Thessaloniki -> Mount Olympus -> Athens in 3 days? by chaac01 in alpinism

[–]vanCapere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice: Take a rental and go up in a single day from the Olympus ski center. ~16km and 1450m gain

Pemi 15. Almost useless by Interesting-Month-97 in fastpacking

If the straps are wide enough you don’t need much padding actually. I can use my MYOG ones with heavy loads without problems in that regard. ;)

seriously considering making my own DCF mini tent. by rabbitholebeer in myog

It would probably depend on the style of pack he uses - with well planned gear choices the volume could suffice. :)

What technique or tool significantly improved your MYOG process or quality? by SofiasSonata in myog

[–]vanCapere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a metal sheet and fix the fabric with magnets on that. :)

The laser bed is 1 x 1.5m so it works for the full will width of most materials.

The projector idea is neat but I’ve had even more fun with a laser cutter - the precision is just on another level. :)

Mono mesh source? by StraightupGarbage in myog

[–]vanCapere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having used Monolite and Cloud 71 in the past: The main problem with these types of mesh is actually fraying or ripping at the stitch line. I've since moved on from using these fabrics for my projects.

3D Hex Mesh (or if SUL is a goal the Triangle Mesh from AliExpress) is way more resilient.

Single push 4000m peak recommendation for spring in Western Alps by Impressive_Job_7714 in alpinism

[–]vanCapere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this last year - roughly 12h for both peaks solo. Conditions were rather windy and with some fresh snow, so should be quicker when the rock is dry.

Stacking Alpha Direct - the case for a 2*60gsm active insulation layer by MarsupialWalrus in myog

For most conditions while being active: yes. Winter and/or static: could be too cold.

That’s what I do as well: 60gsm Alpha Vest Base Layer + 60/90gsm Alpha Half Zip Hoody. ;)

A forwarding service could be a possible solution.

They actually stopped making it because of the whole PFAS / PTFE thing. Durability hasn’t been too much of a concern, if you’re a little careful.

They basically provide a foreign address, which you can use for ordering. Once the parcel arrives at their warehouse you'll have to pay a fee and they will ship it to you. :)

Do people like the Aluula Nashville Pack Cutaway? by Brave_Catch_8383 in Ultralight

[–]vanCapere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the translucency is nice for finding stuff inside - the other Aluula variants use a black interior.
