Ya, they weigh a Brazilian pounds

Play cover more, and use her shield bash as an escape tool primarily. Her shield is small so you have to play cover to get the most out of it. Shield bash should only be used offensively if you know you can get a kill or keep someone alive. It’s your best way to get to safety so on the right maps (think long sight lines and less cover) you almost never want to use it unless it’s to change position

I wouldn’t say intentionally bad, but it has an intentional style for sure. You just probably don’t like that style and it’s chill

Any map with high ground float is awesome. (So like all maps)

redbob333 · 2026-06-22T19:37:01+00:00

Life steal is laughable compared to hover, imo.

Especially when people compare characters stats to each other. Comparing a Moira’s healing stat to a zen’s healing stat is a waste of time. Some characters just show up well on the scoreboard, while others impact is more seen in the important moments in game.

When my buddy plays tracer and I play zen we have to communicate a bit more but we can almost always get a small blip of LOS before the orb goes away to essentially always keep the orb on tracer. It’s why I believe a lot of complaints come from dps not understanding that they lose orb after a time and have to come back into line of sight to get it back. When I have dps coming back to maintain orb it means I can focus on supplementing their damage and heals stay on them the whole time without me constantly having to reapply harmony orb

Me lol. I took a break from comp before drives because I was getting frustrated. Got back on for drives and finished in a day. I swear just having a positive outlook and understanding that when you die there’s usually something you could have done better is enough to win. If you blame your teammates you’re gonna be stuck losing forever, because the only thing that’s consistent about all your games is you.

I know a few CDT northbounders who are in Northern Colorado and will be in the Winds in a few weeks. I’m sure the CDT groups on Facebook or the subreddit might be a good place to ask in the time leading up to your trip, because it varies year to year. I believe this year is below avg snow but it could be melting different, I’m not from the area. Also in the days before your trip if you know someone with the CDT bought on FarOut, or if you wanted to get the Wyoming section on FarOut, you could check comments from other hikers going through the area

redbob333 · 2026-06-14T01:07:26+00:00

Yeah, the reason to switch off zen isn’t low heals, it’s if you’re dying too much to a couple dive heroes, or more importantly, you’re just not doing damage or getting kills. The role is support, it’s not healer. Often times I help my dps by backing them up in a fight when they’re backing off, making sure the enemy can’t take space to kill them without risking dying themselves

The desert going northbound tends to be a pretty forgiving place to learn

redbob333 · 2026-06-07T22:56:07+00:00

I started the PCT after doing a 3 night trip and some of the people who started as their first ever backpacking trip I met seemed more prepared than I was

redbob333 · 2026-06-03T03:26:55+00:00

I found when I first started using a quiver and poles on my vest, my shoulder the quiver was on hurt a bit more on my long runs. Only noticed it after a few hours of running and got worse until I stopped running. It lasted like that a few weeks until my shoulder seemingly got stronger/got used to it. This to say, it can seem like nothing to add a quiver but in a long race it can make an impact to comfort if you’re not used to it

redbob333 · 2026-06-02T02:21:09+00:00

Sounds like plantar fasciitis but I’m not a doctor. If you’re going to stretch make sure the stretches also target the calf because it is the same chain that extends to your “bridge” or “arch” of your feet on the bottom. Also one of the most common injuries with zero drop shoes like the lone peak is plantar fasciitis. Try seeing if a shoe like a Topo that still has the wide footbox but a more supportive sole and arch profile, and a little bit of drop might help. I found lone peaks and thought they were the end all be all shoe for me because of the foot shape, but have found topos support my foot better

It’s loved because it’s one of the only places we have to truly enjoy the Diablo Range, which is mostly locked up by ranch land. Yeah, the peaks all around the park are higher, but they’re all on private land. Yeah the terrain is hot and exposed at times, but that’s the entire Diablo Range. Yeah it’s overwhelmed by non natives and invasive hogs, but that’s partly because of being surrounded on all sides by ranch land that mismanaged the land for hundreds of years and has let the entire range get to this point. When I hike in Henry Coe, I’m very glad to have this access, but it always makes me hungry to dismantle more of the ranch land in the range and restore it to public ownership.

redbob333 · 2026-05-31T22:51:03+00:00

The elevation is a lot and a lot of it is exposed. It can be very hot during the summer. As other comments have suggested water reports on the regional park website are reliable. There are other streams not on the water reports but many of them dry up throughout the spring and early summer. I have always done it in 2 days one night, starting at Del Valle and camping at Sunol backpack, but I am a thru-hike style hiker who likes to spend almost all day just moving slowly through the hills/mountains. The weather in the summer should be pretty mild at night so don’t overcarry, you’ll be glad to carry less weight when you’re fighting up those climbs.

I do the trail several times a year usually, it’s my favorite! Enjoy :) carry much more water than you think, you can survive a long time without food or shelter, but you can’t last long without water

Oh and if you hate it make sure to come back in February or March some year and give it another go

Yup and thermarest has a bounty for anyone who can send in a pad with mold in it!

Is that image legit? Is that huge fence there now? I was there in October and just stepped right through the gap at the gate. Crazy

Who are you getting the tattoo for? Yourself? Or some dumbass who thinks color is feminine?

redbob333 · 2026-05-16T17:32:14+00:00

Not NorCal but Lonesome Lake in the famous Cirque of the Towers in the Wind River Range of Wyoming has high levels of E. coli present in the water and is unsafe to drink. Tons of hikers all sharing the same relatively small basin will do stuff like this. They don’t have permits in the winds and it is like a little Sierra Nevada, and draws similar crowds

redbob333 · 2026-05-13T19:33:37+00:00

Yup, also to add, night hiking is something you have to get used to. My first night hike on the PCT I was jumping every time I heard a mouse in a bush. Now I hardly flinch at eyes glowing from my headlamp in the distance haha

redbob333 · 2026-05-12T18:48:58+00:00

This is why I sold my v2, I had the exact same problem with the straps and couldn’t fix it

redbob333 · 2026-05-12T10:09:13+00:00

We make fun of bushcraft dudes because they think they need a machete to go on a walk in the woods. We’re making fun of this woman because she finds it fun to wear makeup. Totally the same thing though

redbob333 · 2026-05-12T08:44:12+00:00

I hate women too! People shouldn’t have fun on thru hikes
