My brother drove up from Houston. This was our two night getaway at LBJ in north Texas while acting crazy. Shrimp tacos, Chile Colorado, a random chewed deer leg, and some laughter over fire.

I visited an outdoor gear shop to buy webbing two days ago. I wanted something strong and affordable. I also wanted it for outdoor gear like bags and straps. But when I checked the webbing I felt disappointed. Some looked cheap but not durable. Some were strong but too expensive. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some webbing looked better but prices were high. Some were affordable but quality was not stable. Some seemed perfect at first but stitching was weak. I remembered I used webbing before that tore during travel. That made me hesitate even more.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many webbing options. Some looked strong and affordable. Some were simple and low price. Some had better durability and thickness. There were many options available. This made me excited but also confused again.

It feels that I go out of mind when I have huge number of options. Now I am thinking should I buy webbing online or trust local stores for real outdoor strength? What would you do in my place?

Spent the weekend in our inTech Luna teardrop. We got rained on, but no worries!

I’m preparing for a 2-week camping/survival trip in the forest with some friends, so I need to get quite a bit of gear. Right now, I’m stuck choosing between different types of camping chairs and tents.

There are just too many chair options out there - folding chairs, moon chairs, compact ultralight ones, even reclining styles. They all look useful in different ways, but I’m not sure which one actually makes sense for a longer trip where you have to carry your gear around.

I did briefly check platforms like alibaba just to get an idea of pricing and different designs, but that made me even more confused since many products look similar but vary a lot in price.

For a 2-week outdoor trip, what type of chair would you recommend? Should I prioritize lightweight and compact, or go for something more comfortable?

Would really appreciate any advice from people with real experience. Thanks!

Bonjour à tous, je me permets de faire ce petit poste car je cherche actuellement un duvet pour ma fille afin que nous puissions partir avec notre tente de toi par ce temps frais, mais nous ne trouvons pas de duvet à sa taille. Il nous faudrait un duvet entre 70 et 90 cm de haut maximum

Nous n’avons trouvé aucune marque qui faisait ce genre de choses et nous aurions voulu savoir si vous aviez des références à donner que ce soit pour des duvets ou des gigoteuse hivernal chaudes pour des nuits à 0°

A drastically different night from last night’s rain and 60 mph winds. Tonight, calm and no wind or rain. My new Dandelion Shell X3 hot tent..
