I keep meaning to rent a fat bike in winter, how deep can the snow get and still be fun? How viable are they on ice? We get a ton of standing snow where I live but its rural so while there's lots of trails its likely id have to be breaking trail a lot of the time Got into XC Skiing this year which owns, think next year i might try and see if i can get my dogs to do dog racing, apparently its a thing here

cool cool next year ill grab a fat bike, mix it up or a snowbike  I never could get into snowshoeing, its always like not that snowy so id rather post hole or I'd have to do like a 6+ mile approach to actually needing them or id rather just hop on skis. The couple times i rented them they seemed like to much work

The Fool posted:what do you guys use for photos while hiking looking for something better than my phone, but more portable/lighter than my ancient dslr im not a camera person but i did dabble with DSLRs etc and tbh having a phone with a good camera is probably your best bet. unless you are wanting some special shots (e.g. long exposure) or shots of animals, in which case you'll probably need a big ol lense and/or tripods and the works. that said you can get special clips and harnesses that make it somewhat less annoying, i use something like this https://www.rei.com/product/132089/peak-design-capture-30-camera-clip though it still kind of pulls annoyingly at one side or another. i would probably try a vest or something with one of those chest mounts, its probably the most comfortable (tho i haven't actually used one) something like this maybe? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1345430-REG/cotton_carrier_686grey_ccs_g3_camera_harness.html

post hole digger posted:i took that picture with my iphone 15 pro from about 8-9 feet (ish) away. he was either eating or hunting down in some brush below the trail and flew up onto that branch when i walked past. oh wow ya. this is my problem with photography, modern ohones are so good and convenient, hauling a big rear end dslr around or whatever the new hotness is, is comparatively annoying

HAIL eSATA-n posted:check out the YCIAPOS thread and micro four-thirds cameras. you can get a very small very good camera for not that much $$, but if you want cool bird pics you'll need a long lens. i'm in the same boat with really only wanting a camera for hiking/backpacking. short lens will be great for landscapes, but yeah you do run into the issue of needing multiple lenses and carrying all that/changing out gear sucks. hmm ok for big bald eagles in a 100 ft tree 50-75 yards away id need a telescope got it, pass
