Wanted to do some charcoal grilling. Debating between a standing charcoal grill or one of those tabletop bincho grills.
Curious if there are risks to doing this on a private apt roof in New York
My 16 year old Nalgene finally cracked at the threads. Here's to the next 16 or more hopefully :)
I don't see many Penta posts here, so I figured I'd share mine. Pictured here providing some much-appreciated shade at the beach.
I'm wondering if the luxury low beach is a better choice because my shoulders would be above the top of the backrest poles. Or maybe if the low beach isn't wide enough the luxury low beach is made similarly enough that I should just move on.
Can anyone with both chairs measure the distance between the top backrest poles? Thanks!
Last year, Portland unveiled the Central City Task Force, and I chimed with my POV on what I see as the biggest blocker to a more lively downtown. I actually had multiple landlords reach out, each offering great deals on their spaces, but this building at 3rd and Taylor had what we needed in terms of space and storage (since much of our business is still online).
This was last May/June, the lease was signed in December and after demo, permitting, re-permitting, construction, I got the keys this morning. We're still a ways out from opening, a few weeks until I can get in there and build the retail fixtures out, but it feels so real now.
A huge thank you to The Standard Insurance, my landlord, who has been absolutely fantastic to work with and has helped get this project to where we're at today. Hope to see y'all around in the coming months!
Stretching the definition of backpacking tent with the Vault Ivory
Thinking about picking up the 400mm sized legs for my IGT setup. I need to ask, is it too low to cook/eat?
I have the expanding legs from Stanluck that I’ve been using and the lowest they go is 550.
I purchased this jacket some months ago and have actively worn it -- but because I bought it second hand, I have become quite paranoid about it possibly being not authentic, despite me not being able to find any fakes of these on the internet. It was brand new with tags from a seller on Vinted who had a lot of good reviews and I have compared tags with the few listings found online and exterior details with stock images and they seem to check out, but I would appreciate a final reassurance. Any help is appreciated!
Hi everyone. I'd like to have a IGT set up like this. Not sure how the CK-119TR curved corners link up but I'm guessing it's a Right plus a Left? Could anyone confirm if that's correct and if it was satisfactory? Thanks a million!
I've been keeping a browser tab open for the Noga chair on the .co.jp site for months, watching for clues. Its release date remains TBD after ten thousand refreshes. Has anyone heard any news about when the Noga table and chair might be available in the US? I live in an urban area and have been hoping to pick these up as an easy option to carry on transit while going to summer movies/concerts/picnics in the city parks.
I recently picked up a new unopened lounge shell from a local seller, who purchased the kit but did not use for all these years.
I worried that the seam tape maybe worn out due to age and PU coating might be bad. But all was in order minus the seam tape maybe a little brittle due to age.
I quickly set it up in my backyard to check it out.
Story time! I’m posting here mostly because I’m not even sure what else to do at this point.
I bought an Alpha Breeze from REI just over a year ago. I saved up for it because it was definitely not a cheap tent for me but I bought it because I didn’t want some corporate garbage tent.
On our last trip, my girlfriend and I noticed two tears in it.. one on the outer corner of the tent and one on the inside corner. She also says we’re missing two velcro pieces it never had but every time she explains where they’re supposed to be, I get more confused, so I can’t say exactly where they’re missing from.
Since I bought it just over a year ago, I’m now slightly outside the REI return window. 6 days!! I reached out to Snow Peak and they have honestly been amazingly responsive so far. They sent me a FedEx label so I could send the tent in for inspection and possible repair, awesome right?!
Here's where everything went wrong...
I'm out of town for work until tomorrow, so I texted my girlfriend an hour ago and asked her to go into our storage unit and pull out the Alpha Breeze so I could send it in tomorrow morning.
Silence.
She calls me back 30 minutes later and tells me she threw it into our apartment complex's dumpster because she thought the tent was garbage now...
I wanted to throw up.
Even worse, the dumpster was picked up this morning.
So now I am not just slightly out of the return window. I am fully out my Alpha Breeze.
This is all happening right before my family’s 4th of July camping trip... of course. I was planning to use this tent for four days, so now I have to resort to buying a Prime Day tent (ironic, I know) just to get something I can afford. Probably a Coleman. I don't even know if I can afford that...
