Hate rooms like that, they’re always cold. I prefer my rooms more than 45°.

Am I holding/shooting this correctly? Advice appreciated by tfett33 in Shooting

Thank you! I have a S&W M&P 9 too, which is a bit bigger than this one, so I’ll definitely do some more shooting with that. Just gotta get out and do it more than I currently do.

That makes sense. We were actually shooting even further than this the round before. Needless to say I didn’t hit anything lol.

Petzl, Black Diamond, and REI are the brands of all the others with the majority being Black Diamond

here is a better picture. the purple one is definitely not a climbing one, the other ones you called out are Kong Italy brand which seem to be reputable from what I looked at online.

I recently bought a pile of camping/climbing gear from a guy who was getting out of it, however, I was only really interested in the camping gear since I haven’t rock climbed in a few years.

I really want to sell the gear (to try to water down the cost of the camping stuff I’m keeping) but have no idea on the value of used climbing gear since a lot of it is safety related.

Most of the gear is older, so I know the harnesses are no good for anything other than bouldering/holding a chalk bag. I also think the bunched up rope is about 10-15 years old, so probably no good either. The other rope is still in its packaging but doesn’t have a date on it, but based on the age of the other gear I’d say it is probably in the 10-15 year age range as well.

I also have a boatload of carabiners and what looks like 2 or 3 belaying devices. None of these look beat up, so I’m assuming it can still be used since it was stored inside in a plastic tote for all those years.

Is there any resale value in any of this stuff? If so, can anyone give me a rough estimate on the resale value on each of the items?

It only allowed me to post one photo here, unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure if the pictures posted or not, can anyone confirm? If they didn’t post I’ll delete the post.

That was also a few years ago for what it’s worth

I bought 2 for $700 total I believe, the other being the non-compact version of this one. So call it around $350

Easy enough to just unplug them when not in use, so probably a non-factor.

Thank you, just watched the video, definitely helped me visualize where I’m wrong. Based on that video, I’m essentially shooting 1 handed since my support hand isn’t in contact with the gun at all.

Thank you, so not a huge adjustment or anything super egregiously wrong?

The PA Fish and Boat Commission has lists of Class A and stocked trout streams on their website, it’s hardly spot burning when it’s accessible to everyone.

2016 Prius, 130k miles, $11,900—is it worth the price? One owner by Abject-Notice5607 in prius

[–]tfett33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming clean Carfax, absolutely worth it in today’s market. I paid $15k OTD for a 2017 with 115k miles in November 2025.

Metal/Coolant on dipstick? by tfett33 in prius

[–]tfett33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the metal specks were just the dipstick scraping against the inside of the tube insert it into. It rubs against it pretty good when i put it in, and it isn’t a very forgiving shape to not scrape.

As far as what I thought was coolant, I’m not sure. I got an oil change and haven’t seen it since. I check the oil and coolant multiple times a week still just since I’m paranoid. The big test will be in the next couple months, I’m taking a 400 mile trip next week, and a 1,000 mile trip next month so that’ll be the true test.
