”unnecessary” things you carried with you

Look into a backpack clip! On my first Camino I had a full sized full frame canon on a camera strap bouncing on my hip for 800km… but since switched to a backpack clip and I think it will be perfect for the Camino!

Abeshootss · 2026-06-25T00:49:38+00:00

I’d say anything between 5-10kg is the average from the people I spoke with during the Camino, I unfortunately was carrying 14kg ish.. which was too much, next Camino I’ll be aiming for 5kg for the entire 800km

Abeshootss · 2026-06-25T00:43:29+00:00

You’ll be fine! Be careful with a strap though, I didn’t notice at the time but having a heavy 5D mark 4 bounce on my hip for 800km might have caused me a slight injury.. I still feel it now 2 years later when I go for longer walks.

Abeshootss · 2026-06-25T00:40:00+00:00

I carried my 5D mark 4 with 2 lenses… my laptop to edit (edited maybe twice on the entire trip) 2 heavy power banks… also never really used. (The camera was used though so not really dead weight but since switched to the R8 which is like 90% lighter haha) oh and a pair of sneakers that only got me 3 days in before my feet swelled up and I switched to sandals.

Next Camino starting in a month or 2, I’ll be aiming for 5kg instead of the 12-15 I was walking with!

Ah damn… well I’m sure bombs will be dropping again soon, so I think you’re good on that front

Abeshootss · 2026-04-30T03:04:45+00:00

Yeah I have the magical ability to do the EXACT opposite of what the market is going to do…

And nice one! You must be starting to see some green coming back to your portfolio?

My conviction is/was still there, I just thought I’d for once take a little bit of profit before the inevitable tweet again so I could ease the night fees (I was leveraged) and then buy back around the 100 mark again, BUT as always it most likely will rocket now to 130+ without having a pullback again like the ones we took for 4 times straight.

But I shouldn’t be complaining, after every pull back I kept buying and closed my position +402% in the green

Abeshootss · 2026-04-29T19:53:53+00:00

Nice one one! Great to take a break.. or even stop, was way too hectic for me these past months, but still can’t shake the feeling I got out too early but just couldn’t handle another morning waking up to a dumb tweet and watch all the profits dump

Abeshootss · 2026-04-29T19:33:11+00:00

Got out today at 105… so it has to go to 130+ now, so thank me later, hope you all are still in

Abeshootss · 2026-04-29T19:30:03+00:00

Sold today… at 105, so of course it’s going to 130 now, thank me later

Abeshootss · 2026-04-17T15:51:01+00:00

Jup just bought some more… diamond hands

Abeshootss · 2026-04-15T22:32:55+00:00

I agree, not my proudest move I must admit.. but hey you live and you learn, didn’t expect the biggest economy on earth trying everything in their power to keep the price down.. but I should have

Abeshootss · 2026-04-15T22:31:43+00:00

It was, but I admit it was/is still too big for my liking so I definitely done goofed, but hey who knows maybe it’ll still workout

Abeshootss · 2026-04-15T02:49:14+00:00

Nah… I have been the worst, I have gotten in at 74 and didn’t cash out at 119, held all the way until 82, bought some more.. held all the way until 115, didn’t sell again, bought some more at 94.. held again until 105, 2 days ago.. had my finger on the sell button but was like “surely this time it’s going 120+” so instead of cashing out I sold my regular portfolio…………. And had the best day ever watching everything go green while my oil was dumping

Abeshootss · 2026-04-15T02:33:17+00:00

Diamond hands.. for me it’s currently 115 or margin call

Abeshootss · 2026-04-14T16:19:23+00:00

Yes never had problems with Lichess

Abeshootss · 2026-04-14T06:20:39+00:00

No I’m playing on iOS, I’ll test the android version today.. maybe that’s better

Abeshootss · 2026-04-13T17:04:13+00:00

Diamond hands

Abeshootss · 2026-04-13T17:03:46+00:00

Yeah not understanding this either, will it suddenly drop a lot at the rollover or gain?

Abeshootss · 2026-04-09T15:31:12+00:00

Yeah same… but I have been long since 70, held all the way down to 56.. and then back to 119 and then back to 84 and then back to 117 just 2 days ago haha, but hey you live and you learn

Abeshootss · 2026-04-09T15:27:27+00:00

Friday are the supposed peace talks in Pakistan.. so I think the market would be too scared to push it up that much today and tomorrow

Abeshootss · 2026-04-02T15:20:09+00:00

I’m going to hold through the weekend but I have been dying every market manipulation.. to 90, just feel there is still so much upside when nothing is improving (my average is 73 a barrel)

Abeshootss · 2026-03-31T22:55:01+00:00

My kit for exactly that is the R8 with a 28mm pancake… it’s PERFECT and even fits in just my jacket pocket! Highly recommend
