  1. I have the 45L Osprey that always gets good reviews on these types of list. But I find the straps dig into my shoulders and affect circulation. May just be a me thing. I'll be trying out a Cotapaxi soon.
  2. I'm a big time convert. Separate cubes for shirts, boxers, socks, etc...just makes that part of traveling so much more convenient.
  3. Randomly watched Apollo 13 for the first time in years. Still a great film.
  4. I remember as a kid seeing Schindler's List and what kind of "decent" German citizen would let that kind of evil take root in their country. It's not as difficult to understand these days.
  5. I've never heard of or considered this. Color me intrigued.
  6. I don't disagree. But I'm dubious that Israel/Palestine is a particularly important issue to many people.
  7. People who go everywhere with their big headphones on. People being so disengaged from the world and the enshitification of the world probably has some connection. Similar to everyone glued to their phones (I'm a hypocrite).
  8. Think I'll check in on The Democratic Party thread, it's been a while.
  9. I'm a fan of the Hawaii time zone. Wake up and watch the morning games with my coffee. Later games with lunch. Have the afternoon for the beach.
  10. I went to a couple a few years back solo. I just walked in no reservation, no problem.
  11. My default rule is every email, text, and call is a scam and I never answer any of them (or open attachments) unless I'm certain I know who they are.
  12. I appreciate the detailed input. I got a quote a little while ago for $3,200 for a solo 7 night 60 mile highlights self-guided hike. Includes food, bag transport, and 4 hotels plus 3 refuges. Part of the cost is a single occupancy fee. Not cheap, particularly for a shorter itinerary, so I may look into the hiking club site. I'm aiming for August 2026, so hopefully rooms will be more available if I book it soon.
  13. That's amazing Bobcat. I've had it on my list to do for years and never follow through until it's too late in the season and there's nowhere to stay. Did you use one of the agencies that books the stays and transports your big pack to each stop?
