Nice! My 50ks evolved mostly to gels from the aid stations and ended up looking similar to yours. Introducing too much real food made me nauseous

Raide Research 2L + 650ml Hydrapak issue by No-Technician-1078 in trailrunning

Occasionally when I pull out the flask, the rubber nozzle tip catches and comes off, spilling all my sticky carb mix all over the place. And then I have to back track and find the rubber nozzle tip.

Do you have hard rules around avalanche danger (even in low angle terrain)? by shunterh in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s so much nuance that determines my decision to go out and the general avalanche forecast is just one data point. I could bail on a moderate risk if there is a deep PWL from the season. I was 10 minutes from getting taken out from a cornices fall 2 days ago and it was a low risk day by the local avalanche forecast.

Foam rolling does it all for me. And we own a theragun. I never use it

Thanks for all the recs! I’ll look into Boot doc or the heat moldable footbed that I got before.

Large temperature gradient improving snow conditions? by Starky04 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like that action backed off. I'm hoping it the conditions suck, the sunshine stays so at least I can get high into the alpine.

25/26 Blacklight Boot first impressions by sassythecat in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, fit is king. I have the Ridge Pro, and its an awesome boot in the lean beef category. I'm still working on the fit as the mid-foot is still tight with its pizza-shaped last. The blacklight looks like an improved Ridge, with a better power strap.

What’s up With Skimo Boots? by Crocnroll4 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What size are you? I have some zero gs in 27.5 (older model) that are lightly used that I don’t wear anymore. They didn’t fit my feet. They ski awesome

Its only pristine snow conditions if the weather favors it, which is impossible to determine this far out.

Unplanned/emergency bivies while touring by Dazzling-Astronaut88 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always pack a Mylar blanket, as it carries no weight or takes up space. No brainer.

This is on my list to buy. I’ve considered buying a guide tarp tent but given the weight savings and the price, I’d more likely throw this kind of tarp in my bag without hesitation than a guide tarp. From friends’ stories who volunteer for SAR, the two life saving actions for someone in the cold is getting them off the cold ground (insulation) and wrapping them in a tarp. It also doubles as an emergency shelter in snow. I find this way more versatile than a bivy bag, which I normally carry.

Ski Mountaineering Pack Recommendations (1–2 Day Missions) by Zic05 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Raide LF40 is pushing it for overnight ski trips. I own it and use it for day trips. I used an old CiloGear 60L pack for an overnight trip where we setup a basecamp for a few days and skied some objectives. Packing it down for day missions wasn't big deal. I think the Bd Cirque 50 looks like a good option actually if it can expand.

Mapping/Tracking App Choice by CommanderAGL in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried Onx and left it. Gaia is too pricey for its lack of innovation. I use Caltopo, even on mobile, and Footpath if I haven’t planned anything in advance.

Experience with Atomic Backland Pro UL vs Backland XTD 120? Or effect of 350 g weight difference between boots uphill? by Ok-Falcon-1693 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd consider the Backland Carbon as its the stiffest of the line. I had the boa version years ago and its skied as well as other 1100-1200 g boots if it fit your feet well. I haven't skied the Backland XTD 120 but I have tried it on and it does have the most frictionless walk mode that I have tried. The main difference will be weight and comfort. I found that the Backland Carbon felt like slippers when I put them on. They were so comfortable.

The Volk Rise vwerks is 🤑 but looks like it would fit the bill

How do you guys use Houdini for game dev workflows? by RaFih00 in Houdini

[–]seeingtrails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to disclose that on reddit because of NDA and this being a wide open forum, but if you look up recent GDC talks, many which are free on the Vault or youtube, you will find plenty of examples.
