LoL, I don't think I am fast enough to sponsor. I'm just the guy that likes to go out and get it done. They do have some good shoes but they just need to be a little tougher. I know there are a lot of people who use Altras for through hiking on the PCT. I would be interested to know how many miles those people are getting out of their shoes.

I think you're right. I think it just hasn't developed it's elytra yet.

Np glad to help!​@@davidhalbleib5040

It's the Triops they look similar but are definitely different. It is in a freshwater lake. 👍

That would be a cool video but we let them all go in the flower garden. 🌞

I don't think so, it measures only about 7" wide by about 15" tall. So, I think the width would be a little too narrow for your Mac book. 📏

@@davidhalbleib5040 thanks mate. The octane 18 fits it

@@arsenalmanic5540 No problem. Anytime. 👍

Those guys are super impressive little predators.

Thank you we love it out here.

Thank you. We love it out here.

Wow! $50 is an awesome deal!

Yes, those guys are impressive for sure. 👍

It hasn't leaked yet. I put a little coconut oil or food grade silicone on the o-ring around the lid and it seals up pretty well.

They are impressive spiders for sure and seem to be wired a little differently as far as their intelligence. I didn't know that they actively hunt wasps. That is cool.

@@davidhalbleib5040 they actively hunt other spiders, including each other, using not only terrifying speed and strength, but frightening intelligence as well, to do so. The portia jumping spider takes out much larger orb weavers on their own webs. Jumping spiders are a different breed altogether. PS: there are some species that mimics various ant movements and pheromones, and lives among various kinds of ant colonies, stealing larvae, living dangerously ...

Awesome. I always like seeing the jumping spiders they just seem like they have more personality than other spiders.

I totally agree! And they have pretty much 360 degree vision with their two main large eyes, and then two smaller front eyes, and two more (each one on either side) and then two more on the back of their head. "Yes, little one, mama does have eyes on the back of her head. lol. No sneaking up on this jumper! I have watched one Daring/Bold jumper (Phidippus audax) grab a praying mantis and the mantis flew away with the audax not willing to let go of it's lunch! I'm sure when the venom took effect the mantis crashed to the ground and the jumper dined!

I will say the price which includes a 2L Crux reservoir is a great deal. The reservoir performed well on my 1st trail walk.

If they were the size of a labrador, the human race ceases to exist lol jump down on u from the ceiling when u are sleeping in ur bed , what an absolute nightmare scenario.

I dunno, elephants have thick hide

@ If they can pierce beetle armour at that size, then their fangs would sure pierce elephant. Besides, Elephant hide is thinner than Hippo and jumpers the size of car would have largest fangs of anything on Earth. Elephant skin also gets pierced by humans who harass the tamed ones.

It comes with a 2 liter bladder so you don't need water bottles in the front. Those small pockets are where I stash energy snacks keys and my phone. It works well for me. I would really only change where the bladder hose comes out behind the neck and would have it over the shoulder instead. There's a lot of packs/vests out there. Everyone likes something different. Good luck & happy running.

They also kill spiders in their own web. Even black widows are not safe in their web from jumping spiders.

They are like a big cat with venom. They wait for the right time to ambush a predator & with quick speed they pounce. By the time the prey reacts & try to figure out where or what hit him, the jumping spider fangs are already inside them pumping venom.
