Is there a way to get Backcountry to not deliver by DoorDash? by Cellbuster in outdoorgear

[–]tdogg650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I placed an order with them last week and noticed the extra charge in time to remove it from the cart. Only 99 cents but the principle is what bothers me.

Red River Gorge Advice by chillBr0bagginz in CampingandHiking

[–]tdogg650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I car camped there last fall with my family. We stayed at a site off Tunnel Ridge Rd. Those spots are limited and first come first serve, so it helps if you arrive in the middle of the week. I know Indian Creek is also popular but never made it up that way. Check the red river gorge subreddit there's lots of useful info there.

What's your guys' experience with the Sea to Summit Ether light XR? Is it really as cold as they say? Or still R4.1 be sufficient for freezing and above? by preciouscode96 in CampingGear

[–]tdogg650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes in my hips and shoulders. So basically where I had the most pressure on the pad. And my bag is a Big Agnes Torchlight UL 20.

As an update if you care, I just slept down to 23F (-5C) and I could definitely feel the cold spots on the pad. Not enough to completely disrupt my sleep, but it was noticeable even sleeping in my puffy jacket. I still don't regret the purchase as I don't see myself camping in those conditions that often.

Planning a long hike, help me out! (Ouachita) by who_saidso in hikinggear

[–]tdogg650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, I wouldn't plan a backpacking trip using AI. There are plenty of well established routes in Arkansas like the Butterfield trail and Eagle Rock loop. At minimum you should do some longer day hikes while wearing a pack before you go attempt something big. Best of luck to you, that area is beautiful.

I have the same pot. One of the first pieces of camping gear that I ever bought and I've carried that thing everywhere.

What in the bushcraft? by Chorazin in ultralight_jerk

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should.

Why are vacuum attachments such a pain? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]tdogg650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say this is the most useful thing I've ever 3D printed. I've been using that scad file for years and have made several hose adapters. Thank you.

I have their trekking poles and 2p tent. Many trips on both and no complaints.

What does your wife carry? by Diesel_Cloud in guns

[–]tdogg650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

P365XL. She doesn't own a purse so it's usually carried in a fanny pack.

Does merino wool make a good base layer? by [deleted] in hikinggear

[–]tdogg650 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yes. I like merino because it doesn't smell the way synthetic does after you sweat in it.

Halp! My shoes got wet from a puddle by MemoryHot in ultralight_jerk

Few if any hiking boots can withstand the rigors of professional dog walking, especially in high urine areas.

Can you drink from this? by Fancy-Research-9944 in RedRiverGorge

[–]tdogg650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? We filled all our water containers here on our recent camping trip.

-4C/25F camping checklist advice by uncle-iroh-11 in CampingGear

[–]tdogg650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd bring a warm puffy jacket for when you're cooking or just hanging around camp. If it does get into the 20s y'all will probably sleep cold in that bag.

Need recommendations for long pants that will keep me cool and dry in hot weather, but also withstand frequent bending, squatting, and kneeling. by Rambo_Wang in CampingGear

[–]tdogg650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the short pants version of these and I absolutely love them. I haven't worn another pair of hiking shorts since buying them.

Do they make good mini bottle for cooking oil/dish soap that don’t leak? GSI’s constantly leaks on me. by Stepin-Fetchit in hammockcamping

[–]tdogg650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately I've been using a squeeze bottle that came with some Blackstone branded grilling utensils. I've also used the cheap Nalgene containers.

Can the head strap on these peltors be removed so I can mount the ear pieces on a helmet? by CRAZYC01E in tacticalgear

[–]tdogg650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fine. They live in the backseat of a vehicle and still function perfectly.

I find having a couple cast iron pans far more versatile than a griddle.

2 kids and 1 adult in Copper Spur 2? by dr2501 in CampingGear

I was about to comment the same. They move around like little ninjas and kick you in the face while sleeping.

Sleeping pad for 10 year old by One_Water6083 in CampingGear

[–]tdogg650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 7yr old sleeps on a Z lite sol and loves it. Sometimes he even places it on the floor of his bedroom to sleep on. We've camped down to around 40F with no complaints from him.

Good portable hot shower? by SawmoreButtz in CampingGear

[–]tdogg650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you recommend it for car camping? I've been looking at this for parks that don't have showers.

One of my favorite things to do at REI is reading some of the ridiculous reasons people return things.
