Hey wanna start gear out with a jacket thread. Found a good video comparing price and waterproofness. Its motorcycle related but it should translate to outdoors and prepping.

Good shit, will check it out/discuss more in a little bit. I'm about to fly to Boston and idk if I'm gonna cough up the shekels for in-flight internet

Understandable. And they wonder why airlines are always fileing for bankruptcy.

The wifi pass was $16

Fuck that

What are you using the jacket for btw? @MEME Fister

Just for everyday stuff or camping

Let me see if I have ot near me

It's called the apex flex

Breaths well and keeps you dry

Looks nice

So goretex is better for outerwear than for footwear, I take it? People always seem to say that goretex boots aren't worth it

It depends

From my prospective and experience leather is more robust

Not as light and waterproof. So untra light backpackers will pay more moneyies for it. Keep in mind though these type of people are freaks and will chop off the handle of their toothbrush to the head just to save a couple of ounces.

But Goretex is good for jackets

lol this is true

>people are freaks and will chop off the handle of their toothbrush to the head just to save a couple of ounces
>mfw I've seen people like this

I know. And the wierd ass tarp/treck pole abortion thing they use is not ok

Just bring a tarp and some rope if you gonna do that

what like trekking pole tents?

Sorta

It uses the trekking pole as the pole In the tent

Sounds good on paper but if a bust down on your pole. And it will happen you are kinda fucked

sounds like a shit time

Yeah it's a shit meme

But I feel like gear has been getting lighter

Just people do bring useless shit

random question: did you get your roles successfully? I can't see them on my end

Let me see. I've never got a role before

It looks like the buttons are fucking broken

Here's what it looks like

Ahh yeah I've seen those

>bro sleeping pads are extra weight I'm young and healthy bro

But pads keep you warm desu

yes

you'll fuck your body up sleeping on the ground too

I highly recomend owning a hatchet, used for firewood, and for general lumber, also super easy to find
