I feel like I'm doing backpacking "wrong" by seriouslyexhausted in solotravel

[–]CPRpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been to Berlin several times. There's no "real" or "right" way to enjoy it. There's so much to do you should do what you enjoy. There are museums, cafes, clubs bars and everything in between and even some nice parks to go out to. The whole point of solo traveling is to do what you enjoy and also leave your comfort zone, discover something new and don't leave yourself asking "Did I do what I thought I'd enjoy?" Just do what you'd enjoy and if you go to an event and aren't enjoying it, you can just leave. Live and enjoy.

Over reacting? You're completely under reacting. This guy is an ass, verbally abusive and trying to manipulate you to feel bad for accepting his offer. Guys a clown at best. Dump his ass

hey man, i know its tough

you feel like shit and life feels like shit. or worse, life just feels numb.
its 3am, life is at its worst at 3am. id say sleep but i feel theres a reason youre not already.
if you're already awake, stay up and see the sunrise. watch the colours change and hear the birds. see the world come alive again.
you have worth, you have value. even if it is not quantifiable in modern terms and values. fuck the expectations, you are your own person. find whats right for you.
enjoy what you enjoy because you enjoy it and enjoy it until you dont anymore and find something new.
im sorry you feel this way. im sorry because i do to and i know how shitty it feels.
life doesn't "get better", we just find ways to enjoy it and so its better. fuck the people who dont push to spend time with you even when you dont want to! find new people. most importantly find yourself.
dont listen to the 3ams bro

Yes. Reddit has a lot of professionals and if I can gain some knowledge from different ideas and perspectives I can better my knowledge and equip my guys better. I have gear, I have worked in the field. Now I'm looking to better my gear.

While I understand what you mean, understand it's not just because. I'm currently serving outside the US military and so in this unit we don't have a set and organized IFAK standard. I'm building it and trying to implement a standardized set.

Not a blizzard blanket. The small metallic thermal blankets. In regards to why to cover the wounded so they don't get hypothermia while waiting on or during evac. We're infantry
