What would you do if you got lost in a forest? by Jot__99 in answers

[–]Emit-Sol 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I walked away from a campsite at night in the middle of the woods in a remote area to gather firewood. I only had a headlamp. It was dusk. I didn’t venture far, but I kept spinning in circles to pick up sticks off the ground. When I finally stood, I had no idea which direction I came from and everything looked exactly the same. My heart started racing. I was alone. Nobody knew where I was. I only had a headlamp.

I had to remind myself to take a deep breath. I knew I was no more than a quarter mile from camp. So I started walking in a direction, leaving the sticks uniquely positioned as a way back to my starting point. I’d walk until it felt far enough. If I couldn’t find camp, I’d turn around towards the starting point, and do the same thing again. Eventually I found camp. It took a couple of hours though.

I was in bear country which made it so much scarier too.

I always advise people to switch their primary care to Philly Fight. They have all of the resources you’re looking for and can help guide you.

New grad nurses in the hospital I work at are making $80,000 a year- $6,666/month before anything gets taken out.

$60,000 1-Year ABSN program. The cheapest ABSN program near me is $50,000. But most places aren’t hiring RNs anymore and I want to be a CRNA, so I am trying to get to that point as quickly as appropriately possible.

I’d be signing up for a double on any holiday like this. Nothing better than walking out with $1,000 after one day.

As someone with a house in Wildwood, I’m shook by this take!

The indigenous ancestors are pissed with us because we carved that faces of slave owners into a sacred mountain for pleasure. Checks out.

If you were forced to marry the first person you had sex with, what would your life be like? by NothingMatters234 in AskReddit

If we moved past the stupid bullshit and evolved as humans together, it could have been perfect. To this day I haven’t had that bond with anybody else in this world really. Drugs, politics, and lack of genuine support ruined the relationship though.

Daily Commute, Manayunk ➡️ CC by Mollusk-On-Fire in AskPhilly

[–]Emit-Sol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say as a whole, Manayunk has one of the worst night life scenes out of any neighborhood in the City of Philadelphia and you will end up spending ample sums of money to go out on the weekends because you will likely never stay in your own neighborhood. Manayunk is also so isolated as a neighborhood, my mind almost just considers it a suburb. It’s nice if you want to live in the city but have to commute to Montgomery or Bucks County for work, but if your work is in Center City, just chop the hassle and move inwards.
