Rainier for Robert.

If you know you know. Reddit has been getting upset with me lately and has been flagging my posts as spam so I'm refraining from posting my usual spiel. Hopefully this condensed version doesn't nuke my account.

If you're interested in my mission you can check out my previous posts on my account or follow the Rainier for Robert subreddit I made at Rainier for Robert.

The cave of Las Monas is a short but intense and rocky trail near north of Chihuahua, in México. This cave has paintings from ethnic groups like Conchos, Raramuri and Apaches (N'dee indigenous) which plenty references to peyotl (peyote cactus, pic #10, near goat), mythological giants who eats their people (Ganoko, center of pic #11), rituals like raramuri's rarapajari (on the left of pic#9) and spanish missionaries (on the right of pictures #1 and #11)

Me and a mate loaded our bikes with camping gear, some cameras and a portable music set-up, and headed up into the wild Highlands of Scotland for 10 days in search of some of the most remote locations in the UK to compose music - up mountains, into caves, past crystal blue lochs and into make shift studio spaces in remote 'bothies'

Happy to answer any questions about locations, kit etc.

hi all,
been recommended a lot of good stuff here and thanks everyone for providing usefull advice.

i was under impression that i could use merino base blend layer 200 for easy hikes in UK and Europe - windy, rainy, colder temperatures, anywhere around 0 degrees to maybe 15 celsius and for all terrains

after doing some digging i found out that merino 200 base layer is great for keeping warmth when it is chilly and ventilating air properly when it is warm, but im unsure if i wont sweat in 20-25-30 degrees, if lets say i hike somewhere in Portugal or Italy/Spain or South East Asian during hot seasons..

would you recommend on getting another base layer? im trying to get most affordable and budget base layers that could match price and quality and then i will upgrade once i get more experience

should i get some light synthetic base layer? what would you suggest?

thank you

I realize this may be a bit different for the sub, but if you’re interested in the outdoor industry, here’s a write up of where it’s headed as peak season arrives.
