They were discussing a recent outdoor experience that involved some nervousness and a reliance on microspikes, followed by a rather disjointed series of observations about Claude code testing, civil rights law, and some bizarre, unsettling media.

Officieel heten ze microspikes, maar stijgijzers klinkt natuurlijk veel stoerder.

We tend to avoid it when the summer crowds are here, but it is very peaceful and beautiful in the fall and winter. Wear microspikes in the winter!

Si il s'agit de ne pas glisser il existe des micro-crampons qu'on fixe par dessus les chaussures. Pas envie de faire de pub pour un en particulier mais en cherchant microspikes on trouve plein de choses, plus ou moins avancees

Snowy trails can challenge ordinary hiking shoes. Learn when hiking shoes may be suitable, what insulation and waterproofing matter, and when winter-specific footwear makes more sense.

Once you get off the beaten track, Los Padres feels remote and wild.
A few years ago, in early March, it got down to mid-20s (F) and snowed overnight. There was one section of the trail where I really should have had microspikes.
Didn't see a single person for about two days.

It's probably not easy to find microspikes there. Sometimes old socks over your shoes can help walking on ice.

If you want some interesting winter hiking check out the Finger Lakes Trail that goes through that area. There is an interactive map that is kept up to date. May need microspikes or snowshoes if ice and snow are around. Some hunting closures, but most are finished Jan 1. fingerlakestrail.org

A11. You can always backpack at the Grand Canyon in the winter. You may need microspikes at the top but as soon as you drop several 1000 feet in elevation it is plenty warm. #parkchat

Excellent! We use our microspikes more than any other gear for winter hikes. Are yours Kahtoola? We've had ours for about 15 years & they still work great in every way.

Not quite at the start of Sharp Edge yet, glad I brought the microspikes. 🥾❄️

I really wish that there was a method of retrieving lost items around the house. I’ve misplaced an expensive fountain pen and a pair of winter microspikes. All I remember is that I’d put them somewhere ‘safe’.🙄

November has to be the worst month for hiking. Less daylight, trail closures because of hunting season, unable to hike on weekdays after 5pm.. Sucks. On the other hand I'm looking forward to put on the microspikes and snowshoes and do some winter hiking. Just beed to hold on a bit more I guess..

-all in all it's been good so far. Will do another test tomarrow and seeing if having a more balanced number for bitrate helps with these microspikes of dropped frames, currently ran the past 2 streams at 4573kbs, next one will be at 4500 even

Good or bad idea?
The 2026 edition of Western States will allow for the first time runners to use trekking poles and traction devices such as microspikes. The change comes after the race board voted last weekend to update its long-standing rule prohibiting them.
