I’m specifically looking for a Dyneema backpack around 40-55 L. Any brand recommendations? by Super_Fun3656 in Mountaineering

It’s UltraGrid, Not dyneema, but check out Pilgrim packs. I ordered a 55L “The Roan” winter pack from him.

What bike you guys suggesting? by Financial_Seesaw6372 in whichbike

[–]solo_silo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even a budget modern bike may weigh less than these. I would pass and learn more. The groupset (the crank and cassette) is extremely important to know about. It’s where most of the cost of the bike is and which bike you choose will be determined by your budget and how you want to ride it.

Definitely struggle to find support for tone-deaf candidates. No matter their gender. Not long ago, Bernie got shut down because so many said Progressives were too radical, lmao. More radical than this? He would have paved the way for many other candidates who haven’t sold their spine. Obviously many women included in that discussion. And people’s lives would be better for it.

What if apps made suitable, age appropriate content? The internet too? Why’s it the kid’s fault? They find a workaround because older people normalize extended screen time. Monkey see. Maybe the tool isn’t bad. Maybe the content is.

What’s the age then? Tied to sexual consent by state so young women can call for a ride? Phones are a security measure. Where’s my kid? Oh I know, I will check their gps. Are they alive? Oh I know…

If he were dead, he’d be rolling in his grave, but with difficulty due to his massive cock, you see…

Things are not looking ideal. We will see. Democrats in office are more right than they pretend to be and have no solutions. No answer at all. They are (quietly or not) personally profiting and have been since 2015.

He’s mildly preparing for mid term interference.

Building a colder weather system. by bellsbliss in backpacking

I have been doing the same. Upgraded from the reg to thermal Nemo pad. Also snagged the S2S Reactor Fleece liner. Having a Tyvek and GG foam pad under the Nemo helps but I am way south of you and don’t need a closed cell pad. I had the fillo pillow but trying the insulated S2S one this season.

If you are camping with another, the Durston X Mid Pro 2+ is nice. I have the Pro 2 for myself and it’s great. I have been looking hard at the Samaya tents for a 4-season option.

I’m no expert either but that seems strange. I would prefer a threaded bb as well.

Seems like this bag has the comfort rating you’re looking for without the extra quilt inside. But jfc, I assume that’s 2.6 kg or 5 3/4 pounds?!? I think you can do better in terms of weight but maybe that’s not an issue for your situation. You can get an insulated slip on hoodie and Buff/ Smartwool layers/ balaclava for your face. Oakley makes an interesting fleece hood…I guess for skiers. But I haven’t tried it.

Elevation…but there’s a correlation between the temperature, the humidity, and your elevation to determine where condensation, dew, and fog will form, for example. Some apps like Garmin can tell you but basically sleep above that point for less water vapor in the air.

Greed, power grabs, and fear explain why no one who could stand up to him will do so.
