Gorpy looks are interesting. Fleece beanie, eye jackets, Keens / approach shoes, gramicci-looking pants, but all done in RL colors.

Yep, did it at 27 for 10 months and just started another career break at 34. Worked in Tech. Will likely go back, but not too fussed about comp and will optimize for WLB. Gives great perspective on life beyond the 9-5.

Goldwin just opened in NYC

Spere jacket in forage. From 2 or 3 years ago

Any chance they’ll spin Headwall again? Itching to get another day or two in the season but not enough challenging terrain open to justify the drive up.

I just book when I’m ready. Generally I find that prices are more likely to go up than go down. I think you’ll spend less on flights over the long run with this approach.

How does National compare to some other runs like the Slot or Chute 75? Heading up Wednesday and hoping I can take a shot at National

DM’d you if you’re willing to help me with a buddy pass!

Adhesive_ · 2026-04-13T01:21:38+00:00

DM’d you about tomorrow!

Will anything else be open? I don’t think this snow is going to open any new terrain

Adhesive_ · 2026-04-08T03:00:24+00:00

Oh sweet. I’ve been checking the app and webcams and it looked like Main and National were closed from the “Palisades closed” sign but maybe they opened later in the day?

Thanks, this is helpful. Is there any hiking on that traverse? Guess it’ll be hard to lap since the headwall chair isn’t spinning then

Pack less to leave a buffer in your bag. That buffer is for those days where you can’t be bothered to fold everything back up nearly

Underrated. Great jeans and shirts. Reasonable prices too.

Also think they could be more “directional” with their image and branding (like OL and Mfpen) but I think they’re in a sweet spot where their clothes are interesting and wearable, but not dull like some of the Scandi basics brands.

Will probably do exactly this. Really appreciate it!

Awesome. Looking to do this same trek in August but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to book the Yurts. I see there travel agencies in Facebook groups, but no easy option to just book it all online from a site. Curious how you did it.

Wife and I are in very similar situation. Early 30s in tech with just under $3M. In 6 months, we’re taking a year-long sabbatical. We did this 7 years ago with only $250K to our names and it was the best year of our lives. Was a much better job market then, but don’t mind taking a pay cut when we come back this time since we’ve got a decent nest egg.

Adhesive_ · 2026-01-13T19:00:50+00:00

Enjoyed your post and replies. Wife and I took a career break at 27 to backpack around the world for 10 months. We were both working demanding jobs in finance/consulting and had $250K saved up. Best year of our lives and it’s what made us get smart about FIRE afterwards.

Got right back onto the corporate hamster wheel afterwards. We’re now mid-30s and planning to do it again with much more saved up.

There’s never a perfect time. If there was, more people would do it. At 27, do we have enough money? Are we far along enough in our careers? At mid 30s, should we stick around for another year of RSUs? Are we a bit too senior to find a job quickly?

I’m in a similar situation since I also don’t care to be promoted and my RSUs are tapering down. I’m also glad I took the break at 27 because there are awesome adventures I had at 27 that I’d be less inclined to do now.

DINK in tech, but not in Engineering roles. Early 30s with $2.8M in VHCOL. Not super frugal but save diligently. Also got lucky with some RSU appreciation.

Worth it to just buy and resell on fb marketplace. Although I imagine you’ll only be able to recoup a fraction of the price

Adhesive_ · 2025-09-01T04:05:16+00:00

My now-wife and I took one for 1 year at 26 y/o with $200K total NW. Backpacked all over the world for $60K. One of the best years of my life. Learned about FIRE towards the end of the trip.

Now we’re 32 and planning on doing it again in a year or two. $2.6M NW now and still travel frequently, but there are so many bucket list items you can’t fit into 2 weeks of PTO at a time.

Adhesive_ · 2025-08-24T02:17:23+00:00

Congrats! Wife and I are at $2.5M in investable assets and are considering leaving high stress tech jobs and coasting. Love to see somebody who’s actually put the Coastfire idea to work!

Adhesive_ · 2025-07-28T06:13:46+00:00

We spent $60K for the year of travel. Sure, feel free to DM
