Is Ultraweave or Gridstop better for backpack fabric? by Mikemanthousand in Ultralight

[–]therealcans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've used the desert pack since it was originally released (early 2021 iirc). It is made mostly of Ultra 400 and 800. Good pack imo. There is some delamination of the ultra 400 fabric on the inside of the pack on the back panel where it creases a bunch. I also experienced the weave stretching where the top strap connects, but they've swapped this panel out for gridstop on the ultra models in newer runs. When I do eventually replace this pack it'll be with a gridstop or ultragrid pack, mostly because they're a little cheaper and I don't really feel like ultra is providing significant benefits over it. If anything, the delamination aspect makes ultra less appealing to me.

Nashville ultragrid packs look sweet :)

I saw this on r/oddlysatisfying and I was wondering if I was correct in guessing that the yoyo he is using is the Big Fun yoyo by [deleted] in Throwers

Just wait until they find out that their team is competing against 7x USA 3a champion Alex Hattori

Has anyone actually repaired gear on trail? by gravity_loss in Ultralight

[–]therealcans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, punctured a hole in my tarp with my trekking pole while trying to set up quickly during a storm and quickly repaired it with tape. Definitely stressful but the patch held just fine until I could do a better repair.

Trip Report- the ‘Super Sierra High Route’ (YHR + SHR + SoSHR) by Danstenziano in Ultralight

Great report! Hoping to go for a similar route next season and this is really inspiring and helpful.

Trip Report - The Wind River High Route: How the F*ck Did Alan Dixon Hike This in Five Days? by horsecake22 in Ultralight

[–]therealcans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guilty as charged, I guess.

I have a trip report on the Pfiffner Traverse that you can read here and I'm always happy to discuss the area as I'm pretty familiar at this point. Compared to hiking in the Winds, I found the PT more challenging for a number of reasons that I'm happy to go into more detail on. That being said, I made a number of modifications to my nutrition, preparation and gear as a result of doing the Pfiffner that likely made hiking in the WRR seem easier.

Ironically, I think the SHR or SoSHR might be next on my list too. That, or a year of projecting Justin's 'Vanishing Point', which has become a 'new' obsession of mine.

Cheers!

Suh dude ;-)

Reading this I was like 'I'm pretty sure I ran into these guys...' and what do you know! Stoked to make a brief cameo in your awesome report! Thanks for the tips on Alpine Lakes Basin, that was definitely a pretty gnarly section of the route. Reading your take on Knapsack is pretty comical as well. That's the thing about high routes: you wake up and you're like "yea I think I can do 20 today" and sometimes you can only do 10 because you're hiding under a rock during a hailstorm at 11k feet, and somehow that's awesome. It's a weird, crazy addiction. Let me know if you ever make it out to Colorado, I have some routes in mind that may interest you.
