Alan takes us through his thinking regarding planning, including weather considerations, a shakedown trip, training, simplifying his gear and making sure he'd enjoy himself(!) He also chooses to do it in late winter conditions and he rocks a hammock.
Ah ok, I'm on desktop and iOS. Interestingly, this thread is displayed significantly differently on desktop, and apps Memmy and Thunder. Nested comments are chopped off (differently) on the apps and I don't see the images on them though they show up on desktop. Guess it's early days still.
Finding Andrew’s Core 13 series was a huge relief for me; figuring out clothing in an ultralight context had been perplexing because there’s so much apparent individual variation and this make it all quite clear. I feel it’s helped me travel more safely, comfortably and with more confidence.
I’m honestly not sure what, if anything is the standard operating procedure is for galleries.
this seems to be the case, i've searched around and only found other people asking the same question. it does seem that you can include images inline in posts, but i guess links to images after the first image don't work? let me try 2 images and see what it looks like:
Hello from !ultralight@lemmy.world, I always wanted more overlap between r/ultralight and r/myog personally, they go hand in hand. Stop by and say hi :)
Hello from !ultralight@lemmy.world — I’m hiking the Uinta Highline Trail in Sept and am testing an Antigravity Gear rain jacket 2.0 in preparation for thunderstorms. What about you @Number1?
I’ll get a pixelfed or something and share a gallery here
is that the standard way to share images here? i'm not sure i've seen an image gallery yet on lemmy
haha that roadwalk sounds rough. i definitely know the way from Walker Pass to Kennedy Meadows South, as I traversed between there 3 different times last year, twice by hitchhike and once by trail. My shoes died unexpectedly early on the way out of Hiker Heaven and I had some shipped to me in Tehachapi but they were delayed, and instead of get stuck in town I hobbled to Walker Pass, hitched to KMS, bought shoes in KMS, hiked SOBO back to Walker Pass, then hitched back to Tehachapi, then hitched to KMS. It... was exhausting and stupid lol but I didn't want to stop. I kept going and had a blast but burned myself out by South Lake Tahoe and made it as far as Sierra City before calling it. I was trying to hike cheap and fast and it worked but i learned that i just don't have the mental and physical toughness that some folks do, which was a tough pill to swallow. that desert has a stark beauty to it though, and i'm trying to figure out how to get back out there.
WA state is beautiful, I've hiked through it on the PCT and would love to go back one day! How was Baker Lake?

I feel like the aspects of mindset, fitness, and being informed, both by experience and research get overlooked...
The answer surprised me.

A great example of how much you can do with lighterpack. It does make you wonder how many backpacks he owns though...
