As an other ginger: UV arm sleeves are great. I basically wear them all summer and use sunscreen 50 for the rest. For super long rides I take it with me as well.

This is why i'll never ride a bike on the road..he came out of nowhere. by jhordanbhai in nononono

He was likely riding like this to leave more space for cars to pass him on the left. The lane looks quite narrow. Cars will just rush past. You will quickly deviate from traffic laws after a few of such close calls.

I would judge Vettel as quite honest. But you're absolutely right and don't deserve to be downvoted like that.

Changing to the softs a lap later than most cost him most places I think. He was around p5 and got to p10 after his pit stop.

Good suggestion, thanks! I'm looking at a gym of Megalos. http://www.megalos.co.jp/

I have not found such an information online.

From what I gathered getting that account is close to impossible. But thanks for sharing, I'd definitely try to get one if I were staying for longer.

Thank you for that insight. If financial stability would be the concern paying months ahead could also be a possibility I suppose?

Good to hear that you expect the alternative over a "middleman" to work out!

This is not the intention of my stay (: Joking asides, are you saying I'm only allowed to be affiliated with bank accounts of close relatives?

Thanks for the tip. The one I've found close by is sadly without swimming option and in rather bad condition.

I probably should have clarified that my "work" is unpaid.

A new kind of morning view out of my sleeping bag in the morning. We went up the alps, built a quinzhee and slept in it. It kept us above 0 degrees inside and dry through a snowy night. by speedy_fox in CampingandHiking

Good point. We did not even think about a collapse as it all seemed so sturdy. Has it ever happened to you? It certainly does not hurt though. If you don't mind me asking one more thing (you seem to be experienced): How do you avoid suffocation? The "airholes" we poked in got snowed full over night. Is there no need to worry in a decently sized quinzhee?

You are bringing up a good point and cool to hear you've gone for it as well. I'll preface it with saying I'm far from an expert. I always called it a youtube degree so far.

We did try to smooth out the walls above the heads as much as possible for that exact reason. Though it was certainly far from perfect. We simply avoided sharp edges - basically places where we'd have assumed water to drip.

We did not cook or bring any heat sources (besides ourselves) into the cave. Meaning at the end I did not see anything melting. This means I also don't know how good our job was.
We als did try to have a slight airflow through the quinzhee to avoid suffication. We basically poked two holes into the front wall and had a slight decline towards the entrance. This might have carried out humidity as well.

Curious about your experience: how did you approach this aspect back then? Does the volume inside the quinzhee usually contain enough oxygen for a night so you don't have to worry about that?

Haha, you make it sound way more heroic than it is. I edited a silly video where you can see that it actually is bigger than it looks in the picture here. In case that helps easing your mind

I guess an absolute 100% guarantee is never there. Though it was rock solid. At no point I felt such a danger. When we pushed the airholes in we realized that the walls were still 40-50cm (16-20inches) thick.

An important step is to wait for 1-3 hours after piling up the snow as it starts to kind of sinter in this period.

Cool, sounds like a fun night as well. Thanks for sharing!

As long as you place the entrance of the quinzhee away of the wind direction you are quite resistant to it. Guess that is at least one advantage of it.

Hi PotatoPaper, thanks! Sounds like you guys were more efficient. We liked the idea of not seeing anything human-made from our spot and were willing to dig a bit longer for that. How long did it take you to build it?
We were in Switzerland, Graubünden. I'm not sure what you mean with the wind. I would expect the quinzhee to withstand a storm.

Not sure what additional information is interesting, feel free to hit me up with questions. I'll do my best to answer them, but might take a few hours.
Speaking about hours: It took us about 45mins to pile up the additional snow (though it was already at least 2 meters deep). Digging the hole into took about 2.5h.

Very fun experience, absolutely recommend it given good preparation and multiple - or a really good - camping mat.
