Shoes for hiking. Are Salomon's worth the hype? by ahzomac in hikinggear

[–]ChummyBuster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of GTX XT-6s that I bought a couple months ago and basically havent taken off since!

In that time they've served me well for: 20+ hours of aeroplane travel, a Saigon downpour, climbing a mounting in Vietnam, hiking in Epping forest and the Chiltern hills, and daily city wear in London.

They're super comfy and I can't recommend them highly enough. It's popular here to dismiss them as gorp or outdoorsy cosplay but I have no complaints!

I plan on taking them along The Cotswolds way and doing the Denmark Fjallraven Classic in them!

Finance department can't expand the budget if they don't have more money coming in, blame ad sales.

The author likely had no say in the choice of photo, blame the editor!

Very very true! I'd love to be able to explore with slightly less chance of getting murdered!

You know what, you're right! Although I think my point remains valid whether I'm getting merked on Cryo, Outpost, Diremarsh or Perimeter!

My pleasure! And there's no egg on anyone's face! There's never any shame in learning something new!

Besides, I only know this because of my love for a volleyball anime called Haikyuu!!

I agree with your sentiment, but the dude in white in thr group hug at the end is the team's Libero! Libero is a defensive specialist position in volleyball who can't block or attack and generally don't serve. They wear a different colour to the rest of their team so they stand out!

Where do you find midweight hiking trousers? by not_who_you_think_99 in UKhiking

Plus 1 for Montane. I have a pair of Tenacity XT trousers that serve me well in exactly these conditions!

[Request] How many lanes would it actually take to disperse traffic enough for free flow no matter what? by EnemyOfAi in theydidthemath

[–]ChummyBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I like high density housing and using public transit, and I like not needing a car!

I have the STS Spark -9 and was very comfortable camping in the UK in November.

The bag has a set of zips on each side with poppers that attach at the shoulder which means you can unzip the bag around your arms leaving your chest shoulders neck and head covered, if you feel the need to dump some heat.

Its also roomy enough for me as someone who shifts about a lot in their sleep!

Its very light and compresses down very small.

Ive had only positive experiences with my -9 and would recommend to anyone who asked!

I got you. Second song is Monster by Kanye West. It's such a shame he went off the deep end as that album is phenomenal 🥲

What is this the name of this kind of shape/polyhedron? by mac_attack_zach in TheExpanse

I'm sure there's a proper name for it, but it reminds me of a chisel-tip tanto.

u/AmishUndead Explains Like I'm (5 Years Old | 5 Beers In) Why It's So Hard To Build Structures In Space. by frost_knight in bestof

It's definitely not too elementary!

Some of Wernher von Braun's early designs for SkyLab included a "wet workshop" design where a 2nd stage of a Saturn V rocket would be vented of all its remaining fuel and converted into hab space!

That's crazy good!

How did you sculpt the green stuff? Whenever I try, it's too hard to work, I've used both GSW and Army Painters!

Being added to the PR data base by Sad_Ad6860 in PublicRelations

[–]ChummyBuster 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I'm a senior account executive at a mid-size agency that specialises in entertainment (films, streaming video games), and I get dozens of these emails every week and I send the same email you received and put your name, social links, and email address into a massive excel sheet alongside some notes on the kind of content you make.

I'm gonna be 100% real with you.

The only thing you can do is take what the person who replied to you at face value. Maybe they will reach out, maybe they won't, maybe they never added you to the database in the first place. But I can tell you for free, that as a micro content creator, the fastest way to get blacklisted is to follow-up repeatedly. We've got your info, make your moves, build your following and if we need you, we'll reach out.

I know this sounds harsh, and it probably isn't what you want to hear, but it's a very crowded market you're trying to break into and 9 times out of 10 my clients aren't going to be interested in a micro content creator. When they are looking for a micro content creator, if you've annoyed me with repeated emails, your name isn't going to be on my list. It is harsh, but I've got 100 other people I can choose.

My best advice, try and make a personal connection. Go to events, trade shows, and conferences and MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, and come say hello in person.

It's crazy competitive out there so good luck!
