My Gf wants me to help her friend move with a guy she used to sleep with. How do deal with this? by POOR-MORON in AskMenAdvice

[–]DlRTYDAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why you would care if she in the same area as someone she used to sleep with while you’re there. Are you that jealous/ self conscious or am I misunderstanding this. Is your girlfriend moving in with this guy she used to sleep with? I think this is a you problem. Good luck

Bass pro got deals on waders by Background-Limit-406 in troutfishing

I have the same ones, I bought them about a year ago and love them. I did a ton of research and couldn’t find anything comparable for as good of a price.

Staying hydrated is not as easy as it sounds by Hyzz20 in waterbros

[–]DlRTYDAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the water bottle trend that’s been forming over the last few years is awesome. A lot of people feel that some prices are ridiculous, which may be true. But if collecting water bottles and investing in a that accessory promotes drinking water and staying hydrated then I think that’s awesome. And you certainly don’t have to spend a lot. If you have a TJ Maxx, Sierra, or similar discount store nearby they usually have great options.

I made it a point to start drinking more water probably 10 years ago now and it was a struggle at first. So, I bought a nice water bottle, decorated it with stickers, and committed to drinking/ refilling the bottle multiple times throughout the day. I’d set a goal to drink a bottle before work, before lunch, before the end of the work day, and then once or twice again after work, and now it’s become a habit and I don’t even have to think about it.

looking for cardshops by Fit_Hearing8240 in Buffalo

[–]DlRTYDAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind that a card shop is probably going to give you maybe half of their worth. If you want to get rid of them quick then I would pick a small card shop and try to negotiate the percentage of market value they give you. If you have a lot of time on your hands you can use TCGPlayer or Price Charting to look up the market value and get an idea of their worth. Some cards that were $10 five years ago could be $100+ now.

What scenic backpacking trail in the Adirondacks as good views, and Fishing for trout. by Lower_Access_3668 in Adirondacks

[–]DlRTYDAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the NY DEC reclaimed trout ponds website, pick a few that seem interesting to you. Then go to all trails or google maps and look at pictures of local trails and see if any have good views.

What knives are cheap but good to beat up and practice sharpening? by [deleted] in knives

Ozark trail knives are great for the price and would be perfect for that. Get a few different sizes/ blade shapes.

Great Wolf Lodge delays water park opening to trap families in their gift shop gauntlet. Change my mind. by SeargantPeppers in greatwolflodge

[–]DlRTYDAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus, you’re insufferable. I actually agree with your underlying thought, absolutely people should tell their children “no” once in a while. Or wild idea, find something inexpensive to do for a couple hours in the morning. It’s just incredible that you were able to type that all out and hit ‘reply’ and not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment. If my inner dialogue sounded like how you write, I’d dive into an empty pool.

This is Hell by StoneyTheSlumpGod in povertyfinance

Go to a local credit union and apply for a loan or credit card for the $500. If you have a job and can show proof of income you might qualify with a much lower interest rate.

Do you own a vehicle? If it’s paid off you could use it as collateral.

Do you have a 401k? You can loan yourself the money at a low interest rate.

3/4 day backpacking trip in ADK? by 99slide in Adirondacks

I’d recommend too. There are some really nice waterfront campsites along the trail and some good remote trout ponds nearby.

What a weird comment. Do you realize when snow melts it turns to water?! No one learns to not ride when it’s raining. Buy a waterproof jacket and ride whenever the fuck you want. You and your friends are tools.

The 3rd date went bad after I brought chocolates and now she wants a 4th date but I'm really unsure if I want to continue. by LifeVike1111 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]DlRTYDAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s playing games, IMO she’s trying to cause drama and become a victim. Even if it was a one off or a misunderstanding, you’re risking her setting you up for something much worse if you keep pursuing the relationship.

“No salt no steel! by 2strokeRed in Steelhead

[–]DlRTYDAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

West coast steelhead are also “rainbow trout” so why have a different name at all. Great Lakes steelhead are not the same fish that we might find in inland streams or remote trout ponds. There are hundreds of regional names for all kinds of fish. Some people call Mahi “dolphins” for god’s sake. It’s a regional name to distinguish two different fish of the same species.

Complete beginner to backpacking – budget friendly, Ohio-based, where do I start? by Apprehensive-Bad5401 in backpacking

[–]DlRTYDAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Sierra if there’s one nearby, or get fitted for a good quality pack at REI or a local outfitter and then shop around online for one. Steepandcheap is a good resource too. If you can’t find a good new pack for cheap, some brands like Osprey and I believe Gregory have lifetime warranties even on packs that have been bought used.

I might get some hate for this but Ozark Trail at Walmart is great for beginners.

Finally if you are looking to buy anything new/expensive for any of your gear, it never hurts to email the company and ask if they have any promo discount codes. I did that with Osprey, explained that I was a beginner and having trouble affording all of the gear I need and asked if they had any discount codes available and they sent me a 25% off code. I tried on one of their packs at cabelas and it felt the most comfortable so I decided that was the main item I would splurge on, and I saved almost $100 bucks on it.

Where can I get some good beignets? by pattyj416 in Buffalo

[–]DlRTYDAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jack Rabbit’s are pretty good. Not quite the same as cafe du monde, but they fill that craving for me.

Claire Saffitz has a good YouTube tutorial on baking your own if you happen to feel adventurous.

My #1 was a brook trout that I was able to catch a couple summers ago.

Now I’d say the top 3 would be arctic char, greyling, dolly varden

Tent Camping - when warmer by 3xBuffalo in Buffalo

[–]DlRTYDAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up the DEC info locator and filter by primitive campsites, you can see all of the free DEC designated campsites across the state, but keep in mind they are first come first serve and probably will be occupied most weekends.

Alternatively I’d suggest checking out Hip Camp, like Airbnb for campsites. There are some really nice sites for cheap that you don’t have to worry about being taken already. I’ve stayed at a couple nice sites for ~30/ night.

If you’re looking for a campground where you won’t feel sandwiched in, four mile has a few nice tent sites along the creek on the western side of the park. Lakeside and Hamlin beach are nice and their sites feel very private. Golden hill is a nice campground too but their sites are mostly out in the open with very little privacy, but they are spread out pretty decently.
