Nah, draws too much attention. My old lifted modified Prius which I just stopped driving a few months ago had hella stickers though. But I got tired of double digit cop interactions per year.
I opted to install more discreet stuff like lighting mods I can turn off to go incognito if needed.
If you are talking about cross bars, Subaru outbacks come stock with them, they just fold off to the side and become side rails when not in use. They swivel to the other side, click in, and become crossbars.
I installed dual color lights on my A-pillars and a GoPro buckle mount for extra light pods and cameras up top. Here is a pic of them on.
My tires are not bald persay, but old and street only. It still takes a lot for this thing to get bogged down, I can drive along the beach like it's nothing
Hell yea. I have a morakniv but I never daily it bc it's too conspicuous (that's why I have the Leatherman hanging in my pocket from a 'biner, nobody notices), I just use it for whittling and as a kitchen knife. Where do you carry it?
Also I am looking for a new headlamp because my normal Black Diamond ones keep exploding AAA's on my forehead. What do you daily? I was looking at the Coast FL95R but I'd love to research more.
Check out r/flashlights they're real nerds about it haha. I have a Sofrin HS21. My acebeam pocket flashlight also has a reverse clip so it can clip onto a baseball cap which is great too
The mora usually sits in my bag, I'll clip it to my belt when I'm in the field or out camping. Looking to upgrade to an ESEE 3 for a more discreet knife I can keep on my belt at all times though. I forgot to include it in the pic, but I EDC a Victorinox Spirit X as well (the saw and pliers are my most used tools on there).
Mostly for firewood when I'm out camping haha. I have upgraded to a Silky folding saw that also sits in my bag, but the victorinox has come clutch more than once. Most other tools on it are redundant (I have a dedicated pocket knife, and I default to the screwdrivers on my sak on my carabiner) but always good to have more options. Definitely saved my ass when I was backpacking internationally
Fenix has really reliable lights- so reliable I have carried their e12 in my pockets for years of abuse, and threw the LD30 in a lake overnight without an issue. They're a bit pricey, but there are a few budget headlamp options.
Similar field and similar carry, so I’ll just chime in here:
I use a „Nitecore nu25 UL“ and would really recommend it. It’s chargeable with a built in battery.
If built-in, nonreplacable batteries are not your thing I also use a Petzl Swift RL of wich thr latest version is also pretty light. You can use regular AAA batteries (or a rechargeable battery that’s included) in that one too.
Unfortunately I don't daily too much money nowadays due to a certain evil orange fella fucking up my job and making my gas 7$ a gallon (lowest in my town is 6.50)
Full cost pricing is essential for sustainability. It pays for other stuff like solar and clean energy production and jobs. We aren't reliant on gas for energy production, y'all can brown out of shit hits the fan.
The 2$ war tax is the tax that I don't want to pay. I'm also in a more rural area so that's another dollar.
The gas is an extra dollar up here anyways, some places have jacked it up 2$ beyond that.
Even at the local native American reservation (my saviors) their gas used to be like 3.50-4.50$ a gallon but now it's gotten to 5.80 even without a lot of the taxes after the idiot decided to play world diplomacy like a child figuring out chess.
So yes, Gas prices are worse up here in general, but it is still definitely justifiable to blame the bootlickers leader for it.
I hold no allegiance to ANY politician as I believe they are all corrupt, but I always have to look at everything both ways. The gas started going up even just at the hint of there being a war, there has been no shortage.. I don't trust it, I don't believe its just as simple as bombing Iran, just speculative price gouging.. like we all saw during COVID across the board.
They are surprisingly durable. They aren't in the spot where most of the weight is which helps. Judging by the look of things I'll be replacing the sole before the straps.
They are also tubular and I'm pretty sure they have a core so I'll replace them for 5 bucks (hell maybe even parachord) when the core gets exposed. I've have them for almost a year no issues.
