I’m going on a trip next month at eagle rock loop with a few friends and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on the best spots to set up camp for the night. I’ve been trying to find maps from other people that have good spots marked but I’m not able to find any. I could definitely not be looking in the right places but any advice would be appreciated. submitted by /u/JosephS6570 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey, me and my two friends are travelling to Portugal in the start of July. We will spend 10 days there. We are going to land in Lisbon and rent a car there. Then we plan to go to the Algarve region, to the south of Portugal and explore the country there. Then, we will drive back to Lisbon to spend some days there until we head back home. I would appreciate if you suggested places for us to visit. Maybe some secluded villages, authentic experiences, beautiful sights, beaches that are a must to visit, interesting places to stay at, unique restaurants and so on. We are very adventurous and want ..read more

This video explains what I keep seeing other say. One type does not fit all. Everyone has different feet. Go to a store and try stuff on. Get the right kind of shoe for the right situation. Watch for sales like the big annual REI sales or from whatever your favorite retailer is for getting your gear. If you don't need them right away, you can always get them on sale and save some money. Be sure to leave yourself enough time to break them in and truly test them to see if they are going to work before you go out and do a big trip wishing you had got something different because they rub funny an ..read more

I have the sirrus 34 womens o/s and have hiked multi-day and also tested using to commute and it works very well for me, with my wide 18" shoulders and back length. Interestingly it works best adjudted to a 40cm/16" back length. I have hip issues and this bag seemed perfect for me for longer hiking. But I am looking for a more sensible size commuter bag that would still fit a 16" laptop. I've been loking at osprey, but local stores don't have wide ranges... of these or alternatives tbh. I tried on the 28l sirrus but it seems a bit of excessive capacity, and still looks so silly for work. It i ..read more
