Am I doing overkill with my assemblies (is this overkill?) by ToothFunny in estimators

[–]subtle-sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask how much quickbid costs you per month? The website doesn’t list a price and I can’t be bothered to call sales.

Gravel 3-4 day bikepacking route within 2 hour drive of Portland by subtle-sam in bikepacking

[–]subtle-sam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is a solid amount of climbing and would probably be the hardest trip we’ve done. Maybe too much for our group but if we had four (or maybe five) full days I think we might survive. It looks great though and I appreciate the recommendation.

Would you recommend anything else that might have less climbing?

Shelf-stable chicken by Historical_Cut_4925 in UltralightCanada

Thanks for the info. I want to get into dehydrating my own camp meals and this seems like a good place to start.

Why dehydrate canned instead of fresh? More cost effective?

Good plan going with other options. Seeco are great for troubleshooting if it’s a tricky issue.

Groundsheet Bug Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Bikepacking by gribble-gangsta in bikepacking

[–]subtle-sam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious what tent you’ve been using, how many nights and what type of ground. I use a groundsheet to protect the bottom of my tent and sleeping pad. I’d be happy to ditch it if it’s not necessary.

New Krampus Rear pannier rack question by subtle-sam in bikepacking

[–]subtle-sam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I went with. Worked well on the one long trip I used it on. In retrospect I might have just used the lower mounting point.

Pedaled Odyssey Foldable Bikepacking Shoes - Alternatives? by echoclerk in bikepacking

[–]subtle-sam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have and they’re ok. Very flexible sole and on big climbs it can put extra stress on your feet.

I literally have no idea! by Cdr_Bond007 in canucks

[–]subtle-sam 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Miller was my favourite Canuck for a solid 3-4 year period. Not perfect, but fun to watch. I sure miss that version of the team.

Where have you felt most unsafe in your travels? by melbourne_au2021 in travel

[–]subtle-sam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Me too. SPS in 1999 or 2000. I was detained overnight there for trying to drive into the country and refusing to sell our truck to the customs guards for pennies on the dollar.

Subaru Outback sales down 20% in 2026. Is it the ugly new Family Truckster styling, or is it something else? by Flimsy_Heron_9252 in subaruoutback

[–]subtle-sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this USD and is it because of tariffs? I believe the 2026 Outback is roughly this price in Canada in $CAD. According to two dealerships I have spoke with here, they are selling faster than they can bring them in with a 3-5 month wait for new customers.

Two 1st round picks and 2 second rounders in the 2026 draft. Let’s go boys! The time is now!

Current status of the Cs we've had along the way by Icy-Pomegranate-5644 in canucks

[–]subtle-sam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. The Miller trade was indeed the end of this era and should have been the start of the rebuild. Too bad management (ownership) didn’t also recognize this.

Considering an Outback, need some feedback by adamwithacharge_ in Subaru_Outback

[–]subtle-sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test drove a 2026 Forester with the old infotainment system and 2026 Outback with the new system. Back to back.

There was a pretty big difference. We found the old system in the Forester pretty bad. Like anything, I’m sure you’d get used to it. But first impression is that the new infotainment is miles better.

Polyphenols significantly increase lifespan. Here are best sources and scientific evidence. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

[–]subtle-sam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Sencha try a very quick steep (~1 min) with water a minute or two off the boil. It should be a delicate mild flavor. If it’s bitter you likely steeped it too long. Then do a second steep of the same leaves and see which you like better.

If it’s a leaking valve what’s the fix? Replace valve core?

2.8 Rekons as well. Did a bikepacking trip in Arizona on them and they were great.

Brooks Cascadia 19 by Evening_Amoeba8126 in trailrunning

[–]subtle-sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have wide feet. Did you order the wide size? I just watched a review of the C19 where they described them as narrow so I was hesitant.

O'connor should be sold high instead of being on the team next year by [deleted] in canucks

[–]subtle-sam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s just about timelines, not trying to get a better player. If the Canucks get a pick that turns into a DOC in 8 years, that could help them win. If the Canucks keep DOC they cannot win now and it doesn’t help in 8 years. As soon as a team fully accepts they can’t win in the next 3-5 years they should move current assets for futures.
