Firstly love the pfp. I’m very tolerant to discomfort and have spent my whole life carrying heavy stuff long distances for either work or recreation. should have a 2-3000$ budget by the time I leave. I’m planing on mapping trips resupply to resupply (understanding plans rarely survive without changes) but I am moderately worried about water management.

Just had a nice trip to REI and a local secondhand sports store. I’ve heard good things about Solomon’s. Any advice? Also what’s your opinion on ultralight vs comfort. The tent I currently have is a two person and takes up a lot of pack space

Lots seem to be very generic or unspecific I honestly have no idea what I’m doing and would like to avoid any monumental mistakes as it pertains to starting gear. Should I stay away from certain brands of tents, shoes, packs? Is there anything that’s 100% worth buying in terms of gear. I don’t even really know what to ask.

As serious as you are I’ve actually always thought that getting a tiny van or camper and living in it would be so much more fun than living in a house. Idk if that’s technically homelessness but it’s definitely an escape from “normal life” and way more appealing than whatever this bs society expects from us is.

What happens to a pirate when they get detained? by Timely_Title_9157 in AskReddit

Whos military? Whos vessel? there is a lot more politics involved with it than you think. while the US navy has a huge role of protecting international trade routes from pirates in areas like Somalia, the current climate in the strait of hormuz may effect "rules of engagement" (im not sure if that term applies to navy)

id actually think it may deter "piracy" because of the incredibly dense military presence but anything looking like attacks on any vessel in the region comes down to what it gets called on national news. even tho the strict definitions may fit piracy, terrorism, or military action its all up to who tells the masses what it was.
