gedem 0 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Not keen on humidity myself but I do look after my gear.. too much $$ invested in it all. Worth a good clean up and making sure it is stored good. nothing worse than early season getting stuff out and getting a shock. Link to post Share on other sites

Currently our stuff is leaning against a wall, we're waiting on EQC stuff before we can empty the garage and set up a little table for servicing our gear and brackets for storing it.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's a trade off for us Minty. It is tectonically stable here in Perth - but FLAT as a pancake. If we had some Alps we might actually get some snow Link to post Share on other sites

masher of moguls 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Originally Posted By: Black Mountain I think that Hokkaido might be the only place that escapes the humidity. Most of Japan is considered a subtropical climate. Here in Shizuoka I think we have one of the worst summers and the humidity can be unbearable for people from colder climates (like myself). Luckily, I've lived here long enough that it doesn't bother me much anymore... You do actually get better at coping with it then? Or just put up with it. Wouldn't want to live somewhere with high humidity. Give me cooler or cold any day. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 dunno if getting used to it is the right phrase.....more you learn to live with it or tolerate it. For me it ain't so bad as I live near the beach and can cool off in the sea, wouldn't like to be stuck in a big city like Tokyo during summer Link to post Share on other sites
