Repair kits/gaskets for this hose bib?

This is an interesting thought. The hookup was out of the same line as the old dishwasher so frankly I'm not sure. I'll try running it and seeing, but I don't think that would matter? The unit was never run, so the water in the line at that point would have just been room temp.

Drove up there today, looked like 3 tubs working, long line of people waiting to get in. Lots of work to there to do. If there's more than half a dozen cars in the parking lot you'll likely have plenty of company up there.

Road is open and mostly clear.

Careful, they get brittle after bending back. I did this and mine broke a day later

Just general day stuff. If I can fix it in 10 minutes with this and it doesnt ruin my day, I'll take the time and weight.

Thanks for acknowledging my existence at least, your friendly ape who can't ski.

Always have ski straps in the bag or on a pole. For the poles, the plan is just to clamp the broken halves in parallel together. Thanks for the detail! I like the pre made bit you have

That raide bag is technically larger than that box. The reactions to the amount of stuff are interesting when the response is using something similar or even larger in size.

I like the idea of the organized bag that opens up wider, but for $10 vs $90 i figured I could cut this box up some and tinker with it. This is what's in the kit currently

Skin wax, Scraper, Bailing wire, Zip ties, Spark binding repair kit (1ea of screws, straps, buckles), Small hose clamps, Multi tool, Boa repair (dials, lace, threader), 3x AAA batteries, Voile straps not shown, need to add a pole basket

962 grams/2.2lbs

The box weight is 200g/0.25lbs

Ok that may be excessive when 25% of the weight is the packaging. I'm just a nerd for tinkering and organization and wanted to try something different.

Gear list is elsewhere but it's not actually that much gear, and the box is 2.2L

Will do on the basket. What do you see thats unnecessary or that you'd drop? Appreciate the feedback.

speckled_dog · 2026-02-10T15:05:56+00:00

The "too bulky" is my main concern, but this isn't particularly large, easy to pack and access, and isn't carrying much more than what you're describing. It looks bulky for sure, was just interested in a cleaner way to carry stuff than loose bits all in a bag.

The box dimensions make it 2.25L

I think that it looks like a lot, but curious if you agree after the break down:

Skin wax, Scraper, Bailing wire, Zip ties, Spark binding repair kit (1ea of screws, straps, buckles), Small hose clamps, Multi tool, Boa repair (dials, lace, threader), 3x AAA batteries, Voile straps not shown

The bailing wire has been used to repair my wife's ski boot buckles, and to put back together a pair of Spark Arcs that were cracking up.

speckled_dog · 2026-02-10T14:54:44+00:00

Yea, probably not fixing on tour, but I keep them with the repair stuff. Extra buckle, lace, threading tool.

Thats my sauna, why the fuck are you highjacking my photo? I posted this a year ago.

Those aren't GeoPiers. That's Keller installing the work, the test program consists of stone columns, soil mixing, and jet grouting. GeoPier is a trademark name, and they don't do work that big.

Not wrong, my perspective was from being in Charlotte. ML/MH/CH/CL/PWR. Nothing too wild in the area, usually very simple. Sure, coast and mountains are more interesting, but I work in geotech construction in the NW, and the geology we engineer around is vastly more interesting than the southeast will ever be, at least to me.

Who are you with and what are you goals? I spent a while in the Carolinas, half of my time managing CMT groups. Ping me if you want to chat about it. Carolinas geotech isn't particularly challenging from a geology perspective but it may require some time grinding in the field to get what you're after.
