Scam. If you do order something to test it out, set up a virtual credit card and trash it afterwards.

An elastic band and a racquetball for stretching and myofascial release. 10-20 minutes effort in the evening helps me sleep better and get moving faster in the morning.

Ah, mine has a threaded insert that comes up out of the coffee bed and the bit that sits on top the grounds screws onto it; no flipping. I did screw it down too tight on one attempt, which jammed it up and the water didn't flow through.

I think with revisions to grind size, ratio, and water temp, I can make a decent cup. Fewer grounds got into the cup than what I was expecting. And the s&c milk probably covered up some sins.

Trying a Vietnamese phin brewer. A dollop of sweet and condensed milk in the cup.

I have some Salomon hiking shoes as well and am quite happy with them for hikes under 8 miles or so. But any longer than that, or on rougher trails, my feet do better with more protection in a Merrell Moab 3; which I picked for the wide toebox.

I would try Lems, but I don't have the budget for that quite yet. And I do get low cut Moabs, so none of the ankle rigidity that I can't stand either. I've never tried gaiters, good idea though and something I'll keep in mind.

 

I've had an absolute overkill vault for years and intend to switch to a sack (obvs unless the area has aggressive bears and/or the park specifies vaults are required).

What would you add as a luxury item to take up the newly available weight and volume? Currently leaning towards a lightweight backpacking chair. Getting up off the ground and having a backrest after a long days backpacking sounds great.

I have a 36L bag, so the vault takes up A LOT of the volume. And I shoot for midweight, say <20lbs dry weight.

Option 2, but vetoed by my frequent adventure buddy, was harmonicas for some nighttime jams. I can't play harmonica, so backwoods camp seemed like a good place to practice.

First significant post since coming over from Rexxit. Photos from a recent two-night trip through the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area in Western Colorado. We nailed the timing; biting bugs weren't too bad and while it was starting to get warm, the heat wasn't overwhelming yet.
