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

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

anyone have recommended masks

You mean Bentoning a knife is just a meme.

Why is that?

I always here that on /out/ but if it's full tang and not cheap shit then I don't see the problem

Just get a hatchet bruh. Why put for stress on a knife desu?

Why carry a hatchet if a knife can do the same job though

Not saying in every instance but often

Hatchets are small enough. And can compensate with a smaller knife.

That's true

Hey boys remeber that face masks are only efffective agains virus if they are rated N95 or higher.
