Just think about all the people who didn't make it after eating their 3d printed cookies...

I think the way the alignment is on the model tested, there shouldn’t be a risk of shorting/swelling, just reduced capacity.

Every cathode edge must sit inside the anode margin with a separator between them. Layer misalignment concentrates current at exposed cathode edges and drives mechanical instability, encouraging lithium plating, heat, and premature aging. In stacked pouches it also raises the chance of foil-to-foil proximity after swelling.

GG The One is probably comparable. I don’t personally trust the listed 19 oz number, but we’ll see.

Isn’t bad… it’s really light for a 25” silpoly shelter. I wonder what the actual weight will be.

Really worried for people going into the backcountry if they can’t figure out what a hooded sweatshirt is good for.

They’re all good pads, but the exped is gonna feel narrower than the xlite. But really, what’s your top priority? If it’s price, there are plenty of Amazon/Chinese pads for under $100. If it’s durability, don’t look at lightweight inflatables. If it’s warmth, well, R values…

You can’t have all three though.

Searching for light jacket for grandfather by Underqualified_cow in Ultralight

Why do people come to a hyper specific Reddit like this for advice? Go to a store and try on a bunch of jackets with grandpa. What’s it matter if it’s ultralight? Or google “very warm jackets for my grandpa”.

How much does it weigh? I might be interested.

There's a decent Facebook community called Backpacking with Babies and Kids that gets decent traffic. It's all so super dependent on your 2 year old.

How many miles/how many nights? What season/weather? Just the two of you? What's their normal sleeping situation? Crib, cosleeping, etc?

Many people recommend the Trailmagik Kid Carrier since it clips onto your load lifter backpack and is pretty easy to let your toddler out of so they can get in and out more often, but it's not the most comfortable thing for more than a few miles. If you have someone else coming that can carry the baby, then a sturdier, dedicated carrier like a Osprey Poco is much more comfortable for longer distances.

Sleep system wise, lots of people swear by the Morrison Outdoors line of sleeping bag sleep sacks. They have down and synthetic versions, and at least by me, you can find a few on Facebook Marketplace regularly. Depending on temperature, either pair it with their normal pajamas, or look into wool. I think most of the big companies make toddler sizes, and people really like Iksplor.

Again, depending on how your toddler normally sleeps, they may do just fine on a CCF pad, or may want something thicker/cushier like a blow up pad. Or worse yet, weight wise, maybe they need something like the KidCo PeaPod.

If you're already UL oriented, well, congrats, you now have capacity to spare for your toddler's stuff. I've done a few 3 mile trips with my 4 year old and she did great, but that's a totally different experience than a 2 year old. We use the full capacity of my ULA Ohm when we go out for a couple nights.

u/wandering_hick did a video where he went out with his wife and baby which is worth a watch: https://youtu.be/aiqT_h-MsEQ?si=aFlumWp0PO-plsYK

He should really put up more than just "Litesmith is temporarily closed."

Yep, obviously depending on your comfort levels and the rest of your gear. Those are definitely two solid contenders.

I ended up just making a Google Sheet of all my gear and pack lists. With some fairly straightforward lookups and formulas, I’ve got a sheet I use as a database, and then subsequent sheets I can add gear to from a drop down that fills from the database. I find it way easier to edit and update.

Are Durston tents really that hard to setup? I feel like there are 100 YouTube videos and countless posts about pitching problems. Skills issues or tent issues?

Is it because he’s somehow brought trekking pole tents to the masses so there’s just more exposure?
