We picked up a ‘25 ascent for the wife earlier this year. It’s a fun car to drive.

What do ex-military think of The Outpost
Depends on the year and location but generally an accurate portrayal of COP life in Afghanistan IMHO.
Free standing: BA copper spur
Trekking pole: Durston x mid. IF I had the money I’d have gotten a Zpacks ultaplex and I still might after my Xmid needs replacing.
Pack is tough not knowing your base weight.

Stowe VT - Dinner recs
Posted by KI5NKM on 9/28/25 at 7:45 pm
Heading to Stowe next week and looking for nicer diner recs.
Got Michael’s on the Hill covered but looking to add one more spot for Saturday night.
TIA.

FWIW
We were in the same position earlier this year.
Picked the Subaru ascent over the GH. No regrets so far.

Clear springs FTW.
Just don’t tell too many people about it.

Honda has probably the best AWD system in the industry.
For fuel efficiency yes. But it’s a part time system so that makes sense.
I find Subaru’s system is better in terms of vehicle handling.

99.9% sure a classic jack 100 is the route we’re going to go.

have a Kodiak 10x10 VX Deluxe and I am just blown away with it. I bought it in 2020 and I've probably spent 80-100 nights in it. I forego my dad or uncles travel trailer so I can sleep in the tent.
Thanks for the feed back. That tent is on my shortlist. Springbar classic Jack is the other.
I like the extra vestibule option better on the Kodiak.
Canvas tent anyone?
Posted by KI5NKM on 7/12/25 at 7:00 pm
Just returned from a weeklong trip in the smokies and our car camping tent has given up the ghost.
We typically camp typically 25/30 nights a year. AR, LA, and up the east cost typically along the blue ridge are where we head for now.
State parks and national parks are our typical bases.
Space/weight isn’t an issue since this is specifically for car camping.
Before I just pick up another nylon tent, canvas has peaked my interest. Specifically Kodiak and springbar. Anyone using either or a similar style?
Current tent is a Big Agnes Tensleep station.

re: Does anyone here have a son who recently joined the Marines?

However, you may want to discuss with him about going to college first and then going to the marines upon graduation
This is why I went the reserve route.
Joined May 2001. Went to recruit training, came home and did my first year at UL (at the time there was a TOW Plt in Broussard).
I was lucky and got to deploy a couple times. Yeah it took me 10 years to get my BA but at the end of the day I got that piece of paper debt free and gained a lot of experience doing it.
I don’t regret my path in the slightest.

With grades like that, go to college via ROTC and join whichever branch as an officer.
He’d be better respected and have more knowledge on how to lead marines as a mustang coming out of the enlisted side vs coming straight out of OCS to the fleet. Again reserve route is the way to go.

I'm looking for information on the trail but haven't found much yet apart from the webpage and facebook page.
I took the google map from their website and converted it to gpx then pushed it over to Gaia.

A recent capt Jack video with the founder of the trail where he said it's 40% road walking.
That’s still 200 miles of road walking. Jupiter Hikes just did the Florida trail with a skateboard. That’s how I’d roll if I’d ever did the Louisiana trail.

Capt Jack posted a new video about his upcoming hike of the Bayou State Trail here in Louisiana.
Over half of it is road walls.
No thanks.

If you’re looking for a shuttle, Ron’s Appalachian Trail service is who i always use. Man is a treasure of the trail.
I was in Ramadi in 05/06 running out camp blue diamond.
Looking forward to this one.

Very happy with my Toyo AT3s.
Pretty quiet and preform really well in the rain.
Will get them again.
