No.QuarterWent camping on a rainy weekend and realized I forgot to bring boots, had to make a stop at REI as soon as my Vans were soaked through. And soon realized I forgot some of the most essential rainy day items
Congrats, you are now a member of the PNW club. Welcome.
Just bought a secondhand Nikon Z6. Sending it to the US to get a ha mod. I self modded a cheaper camera a year ago which turned out to only be usable with very few lenses.
I live in Boise Idaho so mainly the Payette river (South Fork and Main). I just started boating this summer but its a ton of fun, I'm hoping to get a trip out to the Salmon next spring!

Oh heck ya, I'll be moving to Horseshoe Bend in a few months so I have a lot of runs on the main in my future. The Salmon is sick too.
Yooo you gotta let us know how the Klints ride I’ve been eyeing those since they made a comeback

What is an HA mod?

H-alpha is a low energy wavelenght at around 565nm. This is at the edge of our human perception. Camera sensors have filters in front of them that allow around 20% of h-alpha transmission. A h-alpha mod will allow nearly 100% h-alpha transmission. This is interesting as most emission nebula in space have clouds of burning hydrogen which emmit H-alpha. Any astro images you see that contain a lot of red nebula were most likely shot with a h-alpha mod.

Their not Klints but don’t blame u, the logo is pretty much the same just turned 90°.
They’re SGN skis made in Norway and they produce the prettiest skis i’ve ever seen, which only look better in real life

Your AFD has not been set high enough so you still have slack there. Posi 3 on the front screw of the toe turned clockwise will raise it. I raise it without the boot in it till the bottom visible screws are becoming partly covered by the raising AFD. Then place the boot in the binding with a business card placed under the toe above the AFD before you click in. Then yank HARD on the rear cuff of the boot to try and wheelie the toe and then test to see if you can easily remove that business card. Should be tight enough/no slack so that the business card has resistance even when you’re pulling back hard on the boot cuff.
I usually find the bottom screw ends up being 1/3 to 1/2 covered by the raised AFD after adjustment. Should look similar to this.
The forward pressure gauge is a scribed area on the back of the heel and is correct if the ends of the black plastic area beside it land within that area. Easy to get the right forward pressure by lifting that lever on the heel allowing the heel to slide back and forth and then moving it forward until it contacts the boot sitting in the toe about to “click in” to the binding. Simply snap the heel lever down and it should look into one of the notches. Then actually click into the binding and check the scribed area vs the end of the plastic beside it. Looks like this adjusted properly.

Sweet thanks greg 🙏🙏 I was beginning to think I just had tiny business cards
This phone is the shizzz of shizzies! No Fing tracking etc., and damn near indestructible!
Loving this thing. Had to switch up with Verizon soon ending 3G.
Yeah you really can't beat the price and cool color options. I just wondered if there was some performance advantage that you noticed? Or just value overall?
Sooooo I just bought 3 round trip flights for a total of ~$500... Not guaranteed I'm going (although I'm off work) but can always cancel and use points elsewhere. Too good to pass up now that the ski season planning has officially begun.

Found some ski swap magic at mad river glen yesterday… these 95 underfoot bombers will crush those cold groomer days when im not usually that motivated to get up for the open. Also paid $200 cash for a $2000 ski in 99/100 condition

Skis priced above $900 is arbitrary and meaningless. It's a slippery composite plank strapped to your feet, there is really not that much to it for something to be actually worth $2000
SGNs are so sick. I remember writing Åre skidfabrik back in the day to ask about excess inventory from CMD lol Anything Åre skidfabrik makes is a great product

How many moments do you have now? You’re not trying to make me jealous. You’re trying to punish me

Don’t worry, I think your $2000 skis are sick

CatdickBojanglesAlmost bought a pair of these. Still waiting on my Gripwalk soles from FT though.
I was trying to decide between these and the brown ones. Still might cop the too cause u can never have too many mitts lol. What boots did u get a grip walk sole for? I know some supply chain shit has been slowing up orders. My order got split and I only received the mitts and still waiting on the t shirt

I got the gripwalks for my FC-10s. Talked to them the other day and they didn't really know when the order would be in so I am just chilling on the paid list waiting for them to come.
