@GeneralAnubis Have fun on your trip. I lived a year abroad (working for outward bound) with one 60 pound backpack from summer through a snowy winter. Think about laundry and how quickly something will dry washed out in the sink the night before. Also buying what you need as stuff wears out works well.
I bought these. I really didn’t need them. But I did test them and they were pretty solid. Don’t be like me and buy them if you don’t need them. But if you think you might these are nice.
@hchavers The scuttlebutt I’ve heard is that the hamsters went on strike for better conditions and an increased supply of paper towel cores. A bunch of crickets have been promised asylum from the horned lizards if they can keep the wheels turning until the hamsters relent. (It doesn’t seem to be working.)
These are a great example of something that looks like a good idea but was never actually used in testing. Inflating pillows are just miserable, I’d prefer a chopped up memory foam pillow anytime. These pillows will make your ears sweat.
@tightwad Yes. Inflating pillows tend “bounce” a bit when you move your head and I find don’t give the “right” kind of support. I also prefer the chopped up foam pillows that you can squash into a small package - or they roll into themselves. If you go that route though watch out for zippers. The HEST travel pillow is great, provided your face stays off the zippers (and expensive, I bought a “return” for less than half the price). I had to craft fleece “covers” for the zippers to pad them (attached by sewing one side by hand and small stick on velcro tabs on the other. Make sure the “tooth” part of the velcro is not going to catch hair so you want it to point “down” towards the pillow and not “up” towards your face.
My “preferred pressure” in a pillow is “none” before my head is resting on it. And I’d wake up with my head in a sodden mess on one of these because of the impermeable surface. DNW.

About to have to sell everything, pack stupidly light, and travel across the world. Sounds like a perfect fit. In for a pack for my wife and I!

Go for it. There will never be ‘a better time’.

Did Dave forget to feed the hamsters again?

They look less comfortable than the herd class airline seat. Stiff neck pass.

Déjà blew.
When’s the good meh
“Pitch and Trek” because you pitch it out?
Would you believe I’m sitting on one that I bought last time right now? Keeping my ass safe from a solid stone wall.
@PooltoyWolf Wow, that’s meta!
@ircon96 Right? Haha
@ircon96 @PooltoyWolf Isn’t it late to be sitting on stone walls? Are you watching for trains?
@ircon96 @Kyeh I’m in the hotel lobby at a furry convention, oddly enough, themed around trains!
@ircon96 @PooltoyWolf Oh, okay!
@ircon96 @Kyeh Keeping my eyes on this big boy. People have been posing with him all weekend!
@ircon96 @PooltoyWolf
Fun! Is that Fenris?
@ircon96 @Kyeh @PooltoyWolf
Yeah - the stone age is long gone.
@ircon96 @Kyeh @PooltoyWolf
Wow. It’s like a custom made ‘con’ just up your alley!
Enjoy
@PooltoyWolf Inflatable seat, inflatable dog…should I dare to ask?
@ircon96 @Kyeh That’s Vulcan the Houndoom! (Houndoom is a Pokémon)
@iggy71
@chienfou @ircon96 @Kyeh I was not about to miss this one!!
Is this real life right now?
