What's the best way to buy new boots right now? Should I order a couple pairs online and hope one fits? or go to a store and hope they let me try stuff on?

The Wiggly Wizard posted:Anyone who's made their own footprints care to weigh in on polycro vs tyvek? Main purpose is to prevent wear on the tent. I'd prefer a solution that leads to less waste over it's lifespan so I'm leaning toward the more durable tyvek solution. I also don't want to buy a big roll of something that I'm never going to use but it's got to be 90 x 70/62 inch. I too am very interested in this as I'm currently using a bulky blue tarp and would like something smaller. Two questions to add-on: 1) How durable is polycro on rocks? 2) If I go the Tyvek route, where do I get a small piece without having to buy a whole roll?

I just bought some marino wool socks and I am never going back to hiking in cotton. They're amazing.

I picked up two 100g containers from REI on a whim a couple weeks ago. Sounds like that was a good idea.

OSU_Matthew posted:I wanna hear more about your morning hikes... I need a pre-work routine now that I don’t have to commute. Do you just do a nearby metro park or something? I was doing this 1x/wk but then got lazy. I have the benefit of living in Denver and having a super flexible schedule so I was driving ~1 hour into the mountains and doing a quick 1-2 hour hike before coming home. It was usually trail I was familiar with so I could pick up the pace if I knew I was taking too long.

I accidentally threw away one of my waterproof gloves when taking the trash out the other day. Does anyone have a recommendation for something that's warm + waterproof? Ideally I'd like to use them when playing in the snow with my son + when snowshoeing/hiking in the snow.

Pennywise the Frown posted:Anyone have any essentials they take on a day hike? I understand like..... shoes and a phone is all you really need. But I like having stuff. I even bring a GPS so I can "ugh" about how much more trail I have left until I finish. I try to take the 10 essentials just-in-case, but your phone is good enough to cover a bunch of them.

xzzy posted:Reviews for bags say they tend to be pretty bad at actually stopping bears, but they are a lot easier to pack. I see this a lot when people talk about bags and I think it's really silly. If "they tend to be pretty bad at actually stopping bears", then they straight-up don't work and being easier to pack doesn't mean anything if the bear is more acclimated to human food and you have no food to eat

Buy a bear box plus a bunch of other backpacking equipment and then never go backpacking as much as you want

Wouldn't the bugs need to bite you in order to taste whatever sulphur you consumed?
