These are objectively the best three /out/ states in the nation. You can’t beat the ocean and they have everything.

I want to go out on a nice spot somewhere in the woods and just play something. But because my instrument is piano it's a bit difficult. Is there any acoustic keyboard instruments that are portable for outsite usage for scenarios like i described here?

Guys how the fuck do I deal with foggy glasses in winter? Am I just destined to have to deal with a freezing cold nose and avoid any cover that goes over it? I've tried so many balaclava that claim to vent through a mouth mesh and it never works

Anyone heading towards Mt Tammany today during the snow storm? This will be my first hike ever and I've decided to go for it since there will be no people most likely, and I have severe social anxiety, I feel like this is the best time to start my mountaineering phase. If I die please don't loot my body, I'll be wearing my green arcteryx jacket.

How many of you carry a traditional folding pocket knife while /out/?

Do you feel the steel used in traditional folders is outdated or that they are harder to maintain?

If you do carry one, what kind?

Unsure what board to post this in but this seems like the right board to do so. So I need something for my current setup that pulls about 150-160 watts on average. I recently purchased the image related (Jackery 300 plus w/ 40 watt solar panels) because it was on sale and it had the range of wattage I was looking for but the thing is, with both solar charging and wall plug it only seems to last an hour even though it advertises 8 hour solar charge use. I'm using it for my rog ally z1 extreme and a starlink just to game. If anyone has any recommendations let me know, I wanted something with at least 5-8 hour life but I'm not sure what to really look for. I don't know if another solar panel will help or if it's the generator itself, I was thinking about just getting the Jackery 1000 any advice is appreciated.

TLDR; Recommendations for portable generator that runs on solar for 150-160 watt setup with 5-8 hour runtime.

I am taking a wilderness medicine course in Bend soon, but I booked my flight a couple days early so I would have a few days to explore a bit, since I have never been to Oregon. I know about Mt. Hood and of course crater lake, but I am not too interested in the national park-ing lot type tourism. I am experienced in cold weather backpacking, where would you locals go if you had 3 days? I would like to do mt hood, but im not sure if it will be worth the price of a checked back to get an ice axe and spikes through TSA. I am open to any recommendations, I will weed out any that is unrealistic for this trip.

Most of the outdoor gear we buy today are all manufactured in China, and just imported, assembled, local logo slapped on, and marked up for 3 times the price. What are some outdoors gear and gadgets you've bought from Chinese websites that turned out better than expected for your outdoors need?

It's that time again guys. Post your Chinese gear hauls or experiences with gear that turned out to be trash.
