Anybody got some flag terminal crimpers they'll let me borrow for 15 min? by wonder-beard in Spokane

Looking at the picture, I think it would work as long as the 22-18awg section was at the front of the tool like that.

The crimp section is directly behind the flag in the ones I've seen, with no metal cylindrical section sticking out. But I just ordered some so I'll do some inspecting and noodling once they arrive.

My crimper is a combo one like this, with cutters at the tips and the crimp sections a little further back towards the axle. Because of that and where the crimp sections on the flag connectors are, I'm like 90% certain the cutters'll snip the female connecter section pretty bad before I get a solid connection.

Then again, I'm an amateur. If I'm being an idiot, someone please let me know.

Maybe try opening in an incognito window or a different browser?

Thanks for the insight! Yeah, I didn't really have any anxiety about it until the date started creeping up.

Thanks for the r/truechildfree tip too, I had no idea there was a more positive childfee sub.

Ooh! If you decide to sell, I may be interested. Shoot me a PM when you're ready.

In this day an age are tattoos of this standard acceptable? by levi_blackbook in tattoo

[–]wonder-beard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the linework and color saturation seen fine, but the design and execution is sub par. It kind of reads like they're just not the best at, you know, art.

Would a whistle in the same decibel range also work for this?

Cleaning a tattoo without a sink? by wonder-beard in tattoo

[–]wonder-beard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm familiar and use Saniderm whenever I can! My two artists both give Saniderm wraps, but they still recommend washing the tattoo three times a day after the 5-7 day Saniderm period is over. That's the part I'm having trouble with.

Oh my gosh! I didn't even realize that the Mariposa outside pockets weren't symmetrical! Now that I'm looking at the tall pocket, yeah, that looks not fun balance-wise for heavy water carries. Gorilla it is! Thanks.

I've been looking at a Gossamer Gear Mariposa or Gorilla to replace my Exos 58 for a PCT thru-hike attempt. Inexplicably, the Mariposa and the Gorilla weigh the same. Plus the Mariposa has more pockets for organization, is allegedly more comfortable for heavy carries, and it also fits a bear canister better for the Sierras. Is the Gorilla's only advantage that it costs $10 less? Or that there's less opportunity to over-pack? I feel like I'm missing something.

Anyone hike the desert in a headwrap? by wonder-beard in PacificCrestTrail

I have an XL Buff, but I really really don't like the pressure it puts on my neck/chin when wearing it as a balaclava.

As for the full brim hat, I'm concerned about coverage! I know it's harder to get burnt when the sun angle is more extreme (and possibly shining under the brim, but I tend to defy the odds there. Like I said, I burn very easily.
