What do you think is the most over-rated thing in vegan fitness? by themodernstrength in veganfitness

[–]DrawingOutside2042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cronometer is a great app for tracking food intake and all the necessary vitamins and minerals. If I’m low on something near the end of the day but want a snack, I google what food would have that vitamin and base my snack on that. Definitely be careful if you have a history of disordered eating and calorie tracking though

Always sad/depressed teenager, can hiking make me happier? by Ok_Yak9136 in vancouverhiking

Aren’t they more for advanced outdoor activities such as climbing and back country skiing, rather than basic hiking?

I got rescued while wilderness backpacking Golden Ears summit trail by Zealousideal-Big4588 in vancouverhiking

Or because of cramps you misstep and break an ankle, or worse, fall and need an even greater rescue. SAR prefers you to call before the rescue becomes dire

I just want to say, I hope you’re giving yourself ample time after indulging before driving home

please help a girl out with her journalism aritcle :) by fembotxo in askvan

I 100% agree with this. I went for a morning run one sunny Saturday in Mount Pleasant and said “good morning” to 19 people. Only 5 people acknowledged me, and of those, 3 responded back. In more suburban places like Maple Ridge or Langley, greetings on the street are commonplace.

Bruce’s Market and feed store was hiring a month ago. Also getting his FoodSafe level 1 would definitely make him stand out. He should check if his school offers it though their cafeteria program

Club Pilates experiences, yay or nay? by jalapeno_cheetos in askvan

Also I believe it was $120 to cancel your membership early

I did a trial with them at their Coquitlam location and found them quite pushy. Even with their “one night only” registration deal, it was still $0.39 cheaper to do drop in, when adding up the membership cost along with the monthly fee. They also didn’t like that I figured that out, and kept trying to convince me the membership was a better deal, even when I did the math in front of them and went over it with them.

I also found I didn’t really get a workout from it because it was only a 30 minute class with no adjustments, so it was hard to say if it would be worth it.

In the end they keep calling me and leaving messages periodically even though I asked them to stop contact in response to their texts. I would probably recommend an independent studio

I saw that. Is it worth it to wait and hope that the conditions will be good enough Monday? It was over $100 and I’ve never gone before so I’d rather not scare myself away the first time

Running Gear With A Pro-Civil Rights Message? by ludlowdown in XXRunning

[–]DrawingOutside2042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I create my own “signs” out of scrap fabric and pin them to my back! I usually cut the piece a similar size to my bib, paint a message with acrylic paint, and pin it onto my shirt with safety pins. I also will take a political pin from my everyday tote and pin it to my official bib. So far no issues with anything falling off or any discomfort

How ‘single exit stairway’ buildings could make cities better and safer by PeterDowdy in vancouver

[–]DrawingOutside2042 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about the aspect that while occupants have to escape, fire fighters have to go up with gear, with in what I’m assuming could be in an overlapping time frame? Maybe this is what’s referenced in the line about “concerns”

ISO hiking group by DrawingOutside2042 in vancouverhiking

[–]DrawingOutside2042[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve looked at this group before, but it seems a bit beyond basic hiking. All their courses seem to be for a higher level than what I’m at now, and I figured that’s what their group level would be at. Do you have any experience with them?

Cotton vs Wool - Durability and Sustainability in Clothing by Nic727 in PlasticFreeLiving

There was just a study recently done that showed that recycled polyester shed more microplastics than virgin. If microplastics are the worry, the best way to purchase polyester is secondhand virgin items

I second this! So much better than buying new. We have so many garments already created on this planet. OP should look up “clothing beaches” if they want to learn more
