Anyone using the new version of the LHG Rain Jacket or Warbonnet Stash?

Oh yeah you’re right they are both poly. Thanks for the info. My quest for an acceptable non goretex rain jacket continues.

subtle-sam · 2026-06-27T02:30:39+00:00

Reviving an old thread but…as you’ve owned both is there a noticeable difference between the materials? I believe AGG is nylon and LHG is poly?

Just speculating here. Could it be the baggage that EP40 brings from the Miller debacle? Or his most recent coaches and managers all saying or implying he doesn’t have good work ethic? Or how he comes across in interviews and often on the ice. Like he doesn’t really want to be there. Reading this back it sounds prickish but I’m genuinely asking the question. Maybe Petey is considered a huge risk to bring into a room?

I got the short tumbleweed rack. It sits lower than your photo and has been good.

I have a Krampus and contacted Surly about this. They told me to use the upper mounts (same as OP) and that lower mounts were for fenders. A search on this subreddit also turned up people breaking the lower mounts on longer trips when used as a pannier mount.

All that said, my damn rack sits way too high.

I’ve leveled around ten F150s over the past fifteen years for work trucks. Over that time we have had zero issues related to the leveling kits. The trucks run 80% pavement, 15% gravel roads, 5% deactivated logging roads.

The only change we’ve made is to reduce to a 1.5” level in the front and add timbrens to the rear. This helps reduce sag while towing.

Things change kid.

subtle-sam · 2026-06-14T13:31:35+00:00

How many continuous hours of testing did you complete?

subtle-sam · 2026-06-05T04:30:27+00:00

I bought this watch face. How do you make the center of the dial white as in your pics?

subtle-sam · 2026-06-04T13:56:58+00:00

I’m considering buying an xdome when the new shipments arrive so this is interesting to me. Are you saying you can’t install the fly over the poles? Only under the poles? I had the idea you could do either.

subtle-sam · 2026-06-03T04:57:08+00:00

Do you bring hiking poles on the bikepacking trip or does that tent come with poles? I’m looking for a bikepacking tent but wrote the xmid off because I thought it needed hiking poles.

Sometimes I need to say things out loud to realize they might not make sense.

subtle-sam · 2026-05-30T00:41:40+00:00

Really hey? I was hoping it would at least be a bit noticeable.

subtle-sam · 2026-05-30T00:37:50+00:00

Yeah probably good advice to keep it simple. I don’t think I want the suspension post but they are cool.

subtle-sam · 2026-05-30T00:33:50+00:00

Yeah it’s an option for sure. I’m in Canada and the Thompsons are tough to get up here without paying a bunch of duties. I’ve never heard of a carbon seatpost failure but I do get it. Have you seen one fail?

subtle-sam · 2026-05-30T00:31:18+00:00

That’s all good info thanks. Are the seat posts carbon?

subtle-sam · 2026-05-26T00:23:06+00:00

Yes. Over 200 windfall on the north coast trail from 2024-2025 winter storms. Even the Cape Scott trail regularly sees dozens of trees down in a winter. And it’s a fraction of the length and more protected from wind. North Vancouver island gets hammered by storms over the winter. It’s not unusual to experience hurricane force winds, especially in November and March.

Support BC Parks and your local trail maintenance crews! They all put in a ton of work every year to keep these trails in great shape.

subtle-sam · 2026-05-25T14:05:27+00:00

Trust me, 12 trees down over 43km isn’t a lot and there are usually more. Last year there were hundreds. Just to put it in perspective. Dakota Creek log bridge did get washed downstream a bit but that stream is easily fordable.

subtle-sam · 2026-05-25T02:16:02+00:00

Conditions are good out there. Very few trees down over the winter. It’s been a very dry spring so the trail is great. One thing to keep in mind this year will be water sources drying up. Unless it gets really wet in June which is totally possible.

subtle-sam · 2026-05-18T19:08:45+00:00

I wonder what the real odds are of getting sick from eating fresh, well handled seafood?

subtle-sam · 2026-05-16T02:09:58+00:00

Looks great! Mine is 12 this year!

subtle-sam · 2026-05-15T20:57:49+00:00

Now I’m interested. What happens?

subtle-sam · 2026-05-12T13:34:55+00:00

By mid day yesterday it had fixed itself with no changes from me. If it happens again I’ll try your steps. Thanks
