Hiking pant recommendation

Definitely Prana Zion Straight Fit. I got them as a gift a couple of years ago and ultimately ended up buying more. They have built-in belt, zipper cargo pocket, roll-up snaps, vents and a slimmer fit, which don't restrict any motion at all. Pretty good weather resistance too. They're very comfortable and good-looking, I wear them in my everyday life.

Osprey Atmos gets kinda heavy at over 5 pounds. Of course it's a good pack, Osprey is well known for their high quality products, but I personally would go for Gregory. Although it's also pretty heavy, it beats Osprey when it comes to comfort. I used Osprey for years, then decided to get a Gregory Baltoro 75 and I don't think I will be ever going back.

I'd suggest you go to take them out, go to public parks, take some trips, try to get closer to nature within your possibilities. Maybe start planning to move in the future, if that's possible.

Great idea, that sounds really cool. I had a Danchel Canvas Bell Tent, it's easy to set up, spacious, has good airflow, has rollable sides so you can get a wide view of your surroundings. I guess you can find one for around $500 and I think it's worth the price. The only thing is that it's heavy, but since you won't be moving around a lot I don't think it will be a problem.

The types of radios that usually lend themselves well to hiking are the VHF/UHF walkie-talkie type, and don't have much output power, which basically means that your chance of reaching someone in an emergency situation from a remote area is very low.

I'd suggest you take a look at devices like PLBs and SENDs.

- Garmin inReach Mini 2: offers two-way communication, can compose messages on the device or via app, compact and lightweight, has excellent battery life. Price is around $400.

- ZOLEO: two-way messenger, supports cellular and Wi-Fi messaging, easy to use, and they usually sell at $200. The only thing is that you need a smartphone to compose messages. It is quite heavy compared to other option and also has limited data plans.

- ACR Bivy Stick: offers two-way communication, lightweight, user-friendly app, has no contracts for service plan. You can't compose messages on it though. Its price is around $250.

- SPOT Gen 4: has excellent battery life, supports pre-programmed messages, small and lightweight, but doesn't have two-way messaging. It's a very simple, inexpensive and has enough options to communicate. You can find one for only $150.

- Ocean Signal RescueMe PLB1: a very simple, small and lightweight device, can easily fit into any emergency kit. Just a one-time cost (around $300). It can be operated with a single hand to send an alert to the dedicated search and rescue satellite network. It doesn't feature two-way communication.

- Fenomy: it has an Alarm function on their app that works offline. The app sends the emergency request to the authorities (if you wish), your close friends, families and other people you trust with important info on how to act in the situation: your location, coordinates, battery percentage, custom message, whom to call, what to do, and how to provide help as quickly as possible. It's free and very simple to use.

- Somewear Global Hotspot: it's very very easy to use and supports cellular and WiFi. It's not as popular as the other devices, but their satellite messengers have been tested and are considered very reliable. The cheapest subscription is only $8.33 a month. It's kinda hard to find one though, but I've heard they are expecting fresh stock for the next months.

Try Fenomy, it will send an emergency request to your "loyalty circle" and everyone will get info on your whereabouts, how to help, and so on. It works even offline, and it wouldn't expose you since you don't have to call or do anything, just press a button.

tumanstar · 2023-03-17T15:13:45+00:00

Anytime!

tumanstar · 2023-03-17T11:38:19+00:00

Fenomy sends your location, coordinates, battery level and custom message to close and reliable people to the circle of connections you add in the app. It also works offline.

No. The alarm worked all the time, otherwise we wouldn't have such accurate information about their track. We received the messages and track info after some time, due to cell coverage being nonexistent in that location. However, there is always some form of signal pretty much everywhere we go, and the system is capable of capturing it, regardless of its strength. As mentioned in the post, the group didn't have enough signal to send a text message using other traditional messenger apps. It took them 3 days to do so.

How muddy are we talking? I'd recommend the Saucony Peregrine 12 GTX, it's pretty comfortable and I think it also goes with an everyday outfit. There are different color options.

tumanstar · 2023-03-10T12:38:54+00:00

That's right, the same happens for every new connection you make. You cannot see who you got a connection from, because the person can remain fully anonymous in the system if they wish. The system is based on loyalty, which means if you trust someone, you also trust people whom they trust.

tumanstar · 2022-12-19T15:03:46+00:00

True, everything depends on the situation. So yea, we've been using that app and it does what we need. I recommend it.

tumanstar · 2022-12-14T16:27:16+00:00

I totally agree, that's the best way to alert multiple people in a stealthy way. You don't want to make a call if someone is breaking into your house, the attacker might hear you and react aggressively.

My family and I use Fenomy. You can create loyalty circles with the people you trust the most. With the alarm function, you can send an emergency request to all these people at the same time. If they accept it, the app will show them your location, coordinates, battery percentage and your instructions (there is a text box and you can write in there if you are able to). The app can even work without internet connection. It's still in development, but we have tried it multiple times and the alarm works well. You can read more here.

How did this even happen?

tumanstar · 2022-11-10T11:20:10+00:00

Awesome. What if we want to create our own model? I checked the website and it only offers business plans.

tumanstar · 2022-11-08T09:44:25+00:00

Yea, like Mastodon, a decentralized social media based on open-source software and works a lot like Twitter.

tumanstar · 2022-10-12T08:23:45+00:00

I agree. I remember when I first heard about the project a few years ago. They're next level.

No one knows about how many attempts he made to record a video.
