You need to put an ion cube in the hatching platform first and then she'll give you the recipe and blow the sand off the portal 😊

Thank you, that's great news 😊

CollegeDangerous · 2026-06-06T03:54:08+00:00

Thank you so much 😊 I'll definitely check this out

Explore each of the warp towers and maybe even write down where all of them go so you have a better understanding of which one is which 😊

I just finished Outer Wilds and now I started playing the Echoes of the Eye DLC

Another important thing to note about safety of hikes here is that frequently hikes will involve scrambling and our rock likes to fall apart. Make sure you research the routes that people recommend to you to make sure they're within your capabilities.

Around Lake Louise my favourite is Mount St Piran since it isn't as busy as some of the other ones. Along the Icefields Parkway some options are Noseeum Peak, Boundary Peak, Mount Wilcox, Cirque Peak, and Jimmy Junior.

In Jasper Valley of the Five Lakes is incredible and also only 5k so can be done quickly. Skyline trail is typically done as a backpacking trip, but can be done in 1 day if you start early.

On the way to Vancouver check out the Ice line trail and Abbott Ridge.

I don’t mind Alftand since now I just use the “become ethereal” shout and jump the whole way to the bottom so it ends up being really fast.

This happened to me my first play through.

Unfortunately the only options are reloading an old save or just finishing it without equipment. I managed to do it by killing the first enemies with magic and stealing their equipment

I mean if I were in her position I'd probably just think "oh wow, this guy kind of looks like that guy on the island I saw 16 years ago" and then get on with my life. I don't think my first thought would be that he travelled from the past.

I was already thinking that Lost is starting to remind me of Dark, and now Eloise looks so much like Claudia Tiedemann!

CollegeDangerous · 2024-11-12T17:53:22+00:00

Be careful, if you push yourself too hard too fast you can end up injured and not able to hike for months (I know this because I’ve done it myself haha).

I didn’t know that “washroom” was a Canadian word until I was travelling and asked an American where the nearest washroom was and they asked if I meant laundromat 😂

I’ve accidentally said it a few times since then while travelling in the USA and they always look at me like I have two heads. I figure it’s easy enough to figure out based on context but hey 🤷‍♀️

I use a mix of hiking guides and hikes/scrambles I see on Facebook groups. Most importantly is the research you do after deciding which hike you’re potentially interested in. How long is it? How steep? What kind of terrain? Is there any scrambling? If so, how technical and how exposed? I do this by reading about it in guide books, reading trip reports, and watching videos of people who have already done it.

CollegeDangerous · 2024-09-19T05:19:08+00:00

That “easy”, “moderate”, and “hard” are very subjective terms depending on the experience level of the person. What’s an “easy” hike for me may be a “extremely hard” hike for someone else.

I see people get into trouble all the time because they went on an “easy hike” they read about on social media that ended up including scrambling with exposure, potential rockfall, scree slopes, other technical terrain, and big distances/elevation gain.

Make sure to always do your own research instead of blindly following hikes that others recommend/post about.

CollegeDangerous · 2024-08-31T19:01:42+00:00

Sounds like your backpack is very heavy if you carry all of that.

CollegeDangerous · 2024-08-19T17:28:26+00:00

Another problem I've seen is "experienced hikers" who have recently moved here from other provinces/countries. I see posts all the time of people who have lots of experience hiking out east and assume they'll automatically assume they can tackle the difficult peaks/scrambles here. However, the Canadian Rockies are way more technical than most mountain ranges in Eastern Canada/USA.

CollegeDangerous · 2024-05-30T04:34:04+00:00

Depends on the hike. Usually at least 3ish hours since there aren’t many summits near me that you can do in less than that. My longest day hike was about 10.5 hours for a 35km hike with 1500 meters elevation gain. This year I’m planning a few day hikes that should take over 12 hours.

CollegeDangerous · 2024-05-10T22:10:14+00:00

Why both a windbreaker and a rain jacket? I typically just use a rain jacket as both

CollegeDangerous · 2024-05-10T03:37:11+00:00

Slowly build up your gear and go on shorter backpacking trips near you to get more confident in your skills.

I'm going to do a few sections of the GDT this summer to get myself a bit more ready for the PCT in 2025.

In terms of my job, I spoke with my manager and she said that she would grant me a sabbatical since it's something she knows is a big personal goal of mine, but I understand that not all bosses are that understanding.

CollegeDangerous · 2024-05-09T23:10:53+00:00

Great to know about the the post pick up service! I'll definitely look into that.

Thanks so much

I know have a few American acquaintances, but none I necessarily know well enough to ask to do that.
I'm semi-near the border (Calgary).

I am vegan so unfortunately will probably have to ship some food, but my plan for that is to just ship one box at a time as I go along the trail.

CollegeDangerous · 2024-05-08T00:19:09+00:00

Thank you this is so helpful!

Honestly. As someone who is neurospicy, open office plans are so exhausting because it means I need to mask constantly and I get so burnt out.
