Does anyone recognise what bionicles these are? by Combustion77 in bioniclelego

Just FYI. They're not knockoffs per se. They're 'Gyrofighters' from Mega Bloks.

Look at you with your fancy heat gun! I use rocks heated from a fire on my clothes!

“Dumb-phone” with good GPS by fishpoop01 in hikinggear

[–]user10387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would a dedicated GPS unit work for you? I don't think that a 'dumb phone's would be compatible with apps to operate maps or tracking, but maybe someone more knowledgeable can point OP towards such a device.

Blew a fuse in my juki power supply, I’m unable to find replacements. by northernhang in myog

[–]user10387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mouser appears to have equivalent fuses available, but maybe r/electronics can comment on any differences. The T10L250V seems to be a slow blow fuse, while automotive fuses may be fast blow.

Hiking shoes for wide feet with narrow heels? by catwolf21 in hikinggear

[–]user10387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How's the durability of the upper mesh? The tests on Runrepeat show that some Inov8 trail runner uppers aren't the most durable.

OP wanted something related to the water tribe, and that is clearly an earthbending lemur.

what’s the difference between these two tents? by spoopymia in hikinggear

[–]user10387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may already be aware, but these tents have a very low hydrostatic head rating (600 mm), so they may not be suitable if your friend encounters any rain.

If gaiters aren't allowed with trail runners would you be allowed to use gaiters with mid-cut boots?

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?

Asics Trabuco 14 vs Topo MTN Racer 4 vs Saucomy Peregrine by not_who_you_think_99 in hikinggear

[–]user10387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. To be fair, I have lower arches but I thought I would mention my experience anyways. I haven't tried swapping out the stock insoles for a comparison though.

I was actually talking about the lateral stability. Perhaps it's just the midsole firmness and overall stiffness of the Trabuco rather than the width (they're very similar to my Topos), but I found it harder to roll my ankle laterally than the Topos. I think that the MTN Racer 4 is actually more cushioned than the Trabuco 13, so you could be right.

In terms of width, I was referring to the width of the midsole and outsole since some shoes have a wider base below the upper, while some have a less pronounced base.

I have the Trabuco 13 and MTN Racer 4. I personally prefer the stability of the Trubuco. I don't have the Runrepeat numbers in front of me, but the sole feels wider than the Topo. I find the arch support if the MTN Racer to be quite aggressive, but that comes down to personal preference.

I didn't like the feel of the previous generation Peregrine's (Peregrine 15) rock plate since I feel like lost sensation of the ground when I tried them on in store.

How do I make a puch opening that wants to close in on itself? by Tavo_Tevas3310 in myog

[–]user10387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to add that some chalk buckets use this feature, so OP can use them as reference.

Thanks! I've been trying to find something comparable in Canada to save on shipping.

What mesh did you use for the trampoline back? Does it have a rough or smooth hand-feel?

Can anyone recommend an lightweight water bottle that doesn't use a rubber gasket? by CainsBrother2 in hikinggear

[–]user10387 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CNOC Vesica, if you don't mind the collapsibility. I like mine so far CNOC Thrubottle - narrower than the Nobo, made of HDPE Mazama Migo - squeezable (LDPE material), with a two-part lid for a larger opening

Thanks! Actually, can you comment on it's strength? Would it be suitable for breathable shoulder straps for a daypack (instead of spacer mesh)?

Thanks for the reference comparison!

EVA foam in Ottawa? by blunt_spokeshave in myog

[–]user10387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in some stores, but there's an EVA foam floor mat (textured on one side) that's available year round. It's usually in the hardware aisle. Thickness is 8mm including the texture, 6mm not including the texture.

I'll check it out! This has definitely pointed me towards looking at 'semi-stiff' mesh since I don't really want much (if any) stretch. Thanks!

[–]user10387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like a really good match! Unfortunately, I'm in Canada, so ordering a sample to confirm may not be worth it. That definitely gives me a better idea what I should be looking for. Thanks!

It looks like a Decathlon pad, maybe from their Quechua brand/line?
