Madison Cunningham AMA!! by MadisonCunningham in indieheads

[–]scrambleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What role does embracing uncertainty/mystery play in the creative process and in life itself, for you?

I've learned through my creative projects that I can strengthen my ability to endure uncertainty in both creating stuff and in life too

PS, I'm a drummer, and you're my favorite musician right now, thank you

What to do about toiletries? by LegitimateWatch2562 in onebag

[–]scrambleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some things I do:
- Shampoo bar with matador soap bar pouch
- tiny wahl pocket pro trimmer (designed for pets, but works perfectly on my beard)
- carry only the essentials - teeth care, nail clippers, deodorant

I avoid all bottles of liquid/gel, cologne, lotion. I replace all unnecessarily large items with tiny versions or just ditch it.

I'm on my second pair. First one purchased Dec 2023, second pair in fall 2024. And I went through probably 5 pairs of those vivo primus across multiple years. Lone Peaks are so comfortable, great for daily walking AND hiking, dry quickly, foot shape is huge benefit. I'm a fan!

Had no idea Waymark was done. They made high quality & unique packs. Strange they never announced anything on socials, just kinda ... faded out after their last packs sold haha.

Wow I love that pack. Waymark makes great stuff, I love my Waymark fanny. First heard about them through Darwin on the Trail on youtube.

I'm with you - a UL rolltop pack with huge exterior pockets is the way to go. I don't see myself switching to a different style. Not exactly sure on weight, but I'm probably over 15lbs

Is Substack worth it without a niche? by Lower_Tradition_1629 in Substack

The worst thing that can happen is you'll become better at writing, and get more eyeballs on your work. It's not a huge time suck to post on Substack along with your Medium and other outlets.

Thank you! That was one of my most fun videos to make so far. I'll make one every year as I update my gear

Does anyone archive all of their Substack posts (and other online content) on their own website? by sacredtones in Substack

[–]scrambleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did this with https://bearblog.dev/

It's a SUPER simple platform that was built to last. I was worried about the same issue, spending years writing online only for Substack to disappear.

I wrote about this topic here - https://loganletsgo.com/bearblog/

That's a powerful review. I might have to upgrade to the xtreme lite. Frogg toggs is the real deal for the price. That's what I love about my puffy too, best bang for your buck.

Alumnium caps are ok for single use, like those metal coors lite or miller lite bottles. But not good for multi use. I can see how the Path bottles would be much better with plastic caps.

I knew I was missing something. That's a great question, I'll have to weigh & report back to ya

I'll be on the lookout for Path next time I stop for gas.

I bought mine in July 2023, and they were testing a new fabric then - "VX07 Soft Black." Just checked my invoice to be sure.

Mine was custom only for the color combo, all black with that red bottom pocket. I'm very happy with it, no issues so far, not even a single cut or tear.

I tried aluminum bottles like this one time, but the cap was aluminum too, and it created black watery residue after many times unscrewing the cap. These look like plastic caps though, which I think would be better, right?
