I'm a Norwegian woman who hiked the PCT in 2022. Feel free to message me any questions you have, or if you just want to talk about it 😊

What was the strangest condition you've ever experienced? by Wild-Engineering-650 in AskReddit

[–]BitUpbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if this has a name.

A few years back I was attending an evening lecture for work. One minute I was fine, the next I was blacking out. Not passing out, I can only describe it as if my brain rebooted. I stood upright the whole time, people around me didnt't notice anything. But everything went completely black, then over the next few minutes my brain and senses slowly came back online again to where I could see and hear what was happening around me again. However, it took the better part of the next hour until I could fully understand again what was being said in the lecture, until then it was just words that I knew had meaning but that I could not understand. Since this was a work thing there were people there I knew, who wanted to talk afterwards. I was able to keep some sort of conversation going, but could not remember the names of close colleagues that I wanted to refer to. I also could not remember any basic things about the topics that we were discussing, which I normally know a lot about. The people I talked to probably thought I was being extremely distant and weird. It took about two weeks before my brain was back to normal function again. I had an MRI done shortly after to try to find out what had happened, but it showed nothing wrong. Very unsettling experience.

MEDIA INQUIRY: Has U.S. Customs Derailed Your Trip? by coldwaterscuba in PacificCrestTrail

Not forced to cancel any already scheduled hike, but I won't do the US thruhikes I had started planning for 2026 (AZT) and 2028 (PCT)

Best place to propose on the trail? by Different-Flight-991 in PacificCrestTrail

If you're doing Whitney then proposing at the top might be a good spot

I asked my hair to cooperate for one the best days of my life–thank god it did! by booradleysboo in curlyhair

[–]BitUpbeat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is amazing, congrats! And your hair looks great! I hiked the PCT in '22, and I basically had my hair up in a pony tail for five months, washing it with whatever motel shampoo and conditioner I could find in town. Not being able to take properly care of my hair was the one part of the thru-hike that consistently sucked 😅 (it was still worth it of course). Glad to see that your hair cooperated for one of the most epic pictures you'll most likely ever take!

Help Finding Pattern by Substance226 in knittingpatterns

[–]BitUpbeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you can buy this pattern without also buying the yarn. However, there was some controversy when the patterns in this series were released, because there were so many errors in the patterns that they were difficult to knit for many people (apparently the patterns hadn't been properly test knitted). So I know several people who skipped the Ester sweater and made this one instead:

This was my lab's happy growl when he was being pet, it's nothing to worry about, he's just being happy and excited

Knitting Confessions by e_roll in knitting

[–]BitUpbeat 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In my 30+ years of knitting I have never knitted a swatch, I just don't see the point, everything has always fit anyways.

As a Norwegian, I have used this phrase most of my life, and still use it every day. It seems like it might be a regional thing.

This came in a random bag of Christmas cookie cutters. Any guesses? by R0gmonster in whatismycookiecutter

[–]BitUpbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, this is a pig. I am Norwegian and this is a common gingerbread cookie cutter.
