    Mystery Ranch Accessories

    MR sold to Yeti. They’re not getting out of making packs, just rebranding the recreational portion of their line to Yeti. Don’t know how their repair service will be impacted, if at all.

    Best pack for a growing kid…

    https://www.rei.com/product/241165 I got my son a Gregory Wander 70. He still needs to grow into it, but it feels like a nice pack.

    1P tent recommendations

    Came to parrot Durston. Will likely get rid of all my other tents once the X Dome comes out in a 2P. The Xmid1 is bomber. His stuff is beyond reasonable. For compare, I also have a Nemo Kunai and a Sea to Summit Telos TR3.

    Lowa Tibet rebuild or replacement suggestions?

    I’d look at Hanwag Alaskas if you’re considering new. I got a pair of Lowa Banffs, and compared to my Hanwags, there’s no comparison. They just feel cheap. Got them for $120 when REI was closing them out. They offer the Alaska in a size 15 which might work, check sizing as numbers aren’t...

    They did sell to Yeti earlier this year, though that's not a brand known for being 'cheap'.

    Anyone still using an old Garmin Inreach?

    Integrated batteries are easily replaced with Amazon or eBay batteries and, at worst, you have to order a $50 micro soldering kit. It’s worth looking into.

    Anyone still using an old Garmin Inreach?

    I was thinking of pausing ZOLEO after upgrading my iPhone15 to iOS 18. It is much easier to use the ZOLEO. iOS 18 requires you to stop what you're doing, search for a few minutes, then point your phone at a satellite and wait for it to connect and then send messages. Takes a few minutes. ZOLEO's...

    0 Degree Sleeping Bag for Big Guys

    Personally. I’d try to get into both and see if the 6’6 needs to be ruled out. I’m only 6’3, so 6’6 bags are fine for my smaller stature.

    WTS Rab Microlight / Microlight Alpine XL

    Rab Microlight and Microlight Alpine (Hooded) jackets. Size XL. No rips or tears or holes. The Alpine jacket is just about brand new. Only discoloration on either is in the collar of the Microlight. Size is XL, which is no longer my size. Stuff sacks are included. Awesome, warm jackets. They...

    Mammut Taiss Mid Gtx

    Don’t know, but looking back, I should’ve bought a 47/13 vs 46-2/3//12.5. Until I started paying attention to European sizing, fit was usually hit or miss for me.

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    EMS makes like a buck or two over minimum wage if they work private

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    $200k/yr to drink beer all day seems underpaid to me, especially when you consider that they’ll be forced to retire in 25 years with only 95% pension (on highest grossing years which include saved up vacation) with which to buy the beer

    Mammut Taiss Mid Gtx

    I have like 80 miles in mine. One of my feet is high volume so the one side wrap tongue doesn’t seal too well, but I’ve had them on in snow, marshes and creeks and only ever got wet over the top. My 12.5s (should’ve got 13s) are 712 grams. They’re crazy light, very stiff and have a very nice...
