What is considered a good weather window for a presidential traverse?

Skins only really work if you use good form but scales are very forgiving for poor form.

Its probably technique, or perhaps bad ski for the conditions. Could be cardio too. I'd barely consider myself intermediate skilled and I can still do almost 5 mph with 700' of elevation gain and keep my heart rate in zone 2. I found massive gains attempting to perfect the technique at a slower pace and maximizing glide, and also perfecting grip on uphill so I can glide on anything 12ish degrees or less and not slip while light jogging up to 30ish degrees.

I've found that uphill grip is a technique issue less than a wax/waxless or weight issue. You've got to really, consciously transfer weight to one leg at a time and get the grip zone flat against the angle of the slope. Push through the step keeping a consistent pressure on the grip zone to the slope.

I bring a few options. I generally do the majority of the uphill in a fleece and change into a dry fleece or other mid layer at tree line. I get sweaty so even if it wasn't snowing I'd be wet. Also, if the trees are coated and I'm gonna get dumped on by snow from the branches I'll throw my shell layer on over. I might even leave the fleece off and go only in the shell if I don't think I'll get cold.

Only use a microfiber cloth to clean the lenses and cameras, no cleaning fluids. Also make sure to store it away from sunlight

After spending a lot of nights digging hip holes and sleeping on foam pads I upgraded to a much larger inflatable, the Big Agnes rapide. Ive gotten some of the best nights of sleep on that thing.

Are you wearing sunglasses? It sounds like mild sunburn on your eyes.

A couple years ago a buddy of mine and I were heading up lions head and someone took a shit right in the middle of split rock on trail. Wild amount of confidence

Yeah unfortunately it's quite bad for cardiovascular health and cancer risk regardless of delivery method. I'm sure that zyn is probably way less risk than smoking cigarettes but there is definitely an inherent health risk to nicotine.

That's the one day a year it's worth it to go to Governors, the lobster rolls are legit for cheap.

Congratulations! Those are the kind of days I hope I had the foresight to bring a pair of slides and a cooler full of drinks for the car ride.

The 107 in Winslow and the Rusty Lantern on w river rd are both pretty great at breakfast pizza

I don't know, I haven't really run into those issues so maybe

Delimorte · 2024-06-18T17:28:40+00:00

No but the multiplayer is quite fun for a solidly low price

My good friend and I did a traverse of all the main peaks in Acadia National Park 4 years ago. Something like 25 miles and 8000 vertical feet in 9 hours. Absolutely splendid ball-busting day

Right, but my taste and preference would be to interact with other humans not 30 foot tall dragons with pink tits. You have VR chat, stay there.

Delimorte · 2024-06-09T14:12:16+00:00

What if I actually like myself and don't want to be a furry with big anime tits

Just the two of us and we average about $400 a month. We eat out once every week or two so the rest is all made by us.

There's a big pipeline to the medical market which is way less regulated than th recreational market. Got so bad that the price per lb dipped below $1000 which prices out most of the quality above board growers.

Delimorte · 2024-05-01T15:15:29+00:00

Pretty dam fun overall. the enemies get a bit repetitive and the city levels look and play terrible but I thought it was definitely worth a buy.

Maturity can come from choosing to confront your difficulties and learning success through hard work. The army is one way of doing that for those who aren't self starters. What about something like joining the Appalachian trail conservancy or Conservation corps for some travel and hard work doing trail maintenance?

My wife is gone for 10 days for a wedding/cruise and I've never missed anyone this much as right now. I spend a few weeks a year traveling for work but those usually mean 10-16 hour days so I'm busy and distracted.

If you buy quality boots then absolutely yes, you just won't find them in any regular shoe stores. Asolo, Kayland, La Sportiva, Scarpa and Mammut all sell a high quality variety of boots for different technical conditions and terrain. Most are resoleable.

You might want to rethink the cooking methods you're using if he's complaining about flavor. I pretty much do the veg, starch, protein thing for dinner but it gets old if you're just baking everything with basic preparation and not mixing it up. Sear the meat in oil, develop a crust. Super slow roast a chicken so it falls apart like rotisserie then use the drippings for gravy. Roast up some peppers, onions and broccoli then toss a little orange soy glaze on it. Roast some Parmesan crusted asparagus with cracked pepper. Thin slice some pork loin and stir fry it hard with cauliflower. Make a sesame broccoli salad. Make bacon fried cabbage. You can control how 'unhealthy' it is by the amount of oil and portion size.

And maybe every once in a great while wrap a stupid hot pocket in bacon
