  3. #Canada #Backcountry types: what’s you go-to navigation option for backcountry/FSR navigation?

    Currently I’m using Avenza with purchased BC Backroads Mapbooks maps installed and it works pretty well, although the maps aren’t stitched together and so I often find myself having to switch from one map to the next, on the fly. I see Backroads has their own app now, which looks promising but it’s subscription-based, which I hate.

  5. Camp Muir, Rainier National Park. 8 mi, 4,640 ft (again). #PNW #hiking #backcountry #skiing

    The 2024 trip was in late July. Went in late May this time for more snow coverage.

    We were able to skin pretty much the whole way up except for the first 0.3 miles, over Panorama Point, and across Pebble Creek. Skied pretty much the same amount down.

    Conditions were considerably better this time. There was even a tiny bit of fresh snow that had been falling during the ascent!

  7. does anyone know of any light, 4 season, 1 person tents for tall lanky bastards? ideally <2kg.

    i've been lugging a 2 person macpac up the hills, i can sleep in it diagonally... which aside from the weight has been _ok_. but the plastic is disintegrating

    event better: anyone know a fix for when tents plastic starts getting sticky? i think the waterproofing is failing.
