Kakwa 40 Sizing Guide? (+ Sub-10lb UL Pack Critique)

Hey everyone,

I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on the Durston Kakwa 40, but I’m having trouble tracking down the official sizing guide/chart for it. I can find the one for the Kakwa 55 easily, but not the 40. Does anyone know if they share the exact same torso fitment, or is there a specific chart I'm missing?

I have a sub-10 lb base weight and my kit is incredibly low-volume. The 40 seems like the absolute sweet spot, whereas the 55 would just leave me with a bunch of floppy, empty dead space.

While I'm at it, I would love some critiques and suggestions on the rest of my gear layout to see where I can optimize further. If your curious about a selection then expand the piece of gear and see if there is a description, I explain a lot of the rational in my choices in those descriptions.

Appreciate any insight on the sizing or the gear line-up!

Acquiring P. Aztecorum [medicinal]

I was having trouble finding any syringes or spore of P. Aztecorum anywhere online, does anyone know where I could acquire some? I am planning to do outdoor cultivation on the Colorado front range, Aztecorum seem like the perfect strain for my environment due to their hardiness in high altitude environments, and overall qualities.

Frozen Spawn Bags [medicinal]

Hey guys, around August I froze these spawn bags and one of them was 3/4, and the other was 1/2 done. It is now May and I have taken them out of the freezer to thaw in my basement that is between 60 and 70, I have also done a break and shake. what are my chances for the mycelium to be able to recolonize the spawn bags, and is there anything i can do to speed up the process, I plan to plant these outdoors.

Is the R12 V2 a good first buy?

I was thinking of getting into sim racing and I was wondering if the Moza R12 was a good first buy as a wheel base. I’ve also seen that the ideal setup is mix and matching different companies for each individual part, so I was wondering what the optimal and best pairing would be, including pedals, wheel, accessories, and cockpit.

Short recording of Cinebench R23 Benching with my Current settings

Hello everyone, recently I've gone down the extensive rabbit hole of GPU and CPU optimizations. After much trial and error I was able to find good results. I am doing all of this on a pretty clean slate laptop that has been setup with a debloated image of Win11 from MicroWin. My general question is what I can do to push my results even further.

I am also running MSI Afterburner, 2480 @ 900mv, with 900 MHz memory clock on my RTX 4080.

I am running the following Throttle stop settings, I have not changed any TPL settings in TS:

I am running 38/16 efficiency core ratio and a 120 mv offset at 800mv for extra UV.

To find those values and settings I used a spreadsheet and tracked each point to find the sweet spot. My core issue is thermal throttling with p-core 0 when I push the thermal limits, it seems to be a preferred core. Here are the tables I made:
