@itsmekeli It's the NEMO Switchback, and I did not expect to love it as much as I do. Previously I was using an REI AirRail air pad and it was...fine. But somehow I'm getting better sleep on JUST the Switchback -- and I'm a side sleeper.

Thing defies the laws of physics. Bonus point with the accordion pads: I can hang it outside my pack or between the brain and body for a bit more room inside!

@MountainStateNomad I'm starting from Astoria next week.

And here is everything that will be worn or carried for the Oregon Coast Trail.

@sunumbral North to south.

I'm going to hike a trail for a month.
I'm going to walk across the length of Oregon.
Everything I need will be on my back.
It JUST sunk on.
Holy crap...

@denzilferreira That's good intel! Thank you Denzil!

Clothing for an entire month, and I feel like I'm overpacking!

@pkufeldt What a small world! I arrived Thursday and was out on Saturday. We may very well have passed each other at some point.

Those sunset photos from your camp site look sublime!

And yea, that roller coaster (on Willow Ridge Road?) really tested my endurance on Day 3. Nature never stops humbling us.

@rscottjones Thanks, that's awesome! I'm doing the Oregon Coast Trail.

My blog has an RSS feed, and it's going to be very active starting next week as I begin my first thru-hike! Would love to have you follow along with my adventures:

@intrepidhero Ohhhhh mannnnnnn that looks awesome.

Most of my big hiking adventures so far have happened in Yosemite. But for my second backpacking trip, I felt like I should escape my Yosemite bubble, get out of my comfort zone, and experience something new. Enter Henry Coe, the largest state park in Northern California at 87,000 acres.

@Stretch882 I cannot think of a single thing, honestly.

@chrislw @mike This also applies to Star Trek movies!
I: OK
II: Fantastic
III: Meh
IV: Fantastic
V: Awful
VI: Fantastic
VII (Generation): Meh
VIII (First Contact): Fantastic

@mlabowicz Way to look on the bright side!

@cienmilojos OHHHHHHH.

@cienmilojos I don't remember paying more than $40 for a PC game, but maybe I should refresh my memory.

@sunumbral No, yea, that's a paywall. We're paying with our information!

@cienmilojos This launch is going to get ugly real fast.

“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions,” Nintendo said in a statement provided to Polygon. “Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”

Oh shit...
