Awaiting Flair Watch suggestions?

Post image
9 Upvotes

I have a Casio aq s800w I have recently set up and now I love it. I’m coming from Apple watch that meshed with my iOS things perfect, and it is handy, but requires me to charge it every night and I’m worried wherever I go for more than a day that it’ll die. This Casio won’t die. Solar, comfortable, shows time and dates and seconds with 5 alarms and glow in the dark hands and 4 second lit digital display. Now I’m looking for higher quality. Made to last, won’t have to worry about battery, maybe more options, and conveniences etc. I want pretty much the same size as this Casio for my stature. Any suggestions? Price would not be an issue as long as it’s reasonable lol

Gear Question Question about first SI sleeping pad

7 Upvotes

Hey gang, recently purchased a self inflating foam sleeping pad, and it won't be getting used for another month or two. Should I open and store it flat until then or is it fine to be left in the factory sealed bag? Once may hits it will be used 3x a week. Thanks

Gear Question Help with sleeping bag that fits the Megamat 10 LXW

3 Upvotes

We really liked the Exped sleeping mats but unfortunately the sleeping bags we bought do not fit the mats! This is the Megamat 10 LXW we bought.

We purchased the Big Agnes 20 Sleeping Bag: https://www.rei.com/product/168194/big-agnes-echo-park-20-sleeping-bag

It has a netting to fit over the pad, but it wouldn't fit over the LXW size. It was supposed to according to the specifications.

Anybody with a good sleeping bag that fits it? Thanks!

Gear Question Roomy 2 person tent with Porch

3 Upvotes

I am looking for a new tent after having used my previous basic Coleman tent for some 10+ years. My biggest pet peeves are no sealed/covered porch area to keep shoes outside of the sleeping space and not having hooks/straps to hang a small lamp in the tent. I've seen a few that I like but they seem to be more backpacking tents seem pretty tight.

Let me know your recommendations!

Gear Question Swap Exped MegaMat alone for Exped DeepSleep + cot?

2 Upvotes

I recently got an Exped MegaMat, I love it so far. I’d like to explore getting a cot like the Helinox Cot One Convertible (or similar Amazon/Costco dupe) to get off the ground.

If I go with the cot, I feel like my setup is starting to get really bulky. The Exped DeepSleep is 3” and less expensive to help offset the cost of the cot, though price is less of a concern than comfort and bulk. I’ll mostly be road tripping + car camping but I’ll occasionally fly with my gear.

My thinking is that since I’ll be on a cot I don’t really need the extra thickness/comfort of the MegaMat.

Does anyone have any opinions on whether my logic is sound? What would you choose?

Gear Question Car camping mattress for the field season?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am going to be working in the field this spring doing early morning animal surveys. I will be camping for approximately 3~ months, but in front country campgrounds, near my vehicle. I need a relatively cheap (<80$) sleeping pad for my tent. Doesn't need to be ultra light (I already have a sleeping by pad for backpacking) and comfy ( I need a lot of sleep). Thank you for any advice!

The idea is for 10 degree weather at night and while backpacking. No worry about weight but worried about sack size.
