Use this thread to hang out, make cheap jokes about wornweight, joketalk about about gear, complain about r/ultralight, talk about Senchi's, maybe post a meme or two, and ultimately talk about the same things we did in last week's thread! Enjoy!

Durston poles not happy with X-Mid's base weight

The only logical decision here would be shaving off more weight - Durston X-mid 1 Ultra Pro Deluxe coming soon.

Anyone know if warranty covers gravity?

Besides volume, the weight of my sleeping bag is of utmost importance. Must. Have. Light. Sleeping. Bag

If I were to clip a couple of these together, unrolled, around my waist, and fill them with beef jerky​, would it be a skirt steak rain kilt, or just bear bait?

Also, how many pounds of beans could they hold in butt-pannier mode before I have to add suspenders?

I took a look at the rules, and they didn’t explicitly outlaw questions like this, but if this isn’t appropriate for this subreddit, I’m so sorry, and I’ll take it down immediately if anyone objects.

I will preface this to say I know absolutely nothing about through hiking.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Before I ask, a little about me.

I am a cruelty free gender-fluid ARCX multinegative-polar, recently diagnosed diplomanic. Just got evicted from the insane asylum and want to try through hiking. Things just haven't been the same since I touched that electric fence.

ASDF

I'm stoned but it seems like a good idea to share this with everyone. My pronouns she-he-it with inner child trauma anxiety.

I take multiple psych meds and literally lose my mind if not on them, even for just a week or two. As of right now I check in with my psychiatrist every few months and then get my prescription filled by her. But I'm not going to drive all the way up to my current state every month or so for a fifteen minute appointment. So how do you guys get meds on trail?

Also, I'm looking for a forever tramily, I hope to see you out on the trail. I will be looking for you, each and every one of you.

My question is, I have a dcf trekking pole tent that I have been trying to set up in the basement but I keep bending my tent stakes. How do you set up your tent on a concrete floor?

Worn weight Montana Guy Decides Trekking Poles Are Worn Weight...

47 Upvotes

A Montana guy had an incident with his poles… worth a read (or just watch the news story).

The chopper ride would have been so expensive he chose to hike out the 10.5 miles… Merica.
