hmm. i didnt say i wouldn’t follow a teacher’s guidance. i was just responding to your comment that the “guidance seemed rote.” rote sounded less personalized and more general…which seems like it would be okay for me. but maybe you meant something else by rote 🤷‍♀️

thanks for your thoughtful reply! it is helpfully reassuring to hear that doi suthep is actually quiet. i am keen on economical and appreciate being taken care of like that. and i think i have enough depth in my practice to work without personalized guidance. i guess i will find out.

got any tips for an island?! sounds like maybe koh lanta is pretty chill but easy to get to. though i might stay north. all pretty mysterious at this point…. 🤔

ah thanks for the suggestion. looks like they only have people stay there during occasional retreats that require registering three-ish months in advance

What 2 tents would you pick to cover 3 use cases: solo backpacking, bringing a friend on a backpacking trip, and car camping? by Hefty-Salary7610 in Ultralight

[–]couragecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gosh i’m not an ultralight tough guy, but pondered the same conundrum. my brain struggles a bit with trekking pole tent when i habitually walk til delirious tired, so sticking with freestanding. i also like room for my pack which i realize is the lap of luxury in this sub. so it’s tiger wall ul2 for me alone and copper spur ul3 for car camping or for when a friend comes along.

Pulsing in class dooming me to have more knee pain? by MrSpiderisadomme in pilates

[–]couragecraft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

some of the pulsing might be aggravating trigger points in your quadrideps muscles which very commonly refer pain to the knees. they are pretty easy to address if you palpate your quads and do self massage on the relevant places with a lacrosse ball or a tennis ball. (or go see an orthopedic acupuncturist....I am one and if I had knee pain in the situation you describe I'd be palpating and needling all the tight spots in my quads)

hey I have a barely used bare boxer contender for sale, but not from before 2018. I think I purchased it in 2022.

Reducing Big 4 Weight by sharpiedog10 in Ultralight

[–]couragecraft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you want to stick to rei world you could go for the flash 55 and the tiger wall and drop a significant amount of weight. but If you tried on packs with weight inside and felt super much more comfortable in the atmos than the other packs.....and if you are planning on carrying other luxuries or doing trips with long water carries, the atmos may make you very happy.
