mbeeezyFollow up - I read through a bunch of these and think I will be trying out the Gregory Octal for my next pack. It weighs a bit more than I wanted, but the "little things" really make up for it - perfectly positioned pocket for water bottle access (I'm not a fan of hydration reservoirs), sunglasses clip, removable lid, rain cover, and a VERY reasonable price point.

mbeeezyDo you know the calories per kilogram or ounce of your dog food? My regular kibble (Orijen) is 3940cal/kg which ends up being 111.7 calories per ounce. I sometimes bring Tucker's Carnibars for my dogs when backpacking to lower the weight. They are 2.85oz/80g and 500 calories, so about 175 calories/ounce. Those might help reduce your pack weight when bringing the pup :-) Another thing I like about the Carnibars is they take up very little room compared to kibble or freeze dried dog food. Freeze dried dog food has a great cal/oz ratio, but takes up way too much room in my backpack :-)

CardamomteaI honestly never thought about weighing my dog's food. Not sure why, because I weigh every single other thing I take with me, but that just never crossed my mind. I looked it up and the dry food she eats is around 113 cal/oz., so I'll definitely be looking into some higher calorie options for the next trip. The bars sound like a legit option, and the ingredient list was solid. Thanks for the tip! A little embarrassed that I've weighed a roll of doggie waste bags, but never weighed the food. Ha!

mbeeezyI haven't weighed my doggie waste bag & containment kit... I should do that, thanks for the reminder! :-)

Want: 27 Inch 1440p 144hz+ Monitor w/ USB-C PD + KVM
With many of us working from home and gaming in the same space, I've grown to love my setup that allows me to switch between my work machine and gaming PC on the same display, keyboard, and mouse with the Viewsonic VP2771. The only problem is -- that display is only 60hz. So, I'm in the market for a new work + gaming monitor with this criteria below and found them pretty difficult to find: Features Wanted 27 Inches 1440p resolution for QHD gaming 144hz+ refresh rate w/ FreeSync or G-SYNC USB-C PD input for use with notebooks (specifically MacBooks) DP + HDMI ports for other sources 2+ USB ports for peripherals + USB-B output to PC Built-in KVM switch between USB-C and USB-B VESA mountable There's exactly 1 solid and affordable option: the Gigabyte M27Q, but I'm not impressed with the overall quality in reviews. The Eve Spectrum is on its way this spring it looks like, going above and beyond these features with a 240hz option and many of the same features, coming out of a...

Spyderco dragonfly 2 Drop exclusive?
I would LOVE to have a Spyderco dragonfly 2 Drop exclusive on one of the most iconic model in Spyderco. Maybe like the super gold steel that drop did with delica. The color on the scale can be the drop color. That will be awesome! Picture is me dragonfly collections in various color and steels

Gerlach Watches
Hey everyone I hope your week is going well. I was wondering if anyone in the community has experience with Gerlach watches? I would love to see a few of their line show here on Drop some day. I know they wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but they are unique in that I don't believe I have seen any Polish made watches here before. Well, I don't know that I have seen Polish watches anywhere LOL! thoughts? http://gerlach.org.pl/

Completely surprised by the lack of blade diversity here on Drop...
I’ve been a collector of Blades since before my teens, and a retailer coming up on 15… or maybe 20 years. Drop has really been kind of an interesting experience for me, because I do occasionally get to see some unusual tech and sometimes EDC items that otherwise I might not have been aware of. And maybe it’s because I have a deep love of cutlery and bladed weapons, but I find myself trolling through the site looking at it what’s available; and it’s just it’s pretty much the same. And the bladed community here is just always confused me.. every single knife is about the same, they’re almost all drop points and although the handle materials change and brands change.. it’s really just the same knife over and over and over again... occasionally you’ll see a tanto or a slight variant; but rarely… and almost never a serrated blade. And I’m just deeply amazed at this diversion of serrated blades. And I’m just surprised there isn’t more of a request for diversity here.... and I...

Can we get Sony E-Mount or other mirrorless camera options please..
Would be nice to see some Sony E mount full frame cameras on here. I currently shoot with a A99 and they killed the lense path for better or more option lenses and now is all E-Mount. 🤔

There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

Features: HIP BELT POCKETS (looking at you Osprey, with those ultralight packs without hip pockets), side pockets made from a durable material that are easy to access while hiking, a front stuff pocket that is preferably mesh to speed up drying while hiking, one big compartment (big enough for most bear canisters) with a hydration sleeve, plenty of lashing options, a pocket on the shoulder strap, and load lifters (don't judge me.) Any more than that and it gets too complicated.
Brands: My first pack was the REI Flash 58, and while the pack is certainly durable, it was completely over-featured. The pack I use now, and have been using for a few years, is the Six Moon Designs Fusion 65 (not the model that is currently out, mine weighs 39 oz.) It is almost perfect, but it would be so much better if it had a women's specific fit - the shoulder straps need to come in just a notch, but I will say that once I figured out how to dial in the load lifting straps, it really improved the way it carries. It's big enough for winter backpacking, but has a roll-top lid and compression straps so can easily be compressed down for summer trips - it doesn't have a mesh front pocket, but the material is a very stretchy black that dries quickly. I've comfortably carried about 40 lbs. in it (why is dog food so heavy), and this thing can take a beating. I tend to prefer cottage manufacturers over big name brands for backpacks, but they don't really cater to women just yet (hoping that changes now that more women are making their love for the outdoors known.) For my next pack, I'm torn between going the super ultralight route with Zpacks or going with the GG Mariposa. But I'm not sold on either, and keep hoping that a company is going to release something I just cannot pass up. WILL MASSDROP BE THE ONE?! (Jk, but I do like a lot of the collaborations, so fingers crossed.)
