I bought some cheap bag. I'll probably regret it when I'm out there. On the flip side it is way warmer than my old sleeping bag, and I've used the old sleeping bag + sheets + big tent in cold weather and managed, so hopefully the mummy bag + sheets + small tent + next to campfire will suffice. If not I'll probably be on the local news next week.

Lately it's been getting down to 32ish at home, so I'll try it out beforehand. Curious to find out if their rating is comfortable or survival. I bet you'll be seriously cold in a 20F bag at 32F....or at least that is more normal. I use a 40F bag down to about 10F then I'm no longer really interested with the gear I have. That's what I'm figuring too. I tried it now at 45ish and it was warm, but 45 and 30 is a huge difference. They also have a liner that supposedly adds 10f, so I may add that before I head out.

I'm just leery since our last diesel had a relatively basic chip put on it a few months before we bought it. We took it off, and six months later two injectors went out. Could have just been a fluke, but I'm still leery about it.

The comment section on that REI article is ridiculous--dumb bitch.

Actually I'm looking for the cheapest one man tents I can find.

Ordered my new tent: http://www.backcountry.com/the-north-face-2-meter-dome-tent-8-person-4-season?CMP_SKU=TNF2660&MER=0406&CMP_ID=SH_APA001&mv_pc=r321&003=7163759&010=TNF2660&mr:trackingCode=96868CBC-44FD-DF11-887D-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA

Got my mummy bag in. Tried it inside and got hot real fast.

Seriously. Guess you don't want to spend the money on diesel injectors.

Good point, he can't. (2) 8ohm speakers run parallel = 4ohm load. Does that effect the way the speaker plays at all. Will a speaker have the same quality throughout its freq range if wired that way is the question Let's back up a second. These drivers you keep referring to as "8ohm speakers." Are these the horns your talking about, or midbass drivers? I was presuming horns since you haven't picked a definite set of horns, and therefore hadn't picked a midbass driver yet. If horns, then why would you wire two together, as that would create mono--unless you decided to use 2 per side, and 4 total--which makes no sense. If your taking about using multiple midbass drivers than I retract my previous statement about not being able to do it. My other point was: if your using your headunit for active processing then it doesn't matter what ohm load anything is, the crossover points will not be effected. You know if you simply answered my question instead of asking more questions or trying to figure out what I'm doing this would all be much simpler. What if I want to run my front stage off of a 2 channel amp? Then wouldnt it make sense to run a 8ohm tweeter and a 8ohm mid in parallel at a 4ohm load with the appropriate crossovers in place to do so? And if you did that would the tweeter still play at the same quality as it would if it was wired separately at 8ohms? No it would make sense to buy a four channel amp, and use one channel per driver. Left horn = 1, right horn = 2, left mid = 3, right mid = 4. Putting the left horn + left mid on one channel, and using inline crossovers to separate the signal is a bad idea. You wouldn't be able to adjust the power or gain between the horns and mids, and the impedance change would mess with the crossover design. It literally makes no sense at all to attempt the latter. Its was a real simple question that cant get answered because you are trying to hard too figure out how or what I am doing. It really is a yes or no question. Does a 8ohm speaker play the same wired to 4 ohms as it does at 8ohms? Forget the crossover point, the power, etc. You can't wire one 8ohm speaker to 4ohms, but if you could with magic than it would have the same frequency response. If you wired one 8ohm speaker with another 8ohm load to achieve 4ohms, and the speaker was relying on an inline crossover network that was designed for 8ohms, than the speaker would have a different frequency response due to a change in crossover points. Your like a whiny kid asking if cars run on diesel, but don't want to hear anything regarding a gasoline engine or diesel engine.

My gerber was confiscated at the airport.

So I got this stupid idea to go backpacking in the mountains later this month. Ordered a 20F mummy bag, and contemplating ordering a one person tent also.

Dude don't diss the shake weights.

I read that as cats ship out. In that case, yes I've ordered from Intelligentsia. Good stuff. If you really meant shit, I've never even heard of it. I've heard of "fancy" coffee beans that are picked out of jungle cat-shit as they claim the cats eat the best beans. I'm sure it's just some dumb fad.

That does look good.

Aren't you using your head-unit for processing, not an on-board/inline crossover?

I'll further extend my showings of lack of knowledge, and ask if you've ever had those beans from the cats that shit them out. I was literally LOL typing that.

Just don't drink coffee, and you'd of saved.... Just fucking with you. I understand the eventual savings, and that does make sense, but from the git-go I was under the impression that the grinders just had a huge profit margin in a niche market so to speak.

I have angered the coffee gods, and now coffee knowledge shall spread the lands!

What is asinine or idiotic is spending $2+ a day at the local coffee shop. I don't disagree with that.