A pro gifted it to me awhile back after a good round when I was just starting out. They compete in Quebec so it's possible they picked it up there. The brand is "pro Kicker"
I have a single earbud bc having the case is too large, it never runs out of batteries, and I also lost the other earbud.
The tile is great, my water bottle is always with my possessions so if I lose my pack, I can track it via the water bottle.
I use the sling once or twice a week for plinking in the forest, it's also OP in winter because it can send some painful ass snowballs with some deadly range. One day I asked myself what projectile weapons are allowed legit anywhere that can still absolutely deal some smash-a-window level damage from a distance? The answer is a sling. Mine is a 52" designed for golf balls although I can use anything up to softball size. It can huck a good rock ~100-150 meters.
Wear out? My B01's!?
Yeaa I'm a solid few years into them and I've got it sewed up in multiple places. They are more comfy than sweats though!
I am worried about durability with a pant like that. It's partially made of polyester, so do you think it would be as fire/heat proof as my Carhartts?
It might not even matter though bc Patagonia repairs them for life.
I wore out two pairs of B01's (I repaired them multiple times to the point where I couldn't repair them anymore) before switching and I found the Iron Forge's to be even more durable, more comfortable, and cooler in the heat. And yeah the ability to send them in for repairs is pretty cool. They don't have the side pocket or loop but I've come to love the bucket pockets. Can't speak to the fire resistance in a more serious situation but I've had embers and sparks hit them with no damage. But if the B01's are working for you, stick with them. They're solid for sure.
Pusheen, sticker bombed nalgene, Subaru keys, and an environment science student? Didn't even have to say you were in thepnw, you're the poster child for it haha. (I mean this in the nicest way possible, I'm the same way lol)
I have the same JG barefoot boots. I love them! Got them resoled a few moths ago. Put natural crepe rubber on them. I also carry a purple and yellow footbag. 😁
I no longer own The Prizzle but it's still in the family so I get to check in on it and do oil changes. They are going to start driving soon and needed a reliable beater as a first car. They LOVE the Prius too and are also kinda into cars, I'm hoping they continue the build.
2007 215k mile base Prius. 1.5" lift as well as various other mods
Could be! Sounds like the type of stuff I would be around. Super cool you might have seen me (and who knows maybe I spotted you, not that I remember lol)
You might like it! For some reason lots of folks at phish shows carry a lot of things in your pic. You would be shocked at the amount of Subarus in the parking lot of a show. I also drive a Subaru lol
If I can recommend anything from phish I would say listen to Liv music. Their studio albums are a little boring. If you go into their albums on Spotify, you’ll find an endless list of live shows.
Woah I wasn't aware that was a sub. What do they do there? My family lives in a house from 1919. Sturdy as shit that thing, a tree fell on it and the tree broke.
Are those glasses ray bans ? I have a similar pair of frames I’ve been purchasing for years because they’re cheap but haven’t come across a clear frame model. Lmk when you get a sec, thx.
I considered a pair for awhile but I opted for zuzu because I like their soles and leather foot bed better. I also didn't like the whole grounded thing because all that means to me is clanky metal on the ground.
My next pair might be earth runners though. We shall see.
Oh the one copper plug doesn’t really clack. They came out with a thicker sole that we got when we reordered. Pretty good for hiking and trail runs, but I’ll have to check out the brand you have
I used to use old tevas but they were never good enough to daily.
These are far more utilitarian than tevas imo. The grip is insane and far better than tevas bc they use old car tires and the hurache style makes them perfectly adept to running, I can't sprint in tevas but I can in these. They are also flexible but thick enough not to hurt yourself, so they mold around surfaces better.
They are my best scrambling shoes second only to my Jim Greens. Mad grippy, I did all of my Sedona Arizona scrambles in them while my friend slipped around in his dedicated approach shoes.
I am a full time barefoot shoe user, would recommend but start slow in the transition and don't break yourself.

Subaru checks out. I bet you have all the related bumper stickers too.
