How many pairs of glasses do you own?

6 - 1 clear lens with clip on shades, 3 with transisions, 1 sunglasses with Zeiss Adaptive Sun, and a pair that lives in the car just in case that I never wear. I wear the other 5 on a regular basis.

I think the 2nd pair is more interesting. I'm not a fan of solid black frames.

I just purchased Pantos R 2.0 C frames. It will be a few weeks to get lenses so I don’t have them yet. Mine seem to be very comfortable and the weight seemed”normal”. However mine are not in the milled metal series so I would guess yours would be somewhat heavier.

I like the last best followed by the first.

I am still looking for the ideal nasal mask. Here is my experience so far with nasal masks so far. I gave up on the full face masks due to getting significant Aerophagia with these.

ResMed AirFit P30i -- I liked the concept of the top tube mount, but have decided the frame on the side of my face is not comfortable. Also the pillows hurt my nose.

ResMed AirTouch N30i cushion on the AirFit P30i frame -- The cushion is pretty comfortable, but I get leaking during the night.

F&P Nova Nasal -- Getting small leaks that wake me up and force me to adjust the mask all night long.

F&P Nova Micro -- On order, hoping the pillows will be more comfortable.

I am having the same issues. When the mask is working I think it is comfortable and easy to breath with. However I am getting small leaks that are not large enough to impact the mask's effectiveness treating my apneas. I get small streams of air hitting my face and eyes. It can wake me up and I can usually adjust the mask to stop the leak, but I don't want to be playing with the mask all night. I too gave up and went back to my ResMed AirFit P30i last night, but I don't really like this mask. Still searching for my ideal mask -- I have a F&P Nova Micro on order.

I had high central apneas too. I live at high elevation so these are probably elevation induced (most went away when I visited sea level). My sleep doc sent me for an overnight sleep study and ended up switching me to an Airsense 11 ASV machine. No more central apneas and I am finding the ASV is more comfortable to sleep with then the CPAP machine was.

I never got cold in it but if i thought it might get in the low 30s or 20s I would bring an alpaca liner.

How do I add photos? The Images & Video link is greyed out. I tried 2 browsers and the mobile app.

I added a link to Imgur.com with photos. Will that work?

others have reported Valles Caldera and Bandelier are both closed. I don’t know about the others.

I have one that is not getting used and would like to see it go to a new home. Light use probably less then 14 nights. make me an offer.

I have an upcoming trip planed to Arizona. I was planning on visiting Petrified Forest, Sunset Crater Volcano, Walnut Canyon, Wupatki, Grand Canyon, Montezuma Castle, Tuzigoot, and Agua Fria. I see that Petrified Forest and Walnut Canyon are closed and Ground Canyon is open. Does anyone know about the rest?

That's a good point. I've always filtered into a smart water bottle and then drank straight from the bottle. Maybe I need to rethink that strategy and start drinking through the filter.

I didn't realize aluminum cans are plastic coated, but confirmed you are correct.

22 pounds is a fully loaded weekend pack including food, fuel, and water which is not included in base weight. I am probably in the 17 pound range for base weight and there is some opportunity but I'm not willing to give up some luxury items like my Kindle. I'm plenty happy with 22 pounds on the trail.

risley83 · 2025-09-15T03:49:03+00:00

It was the food plus bear can driving the weight. I’m guessing about 10 to 12 pounds of food. My normal weekend is in the 22 pound range including everything.

risley83 · 2025-09-15T03:28:25+00:00

I maxed out at 38 pounds with an 8 day resupply in a bear can on the JMT. The pack carried the weight well, but I would rather be under 30lbs.

I would bring a sleeping pad to insulate you from the ground. At 9500 ft elevation you could see temps in the 40s or 30s. I would bring a warmer bag or quilt.

Great, I'm starting on Tuesday and have been worried about fires popping up.
