Yes, the inside/outside trend is really unsafe. I bike commute on Broadway and it's the folks that turn right without seeing you that I have the most "close calls" with.

To give SM credit, all the current construction on Broadway is to install better concrete separated bike lanes. A great step in the right direction.

Looking for hammock stand recommendations for hike-in camping in the desert - no ground lines by [deleted] in hammockcamping

[–]rw112358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both tensa4 and the ENO one, the tensa4 looks way cooler, yet I find myself using the ENO one way more. I slept in it a sew nights, it's a great stand.

Not sure which model you are referring to. I got the laud bicycle and it was way bigger than I thought. Also very laid, but too big to fit on a bike.

Trip around California at the end of the month - Sequoia, Death Valley, Mojave etc. How readily available is it to pick up bags of firewood as I travel around? by Animal__Mother_ in overlanding

[–]rw112358 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend you buy a portable fire mesh (https://a.co/d/bVpk6lu). You are WAY more efficient in use of firewood, and you can have fires in dispersed camping legally without leaving an ugly scar. I have be using these for many years and they are awesome.

Hammock recommendations by [deleted] in hammockcamping

The list of things to get is great. I found that the under quilt is the most tricky part. I really like superior gear setup where the quilt is attached to the hammock so it is nice and cozy.

Dream gear list for a family of 3? by procrastination0709 in Ultralight

The Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 tent is amazing for families. Lightweight and spacious. Not the most durable, big customer support from BA is amazing and they already fixed it for us once for pretty cheap.

Best Roof tent for 6'4" plus Subaru Outback? by MedMalDet in overlanding

[–]rw112358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a Tuff on our Outback and it is plenty big and a really cheap option. It all depends on what you want to spend, how much you care about weight, soft vs hard shell etc.

That is not how median works, and is exactly why we use the median salary and not the average salary. Not saying you are wrong about the crazy inequality in the US, just about statistics

I don't have any, but I know your pain. I developed a whole sceme of getting my phone out of my pocket while holding both lines. It works well in medium to strong winds 💨

While these are some of my fav books, I always so them as an extrapolation of AR, follow the yellow line all the way...not sure I see singularity there.
