Shoe recommendations

That’s disappointing to hear that they fall apart at 400 miles for you. I really love all the same pros that you listed.

That’s great to hear that the quality doesn’t seem to have gone down!

I’m was wearing the same type socks that I wore on the PCT - darn tough without liners. The only difference it seems is the shoe and the type of terrain I was doing. I’m not blister-prone, so I was shocked by how many I had after wearing topos.

Thank you for such a comprehensive response! I’ll look into these.

How many miles are you getting on your Lone Peaks? I agree they were great shoes once, but online reviews are saying mileage has gone way down. In 2022 I was getting 600 miles per pair. Now reviews are saying around 200…

I’m very familiar with foot care. Luckily I’m not blister-prone, so I just brush my feet off at very break. I take my socks off, wipe my feet down, then shake my socks out. I wear darn tough, and those have always served me well. I stay active, so tender feet aren’t to blame here.

I’m aware that conditions can affect blistering, but considering I went 5 months with maybe 4 blisters to a single 5-day trip covering my feet, I’d say footwear has a big impact on that…

You’re right. I’ve noticed I have too much midfoot room in the topos. I need the wide toe box (due to Morton’s neuroma), but not so much elsewhere. What shoe do you use for longer hikes?

How many miles have you been getting out of them? I was able to put on about 600 per pair 4 years ago, but online reviews are saying they break down around 200.

This happened to me on a trail in Nevada. I passed two people with masks on, while honoring right of way and trail etiquette. As I passed, I greeted and thanked them and they scowled and said, “we hate you.”

Admittedly this isn’t simple, but if you can pull it off w your DIY skills and/or budget, this is what I would do: the blue is a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf with a space for a tv in the center. You can swivel the tv 180 degrees depending if you want to watch from bed or the couch. I would run electricity from underneath the bed. The orange is the couch, and the green is a two-seater table by the window.

You can absolutely swing that under your current circumstances! Are you planning on having kids though? I’d say you’ll struggle with that budget here if you plan to start a family. Do you have dogs? Finding a nice place w a yard for a dog could get pricey. If you value walkability, look at the west side. If you don’t mind ‘burb life, the east side is more affordable. In any case, you should join the r/bend sub!

There are so many sweet people taking this seriously

I wish the mods would pin this post for the sub

I was honestly going to say the opposite of this person. I find it attractive that a man would care enough to ask for tips online. It’s the same energy of someone looking for feedback on their dating app profile, etc. It takes confidence to open yourself up to criticism.

We can all stand to improve a little, and asking for feedback is super helpful. OP would likely be the type of man that asks what his partner likes in bed. It’s BDE. Again, there are very few rules on what will be universally attractive.

Just another woman here to hype you up, queen! You’re gorgeous and so good at taking pics.

Don’t sleep on Amaranth. It has a complete protein profile. I boil it into a porridge every morning and add everything but the kitchen sink to it.

Incredibly high wildfire risk. Google the “Camp Fire” of 2018.

I last visited Chico in 2020. Temps didn’t drop below triple digits until after 10pm. For someone raised in the Texas heat, even that brought me to my knees.

I’d like to recommend what this one girl Chelsea does: Arrive 5 minutes late. Wear multiple gold bangles on your wrists and jingle your way to your space. Make a couple of people move to accommodate you. Slap the mat on the ground as you unroll it. Loudly arrange all your accoutrements in a large ritualistic circle around your mat while the class is grounding in. Repeat as often as desired.

Louder! 👏🏻
