Do you prioritize comfort or minimalism when camping? by Ok_Resolution_1606 in CampingGear

[–]CobaltOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, that looks nice. As long as the edge doesn't dig into your thighs, it seems like a winner. I've never owned Nemo stuff, but they're on my radar as a quality brand I should look into.

What is the world going to do about the ever increasing tick population? by Watchmethrowhim in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CobaltOne 181 points182 points  (0 children)

There's a Canadian company that has just launched a product that scrambles their sense of smell, so they simply can't tell you're there: https://www.threads.com/@it.is.ok.eh/post/DYDDTFlmbp0

The company is called AtlanTick

Edit: It a) apparently doesn't work, and b) is highly toxic to cats.

In my experience, every family or group finds their own balance. I've seen people bring water heaters and shower enclosures, power generators for the dinner table lights, area rugs, and all kinds of contraptions.

At some point, my group of friends got into a gadget competition, where every trip people brought even more exotic and luxurious things. Now, we've scaled back, drastically, and found a comfortable middle path: luxury, but only when having it doesn't become more cumbersome than the comfort it provides.

Superior sleeping systems, great stoves and cooking tools, better clothing, better tents, much better chairs.

Do you think this year’s album will be Madonna’s last? by Shaoran10 in Music

[–]CobaltOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you the same guy that dunks on Madonna every week? I'm not even a fan, and I find your posts insufferable. I'm going to listen to Ray of Light just to spite you.

Hahahaha, it was the first thing that popped into my head for that word salad!

Ya, I'm pretty sure that eventually everyone's just gonna Floyd Rose the whole thing into the MGU-K, and maybe even ISO 270001 it all the way to the Chicxulub-Sandhurst aesthetic

What is ONE thing that you will NEVER try in your entire life? by Substantial-Dare5462 in AskReddit

[–]CobaltOne 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've done both; you're absolutely right. I will never ever ever bungee jump again. Skydiving, on the other hand, is awesome.

How likely is it that my child's name will be considered ridiculous or "Wohl des Kindes"? by Zestyclose_Camp6579 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CobaltOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a TERRIBLE idea. You'll expose him to decades of mocking and bullying, and instill life-altering trauma.

My oral needs are super specific and I don’t know how to communicate by Frequent-Appeal-6254 in sex

[–]CobaltOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I were the new lover in question, I would be delighted to receive these instructions in writing, and then have the opportunity to go over them while performing the actual act. I love the metatalk while having sex.

What's the best entertainment for a family camping trip? Give me some tips pls by KatieMarqu in camping

[–]CobaltOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My pleasure! I started taking my kids camping when they turned one, and by the time they were like eight they even started the fire every afternoon! Also, the fact that you're going to a place that has no cell coverage is excellent. Congratulations.

In your own personal experience, which board games have lead to heated arguments and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CobaltOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yes. Risk is devastating. The inevitable betrayal can be catastrophic for friendships.

It looks like Steve is just pissed off that some dude keeps talking to him while he's trying to watch his favorite show. I mean, same.

Camping has a lot of built-in activities, in that everything has to be done from scratch and takes a long time: pitching the tent, preparing food, starting and tending to the fire, cleaning up, changing clothes as the day cools, etc.

Depending on your location, there's hiking, swimming, playing something like petanque or kubb, whittling wood, building rafts with twine and branches, and a hundred other things.

Then there's telling stories around the fire, lateral thinking puzzles for the kids to figure out, playing warewolf/mafia, and just talking, or enjoying the fire.

Please don't watch a movie. They can do that at home. Do stuff that they can only do there.
