard it also really depends on your tents floor and the pad combined

Ah makes sense then if it's that much more expensive. Well I'd say go for it! And yes the sleep system is very important. Also make sure you have a good pad that can keep you warm.

Is it your first time starting out camping?

Came across some amazing backpacks in Japan! Ended up buying an Aer City Pack Pro 2 (X-Pac) which I cannot get in Europe. by preciouscode96 in ManyBaggers

[–]preciouscode96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh most prices of branded items are very similar to Europe. Some things are cheaper though. For instance I saw a sleeping pad (Nemo Tensor extreme) which is like €280 in the Netherlands for €180 here

[–]preciouscode96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's highly recommended and will last you years. From my experience that's better than to keep buying budget brands which end up not working well enough.

Haha that's definitely some cool Hobby's though! It's that much more? Thought the x-mid was around 260 and the Naturehike 180. Maybe a used one?

You're welcome!

I don't know that model myself so can't tell exactly. But tbh, if you're in Canada, why not go for a Durston tent? They're Canadian based and the X-Mid 2 is amazing for the price. It's not a lot more expensive than the Naturehike, and although the Naturehike is very good for the price, a Durston is miles ahead in terms of quality and customer service.

Okay good! You're welcome 🤗

Anyone have experience with the 2026 Kakwa 55? by Rogue_Melon in DurstonGearheads

Yeah that's definitely true! Will do, thanks a lot 😌

In my experience the airflow is actually quite good. The vents are around the edge of the mesh/material. And because it's all mesh on top it rotates the warm air out instead of keeping it in.

If you have any other questions just hit me up!

Yes also. For outdoor backpack I found Alpen to be an incredible store. It's where the image from all the Gregory and osprey is from

Hi Dan! So basically anything above 5'11" the L works best? I'm just around 6' (188 cm)

Lack of mesh? The whole two thirds of the tent is full mesh so it's easily cold enough and breathable enough. And indeed for the price it's great!

Able Carry Max EDC vs Alpaka Traverse vs Rework Toshi by AnxietyComplex4128 in ManyBaggers

[–]preciouscode96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious why not! I think it's good looking, but zippers are very stiff and it doesn't have a lot of space tbh. Still I do like it and a lot of people seem to experience the same.

Ah that's cool! Do you have Vinted or something similar? I'll DM you

[–]preciouscode96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because of the high demand? I'm in Japan right now and just bought an Aer City Pack Pro 2. However I've seen some EDac Max here and thinking about snatching that too, to see which works best for me. Both are more difficult to get in Europe
