There’s $1k tents so why not a $700 backpack, sure.

Costco has the carbon fiber trekking poles on sale in-store for $26. You can get a 2 pack delivered from their website but you pay a bit more for shipping https://www.costco.com/cascade-mountain-tech-carbon-fiber-trekking-pole---2-pairs.product.100702193.html

PokeJoe posted:It's a good bag but I want to replace mine because I can't stand mummy bags, what's good but not constricting Nemo Disco or one of the other spoon shaped bags. I had the same issue because I’m a side sleeper. Or a quilt I guess

Cannon_Fodder posted:Thanks to whomever suggested a cnoc dirty water bag. That thing loving rules. Big winner in my last backpacking trip, as we just let that sumbitch hang and drank that sweet sweet filtered water off my Sawyer. Hell yeah. Yeah it owns. Makes the squeeze so much better to use, just set it and forget it.

Yeah I just got some Goodr and they've very solid for $25 glasses. I previously used some cheap 3M tinted safety glasses from Home Depot. Great if you want the cheap and "ultralight" version but I don't think they were polarized.

I usually start my research at the handful of outdoor gear review sites that actually test the products and don't just re-post whatever reviews are on Amazon. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/ https://www.switchbacktravel.com/ https://sectionhiker.com/ Most of their "top 10 gear" lists seems to be pretty close together so then I just narrow it down to personal preference.

waffle enthusiast posted:Looks like Apple is on their way to kill the inReach. Maybe eventually, but the Garmin stuff is two-way communication while the Apple stuff is currently one-way SOS. If I was SPOT or some other PLB I’d be worried.

incogneato posted:It's a really interesting development. Personally I'll still prefer the battery life and durability of an inreach, but I'm curious to see where things go in the future. There’s a sort of questionnaire you go through To determine what kind of emergency you are in which gets handed off to a call center. That starts a text conversation between you and the call center who, if needed, relays the message to local SAR. It seems like there are filters in place to separate genuine emergencies from situations where people can remove themselves from danger. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/07/apple-emergency-satellite-iphone-14/ FCKGW fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Sep 9, 2022 |

yaffle posted:Speaking of chairs - does anyone have a recommendation for a lightweight chair with a normal height seat? I have a Helinox which I like but it's so low to the ground that my now hosed knees suffer each time I get in or out of it. Maybe the Big Agnes Big Six camp chair? At 3lbs it’s not ultralight and it packs pretty big but the closest lightweight option to a regular sized camp chair you’re gonna find https://www.bigagnes.com/collections/chairs/products/big-six-camp-chair

FogHelmut posted:I just got an email from REI about a 10% bonus for trading in old gear. Has anyone ever done this? What's their trade-in requirements? Earlier this year I traded in an old tent I bought 5 years prior but only used about 3 times. They gave me better than eBay prices on it with no issues. Did the thing online and then turned it into the store for a credit.

guppy posted:I have an Australian friend who takes a bivy style tent (similar to a one-person tent, keeps fabric off your face, not the kind of bivy sack that's just, like, a fully enclosed sleeping bag) to the beach regularly to camp there. That sounds amazing and I am mega jealous of being able to just drive to a nearby beach and pitch a tiny lil shelter for myself. I'm told that kind of thing is very common there. Americans just pay $4k to stick a tent on the top of their cars instead
