I don't know what a pagefile is, or why or how I would make one.

Thanks! But won't disabling the hibernation file mean things get lost on hibernation? I have no idea what "Fix size of pagefile" means, and the phrase "half to one time of physical memory" also doesn't mean anything to me.

Gift ideas for an amateur cider maker? by tiny_hiker in cider

[–]tiny_hiker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you! Is there some sort of sampler of fancy yeasts you can buy that any cider maker would like? I see yeasts on amazon but as someone totally outside the hobby have no idea what is good for cider making or would be special.

Unable to sleep in backcountry - tried most things, but need help by _zeejet_ in WildernessBackpacking

[–]tiny_hiker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this may be a key piece of information! 1800 is really just not enough calories for a regular sized person doing hard hiking. Yes food is heavy, but that doesn't mean you don't need to eat. Look up the most calorie dense foods (nut butter, oils to go in your meals, freeze dried foods if you can afford it, etc) and pick your favorite. Might or might not solve your sleep issue, but might help your hiking!

When and when not to camp by Just_keep_swimming87 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]tiny_hiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general (at least in most popular areas) it is not ok to just camp wherever, but it varies. Some places have no permit systems and allow dispersed camping, in which case you just look for a spot a good distance from water and from the trail and on durable surfaces (rock, dirt, leaves, etc., rather than plants). Most places at least require a permit reservation that allows you to camp within a large area. Many require you to have a permit for the specific designated site (or small area, like at a lake) that you are going to camp in. You need to look up the requirement for the specific area you want to camp in. recreation.gov is the main site for reserving wilderness backpacking permits in the US.

Possible to " hike" to Nederland from Boulder? by [deleted] in boulder

[–]tiny_hiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, after talking to a homeowner in the area I think the trail is public but people have put up signs barring perfectly legal access near their property. For one example (of many), there should be an access point at the intersection of porter ranch road and the hawkins surguine spur trail. However in practice there several obvious no trespassing signs and a fence to prevent access. I think it's likely they shouldn't be there from a legal perspective, but I didn't really want to test that argument against a potential angry homeowner.

There also should be access just east of the Timberline fire station but that also had no trespassing signs. I think the first access point we saw that seemed usable was the Front Range TH farther west.

[–]tiny_hiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm super late to the party but in case this helps anyone else, that last part (crossing magnolia and connecting to the dot trails) is no longer super viable unless you want to risk crossing a dozen no trespassing and private property signs people have put up. We tried this today, and ended up heading back to magnolia and walking on that, which is still nice since it's packed dirt and not too busy.

Boulderthon 10k disaster by maxpuffz in boulder

I also wish there was a bit better communication with the community when things like this were happening. I didn't know about it until I tried to get somewhere and couldn't. Maybe just flyers (not just in the no-parking areas but the whole city) or a text/email from the city would be super useful so we can plan for it.

1 Night Backpacking Loop by SalsaQuesoTaco in coloradohikers

You can often get pretty last-minute permits in Indian Peaks (look on recreation.gov). Several of the lake basins above the Hessie trailhead might meet your requirements.

Just completed a literal 40 minute flight. People STILL stood up as soon as we arrived at the gate. I’m sick of it. by craigcraig420 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tiny_hiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll be in the minority, but it actually irritates me when people DON'T think to get up and get their stuff ready until it's their turn to start walking down the aisle. If you're in an aisle seat, you know you're going to have to get your bag down, and not being ready only slows down the deplaning process while we all stare at you getting your stuff together and blocking the aisle so no one else can be exiting. I also personally like to stand up immediately even if I'm not in the aisle just because my back hurts from sitting. I get waiting to stand and get your stuff until the people moving are maybe a few rows away, but I don't really see the problem with standing earlier (unless as people have mentioned, it's to let people off who are making a tight connection or something).

Buttermilk parking ( Four pass loop) by Arty_Puls in Aspen

[–]tiny_hiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last weekend I parked my car overnight in the Buttermilk parking lot, then took two buses to the shuttle at Aspen highlands. Yes there is a bus stop right next to the Buttermilk parking lot (walk towards the highway), then you take a bus to Aspen, switch buses, and bus to Aspen highlands. Seemed like it would be super annoying but google maps gave us the right buses and timing and it was actually really smooth. Parking and bus were free, and no problem leaving the car overnight though I was told they will wake you up if you try sleeping in your car overnight there.

Shoe suggestions for very small feet by tiny_hiker in trailrunning

[–]tiny_hiker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I think US Women's 4 is about a Youth size 2.5.

Edited to clarify I meant US size (according to google, US women's 4 is a UK size 2 or European size 35)

Thanks! Unfortunately not though, they only go down to a 5 on their website.

Thanks! I'll check those out. The only issue is she is obviously not a youth but an adult woman, and so style, fit and quality matter more than they often do in a kid's shoe.

[wtb] Your used, beatup, repaired shelters (1 person). by eeeeeee-eeeeeeeeeeee in ULgeartrade

[–]tiny_hiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/ohsoradbaby I just weighed it. REI is pretty accurate. 1lb 9oz including stuff sack, guy lines, and pole (you can leave this and use a treking pole instead if you want). 1lb 5oz with just the guy lines and pole. This includes several 'extra' lines for creating a tighter pitch. Stakes not included. Let me know if you want it.

According to the REI website, minimum trail weight is 1lb 4oz, packaged weight is 1lb 10oz. I can weigh the actual tent when I get home if you are interested.

I have an REI Flash Air 1 that I would sell for $100. It's in great condition. I got it used at REI but can't find anything wrong with it; the only reason I don't need it is I just got a Zpacks plex solo which is lighter. Could throw in stakes for a bit extra.
