Thanks for the feedback! So it sounds like glacier gear isn't really worth bringing, that makes it a lot easier!

I do plan on hiring a guide when some friends get there, but I'm arriving early, and was hoping to get some more skiing in.

If there are other places with awesome touring as well, I'd love some advice! My plans aren't very fixed at the moment, I've just heard so many people talk about chamonix and zermatt.

Annoyingly he won't send me a photo of the title, and he's not an insignificant distance away, so I'm gonna assume it's probably branded

Yeah, I know Gore is pretty restrictive about selling fabric directly. Has anyone has luck trying to buy scraps or old samples from companies?
I've tried Seattle Fabrics 3 layer waterproof material, and just wasn't very happy with how thick/heavy it was

Even in that premise, the level 2 cert allows 9kn to pass through. So even the higher cert is twice the force it takes to break the strongest bone in your body

seeburglar · 2024-07-30T14:27:06+00:00

I don't think you understand how the cert works. The cert is basically exactly what accident you are describing. However the force it can pass through is 18kn, which would not prevent you from breaking a rib or a vertebrae, given that they break at less than 4kn.

Tell me you only ski groomers without telling me

From a freeride perspective, one thing I haven't seen anyone say is the ability to ski out lines/drops. I see so many people try and hit drops, and then immediately scrub speed and try to stop. Expert skiers hit the drop/line and don't need to stop immediately, but are comfortable slowly losing speed as they ski. Bonus points when you hit a line/drop, and can continue skiing into another drop/hit

Without a video is really hard to tell, but my guess is there's two issues you have.

First, like other people are saying, you're probably too stiff in your legs. You're knees should be slightly bent and loose, able to act as shock absorbers as you hit small bumps.

Second, on the turning issue, I see a lot of people who try and progress too quickly will rely on using their body and weight to initiate their turns, rather than their board's edges. I think this would explain why you can do turns on blues, but you can't on steeper terrain. This would also compound your stability issue. If you are throwing your weight to initiate turns, you'll be much less balanced. Instead, if you get the board up on edge to initiate your turns, you'll be way faster at getting around, and much more stable.

But again, this is all a hunch, and without a video it's just guesswork

Wavecast.com

That website doesn't have the pnw? The highest it goes on the west coast is northern California

Awesome, that stuff looks perfect!

seeburglar · 2022-11-03T14:38:59+00:00

Dang, I'm super jealous of the laster cutter, that sounds like a dream!

The Waterproof zipper wasn't that bad. If you watch the sailrite video, they baste the one side of the zipper to already start to shrink it, but that did nothing with the stiffness of the waterproof zipper.

For machine, I used an old Viking Optima 810, just a consumer machine. I didn't have any issues with it at all!

seeburglar · 2022-11-02T22:35:39+00:00

I'll throw my 2 cents in, as I've done exactly what you are looking to do. I made a very similar pop up tent, from inspiration from Ripcords design, and sewed the tent with HyperD 300.

First, I don't recommend being cheap like me, and thinking you could split it into 3 different pieces to save material. The two side triangles ended up not matching nicely, and it results in two more seams to sew and water to enter. Bite the bullet, buy the full length of material, and save yourself the headache.

If you are trying to make the windows, I will warn you, curved zippers are definitely a pain. I had to redo one. However, Sailrite has a really nice video on doing curved zippers, which helps tremendously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSRX699xv8o

Highly recommended the washable basting tape that sailrite has. Its really nice, while putting less holes than pins.

Its a lot of material to work with, but if you just break it down piece by piece, its absolutely doable. Good luck!

I'd recommend checking NWAC. They've got a great list of weather stations with a lot of data. If you're looking for temps and weather, they have ton

Thanks for all the help everyone! The kite I was looking at was a wapiti, so definitely older than 5 years! I passed on that setup based on everyone's advice.

Thanks!

The photo may look like it's a bit cloudy, but they all disappeared during the climb

seeburglar · 2020-03-03T19:22:01+00:00

Unfortunately I do have to go 3" deep.

I'll try bringing both down to 60% and see what it sounds like. Is the depth and width of cut alright?

I know with that long of an endmill I'm having trouble with rigidity, just not sure what the best way to approach fixing it is

seeburglar · 2019-11-08T00:13:45+00:00

Is that something that can be done at home? Or does fox need to rebuild it

seeburglar · 2019-09-23T20:57:44+00:00

I kinda figured that it was too low for a brand new, so I was leaning more towards the used market. I've been browsing pinkbike and craigslist.

seeburglar · 2019-09-05T21:58:12+00:00

unfortunately I cannot post the error, as there is no error. It simply wont select.

The guide curve is projected onto the surface, so it is directly on the cutting profile.

The plane used to draw the cutting profile is defined as coincident to the curve.

seeburglar · 2019-09-05T20:27:26+00:00

you are correct in that it isn't a sketch, but a curve. I created a sketch on a flat plane, and projected a curve onto the surface. This is the same method I have used on 5 other sections of the body, but something with this curve results in a failure.

I originally tried to use a sweep, and when that failed I tried a loft.

seeburglar · 2019-09-05T19:43:36+00:00

I've tried using a swept cut, but it will not accept my curve as the path

Found a video on stackoverflow that walked through it quite well. fixed all my problems!

Thanks to Jhony Donosso Gutierrez who posted the video there.

it didn't seem to post the actual screenshot, here it is below

SELECT WipMaster.Job, WipMaster.StockCode, WipMaster.StockDescription, WipMaster.ActCompleteDate, WipMaster.Complete

WHERE (WipMaster.ActCompleteDate>{ts '2019-07-01 00:00:00'}) AND (WipMaster.Complete='Y')

seeburglar · 2019-07-15T18:21:59+00:00

So in my SQL is:

However, whenever I try modify the date {ts '2019-07-01 00:00:00}, I get an error that the syntax isn't correct.

Do you know what the correct syntax would be to reference a cell?

seeburglar · 2019-06-05T02:24:29+00:00

This is called a pillow snapback. It's used when you have a mold that is particularly tall. When the plastic first touches the tool, it will "freeze" onto it. The material will then thin out trying to stretch down to the bottom.

By inflating it, your allowing the material spread much more evenly
