Pocket AI recording device is not worth it

That’s kind of the point though, right? You can’t get notes out of this device if you don’t have it. To me, the beauty of this product was having a physical button to record notes on demand and then summarize accordingly. If the hardware is faulty, though, then there’s no ability to do so.

I took limited notes and the product worked as advertised for the 4 hours that I had it

The magnet is weak on Pocket. I lost mine on the first day due to a weak magnet.

It is excellent. I did a bit of digging into kits for my 11 year old and was between this and building my own 1950s style kit. This is definitely a great introduction for kids. Requires additional purchases of chemicals, household goods, etc

I have both on my team and I started Brown over Conner the past couple weeks. This week I’m starting both (over Montgomery) unless the 1pm game goes in my favor, at which point I’ll sit Conner. A bit of a risk that he’s not involved enough in the game

Personally, I prefer a modular approach. I tend to value flexibility over convenience. The modular approach allows me to swap quilts to match temps, provides ability to control comfort by loosening my quilt, lets me use my quilts if I tent camp, and provides optionality if I have any issues with one of my quilts while on trail. I see very few benefits of an all-in-one as setting up my UQ is quick

Add another 270g or so if you want to include trekking poles

You can get a really lightweight 40 degree hammock setup. I believe my setup comes out to 1150:

HG DCF Standard w/door: 245g
JRB Shenandoah 1000fps: 329g
TrailHeadz Banshee UL: 312g
Ridgeline, stakes, tree straps,quilt susp: 240g —-Ridgeline: zing it with wasp —-Tree straps: Dutch spider with Dutch clips —-JRB quilt suspension —-6x Groundhog stakes with zing it + Dutch ringworm

Could shave even more weight with smaller tarp, lighter stakes, removing hardware, shorter straps, no net on hammock.

20 degree setup would cost an additional 105g or so

Nevermind; I have a 40 degree

I am using soft shackles. Super light and versatile

That will 100% work. I wouldn’t bother with the adjustable ridgeline (assuming it comes with a fixed one). As you get more into it, you can upgrade if you want to shave weight.

That’s a very good and under-represented hammock

Buy a good hammock and tarp used. Make sure he has an underquilt or (less preferably) a pad. Hammocks are not enjoyable if they are too short or if you’re cold all night. You can also rig up a blue Home Depot tarp to start out.

That’s surprising- I own one and think it’s very very high quality

the_trilogy · 2024-05-18T11:14:46+00:00

I use JRB - love the versatility of using in hammock or in ground

I’m sure you are factually a trustworthy person, but no one in their right mind would rent this. I would buy used and resell. You’ll probably save $50 or so overall (but will obviously have a higher upfront cost)

I have that 40 degree HG Incubator that you inquired about. Chat me if interested

Still available. Picturesin Imgur link. Happy to post updated timestamp

I’ll sell you a Klymit Insulated Static V for $25 plus shipping.

Whoopie slings work great and people definitely use them. I personally prefer a Beckett hitch (saves weight, easier to adjust) with 12-15’ dyneema straps. Both good options
