PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Advice for my language-challenged partner.In a pinch, especially for when greater accuracy than “grocery store ability” matters, Google translate can be your friend. Use the microphone to speak into it, have it translate and then “speak” it back out.

PPerambulating Griffin replied to the thread Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it?.Before you invest, take this caution. I thought as you do, and now I use my ultralight for nothing more than light use around town on errands. Worst investment of my sporting life.