I’m mostly just venting. Snow Peak customer service has been amazing so far and I feel bad because they did exactly what I hoped they would do. The problem is now the tent they were supposed to inspect/repair is probably sitting in a landfill somewhere with my entire camping budget attached to it.
Anyway, happy almost July 4th! We'll be the couple in the cheap tent quietly admiring my brother's Amenity Dome 3 and thinking about how fast a year goes by when you actually need to return something...
I'm thinking of buying the following until I can get another Alpha someday (work is not the best right now).
(not sure if links are allowed in here)
$41.99 - Amazon Basics 4 person tent.
$47.49 - Campros CP 3 person tent
Purchase this set in Seattle at their new location before heading off to Banff for the week.
Would love to see some threads catering to Snow Peaks tents - just one at a time to foster some discussion and reviews (for the ones already released).
Got the chance to check out the snow peak summer sale this last weekend. As expected it was a mix of used gear, returned items, and some stuff I’ve seen at past warehouse sales.
When I first arrived at the door I noticed there wasn’t much out for sale. But as it got closer to opening time they started filling the tables with more items, there was a decent line by 6:30 but nothing crazy like the warehouse sale in Portland.
Most high value items were gone within the first 5 minutes of the sale starting, everyone jumped for the snow peak tote bags M and L sizes and the chairs that were on the back wall.
From what I can recall they had the following items on sale:
-Mini hozuki (battery) $25
-SP points gift neckties $10
-Ladle, spatula, & bamboo ladle $10 each
-Apparel (Lots of grey, cream, & black colored sweat shirt/pants/hoodies) $25
-Vests $100
-Chairs (variety) $75-$100? (Only a handful set out)
-Aurora bottle $50 (Only had 1)
-Urban Umbrella $25 (lightly damaged, only had 1)
-Multi function table open, both L&R versions $75
-IGT camp kitchen set (Only saw 1 or 2?)
-IGT 830mm legs (Only saw 1)
-Trek 700 set?
-Giga power stove, 2.0, lite max, and one bi-pod stove
-New Balance boots
-Sandals
-Tote M $50 (Lot of stock)
-Tote L (Only a handful)
-Hats
-Used Alpha Breeze
-Looked like returned Toya 2
-A ton of new Elfield tents
-Used Land Locks
-Used Amenity Dome M Ivory & classic color
-Used Hexa evo pro ivory $250 (Only saw 1)
-Used pack & carry fire L $75
-Used Grill bridge L
-Used Grill L
-Used red folding chairs $25
-Used Giga Power BF Lantern $100?
-Used cots $100 (All missing or had broken poles)
-Used sleeping mats $50 (Almost all leaking or damaged badly)
-A junk box full of items broken or with missing pieces $1-$25
Second day we stopped by we saw the following added:
-Rumple quick dry towels
-Rumple blankets
This is just what I saw from the first 2 hours of the sale first day and about an hour late Sunday. Definitely was more used tents I missed.
Even though I knew it was going to be used gear, I was surprised to see how much broken items they were trying to sell for $50-$100. Even some broken lights in the junk box were marked at $25. The tents used on site like the land locks had broken poles or needed to be re-coated. Besides the used gear, I feel like prices were better at the warehouse sale for a lot of items.
Overall not sure if it’ll go again for the Summer Sale. but I was lucky enough to grab a few items I’ve been eyeing and met some pretty cool people!
Me and my partners haul:
-Limited black low chair 30 chairs x2
-White mini hozuki
-Bamboo Ladle
-Spatula
-Grey Hoodie
-Aurora bottle
-Urban Umbrella
-Necktie x2
-Multifunction table extension R
-Bottle cap for H300
-Hexa Evo Pro Tarp
Just wanting to know if these are genuine. They arrived - from a different seller - in terrible condition. They say they're made of titanium but im really not sure. Can't find anything else like them via snow peak.
Thanks
I’m a little sad the anodizing didn’t happen in part of the bottom left corner of the mug but I love the gradient overall!
Awesome to see other set ups and offerings by snow peak!! very curated camping beautifully done.
