My own Arkansas calcite was ruined by a ten-minute phosphoric acid dip.

My old North Face Stormbreak 2 has seen some real weather in the White Mountains. The key for me is a full coverage rainfly that goes almost to the ground, not those shorter modern designs. What kind of trips are you usually planning with it?

What did you end up doing for coffee instead?

Man, that's wild. I would've grabbed the lathe first every time, threading barrels is half the job.

Right? It's like finding out there's a cheat code for real life. All those years of struggling for no reason, feels like we've been living in the dark ages. My stubbornness almost made me miss out on the easiest kitchen trick ever. Guess I owe an apology to that random infomercial I laughed at years ago.
