Hello all,

I am starting to take bikepacking more seriously. i.e going on multiple 3day+ solo trips and have found that my (dumb) smartphone (iphone 8) is just no cutting it.... It cant handle a single drop of water and battery last like 35 seconds. That being said i'm in the market for a cycle computer. I am planning on doing Altravesur solo... its approx 30days in the spanish mountains, so need something tough, rugged, long battery life (ideally rechargeable although battery is fine.... just wasteful), with good basemaps (im a GIS nerd, so it needs to not just be a line im following). I do not care about performance metrics, although seeing speed and distance and climbs is nice, but not a deal beraker.

Anyone know of any fairly priced computers that do the job? The internet algorithim pointed me to the Garmin Etrex 32x? is that bikepacking approved?

Hello everybody!

I am wanting to the to the Altravesur, but not sure which bike will be best for the job. Choices are a Cotic hardtail (solaris max) or a locally made steel gravel bike. I think they would both fare well and is simply a preference of having a more comfortable ride (hardtail) or a more fast/challening ride (steel gravel bike).. fast on the flats and challenging on the techy singletrack.

So my question is the following... Has anyone done it recently and thought... holy shit i should\ve brought my hardtail bike or vise versa?

thanks in advance

Hey folks,

I found a near mint secondhand fuji jari 1.1 2021 (aluminum frame carbon fork) upgraded to carbon wheels and from 2x11 to a 1x11 (40t) grx for 1650 in my local area. I am planning to do some more long haul bikepacking, potentially a hybrid set up with paniers in the back, but not sure if the jari can handle heavier loads. Ive heard it fairs well with lightweight pack set ups but wondering what happens if I bring more than 10-12 kg of gear. Anyone got any knowledge on the matter?

I recently made a post about the use of Enstilar and most people seemed to back it. I have now been applying it for two weeks and have seen crazy good results. My dermo says to now apply every other day for a couple weeks, and to not go cold turkey with it. BUT, im going on holiday this evening and dont want to ship my bag cause its just a backpack but need to take my 278ml Enstilar with me. Has anyone tried to put Enstilar foam in a smaller container to travel with? does it hold? can I do this? HELP! flight leaves in 5 hrs!

Much love friends

Hello Friends!

Has anyone here used Enstillar Foam? I just got it prescribed and was curious as to what this community thinks. Not a massive fan of topical steroids but this flare up is quite pesky.

I am doing some self-lead learning on GEE, on this episode I am trying to do some Sent-1 change detection for a recent landslide in Peru. (I'm still a beginner). This is my first go at SAR, and i'm not having a fun time... but i'm stubborn and want to finish. I am having trouble with the filtering. I would like to have a before and after image, and I would like both to be filtered for only the VV and VH polarization. I have used some code online, but obviously it came up with a million red flags.

I am receiving an error at var before 2 - error: "cannot read property of 'listContains' of undefined". I had a look in the docs and i don't really understand what .listContains is doing.

​

Any tips or suggestions for how to effectively filter for polarization would be greatly appreciated

much appreciate

Hey,

Im relatively new to EO and am working on a Hyperspectral atmospheric correction project and am undecided on whether i should use ENVI or ERDAS. I am more familiar with ERDAS' SAW as have had some learning experience with it. Was wondering if anyone with relevant experience could briefly highlight the pros and cons of each for me?

much appreciate
