       In the latest edition of “prove my geekiness” I am in love with this new flashlight. Tiny, super bright, runs an open source OS to perform dozens of functions and modes, and has these beautiful auxiliary LEDs that stay on, like it’s a little jewel. So fun. #flashlight #hanklight #emisarD4V2

       It’s taken about 4 years of refinement but I am very proud of my “total comfort” lightweight backpacking gear. I’ve managed to take a 30 degree sleep system with 3” pad & pillow, a cook system w/ stove/fuel, clothes, a 2-person shelter with bug protection, water filtration and storage, lights, a CHAIR!! and a variety of other bits and pieces, all housed in a KS Ultralight pack for just a little over 11lbs (5kg). I love it, and unpack/repack to soothe my brain. 🏕️ #backpacking #camping #hiking

       @feritae @vees Here’s a few shots from various trips. ☺️  The shelter is a Locus Gear Khufu in DCF.

       @vees @feritae I have both an original Nitecore NU25 headlamp and a Flextail Tiny Pump 2 (which is both a pad inflator and a camp lantern). Yes I do count both of those in the weight but they are both extremely small and light.

       I realized I had a shot of everything unpacked so I labeled things. A few things have changed and I didn’t include the umbrella or raincoat in the weights since those are not taken on every trip, but this is most of the current line up.

       Thanks a lot, Florida. Your idiot leaders have now taken away my daughters' ability to take an AP Psychology class, which would have started in a week. In turn, this is taking away her chance to earn college credit, and therefore also is going to cost me money. I really appreciate your closeminded bullshit. 😡 https://newsroom.collegeboard.org/statement-ap-psychology-and-florida

       @todayilearned I’m sure it could be, but we tried to install tonight and our library doesn’t participate 😥

       @vees I did that job on a 2019 I believe and the 67 steps on iFixit was a little daunting, I will admit. Got it working again though and still have it as a backup machine.
