I always wear boots, because I walk the dog daily. However, I can recommend Altberg Tabbing Boots - it's a lightweight and breathable boot, that's sort of a cross between boots and running shoes.

I also have owned and worn extensively Peacekeeper P1 Aqua, and Sneekers - they're good, but heavier duty waterproof boots. Lovely if you're tramping around in very soggy conditions, but overkill for playing PoGo.

I would also recommend you consider Liner Socks - these are thin, go under your 'normal' socks, but will significantly improve your comfort in all weather - in the cold, your feet will be a bit warmer and dryer, because there's a bit more insulation, and 'damp' is carried away. In the warm, your feet will be cooler and dryer, because the moisture won't sit next to your skin.



To quote:

> “The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

> Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

> But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

> This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”

Like most have suggested Anker is king of power banks, but I've honestly had no issues with my EasyAcc power banks which have been great for the price (I bought them at cheaper than the current Amazon listings). Link to those if you're still interested: 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh

tbh, the pair I have was literally a giveaway from Comcast at a parade last year. They're likely too thin to get me through the winter, but they're great for mid 30*F weather here in MA right now. They're not waterproof.

The pair I have is red, but these from Amazon are a close approximation:

The really important thing to make sure you have is sun-protective clothing and sun block! I have this ugly-fabulous hat with a UPF 50+ (https://amzn.com/B003U2OEGG) and I'm sure some of the men's styles would do just as well. Basic sunglasses, slather on the sunscreen, and go go go!

I bought a black bracelet for my gotcha off of amazon. It's unobtrusive, and no more annoying than wearing a fitbit. If you want to protect it better, they do sell little keychain things that might make it a bit more bulky and easier to find in your pocket. I haven't tried one, though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XD89ZRR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aX0Vzb5M7V78N

The only one I found on Amazon was Lynktec and it has been good so far.

Glider Gloves ... I've used for a week now and they are really good so far. I can't comment on how long they will last though.

In the short term for next weekend, get more batteries and charge it up (while off) on a break to keep it from going to zero or if it hits there. Anker makes really nice large batteries.

I deal with phone heating issues using ice packs. I carry around an insulated lunch bag with two ice packs and a small cloth when I go raiding.

Depending on what your phone specifications are, careful using this method. I have a Sony Xperia Z3+ with an IP68 rating. So far, my phone hasn't died yet from doing this.

Here is the ice pack I got from my local grocery store (I found it on Amazon too):

Hello, yes, I am! Have you ordered my book yet?

I've been using this EasyAcc power bank since launch and it's held up fairly nicely.

If you are using a battery bank grab something like this and tape it to the back of the phone.

If you’re even close to half-serious, only fancier, more expensive models have a barometric altimeter. Plenty get the data just fine using GPS.

For reference, neither the Amazon’s Choice $80 Garmin ETrex 10 nor its $150 upgraded 20x model have barometers. To get one, you have to get the even more premium 30x model, which MSRPs for $300.

It's like the "catch a Ditto" quest. If you have one, no Dittos spawn. If you delete it, it is guaranteed to spawn up to 3 Ditto in your immediate vicinity in the next 4 hour period.

There's a scientific reason for this, it's written somewhere in this book.

Can't we send dronpes a coffee?
this kind of coffee:

Conductive gloves?

With the new prestiging rates, I'm thinking I might need these to make it through those -40°C evenings pumping a gym to level 10.

I got the Pokemon Encyclopaedia (2016) earlier but haven't had time to read it yet, how does this compare to that if you've read both? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pok%C3%A9mon-Encyclopedia-Official/dp/1408349957/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HX9NCR51AYK4BQJYMFGC

I had a terrible time with my Gotcha popping out of its wristband. It fit fairly well, but sometimes I'd be taking off a backpack or something and the strap would pop it out. I lost 3 Gotcha's this way and when I bought my 4th, I decided that the wristband was a bad idea. So I got one of these keychain holders and have been very happy with it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XD89ZRR/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_Ha01zb2RKM4TP

Because it's in my pocket, I don't have to worry about it popping out as much, and even if it does it'll still be in my pocket. It's also more discreet - even with a black wristband I had so many people ask me if it was some sort of Fitbit knockoff.
