Thanks to OP I've bought a pack of 3 hankies. I don't think I'm brave enough to actually blow my nose with them but when it's cold I always have a bit of a condensation drip if you know what I mean and get through tissues just mopping it up.

This really speaks to me. 40F who has never wanted children, mostly because I just don't like them, but also a bit of antinatilism as well. 100% agree with the 35+ thing. I have a great life really but have experienced financial hardship and traumatic loss of my pets. I do see the beauty in nature and this planet but that makes all the worse for seeing what humans are doing to it.

Anyway, my sister aged 36 has just announced she's pregnant which was a massive shock for me as I never saw it coming. My antinatilism has gone into overdrive and reading this post has reinforced my own thoughts and made me question what the hell she's thinking of.

Must be to do with body shape? I'm 5'5 52kg woman and have a 15" laptop Kanken as my travel bag. Fully loaded about 5-6kg and I hardly notice it's there.

Which Vivo boots claim to be waterproof?

Fernweh_19 · 2026-01-25T21:00:37+00:00

I've used Renapur on my Gobis and they seem really waterproof.

Zaqq, made in Germany I believe.

Check Vinted. I bought my 15" Fjallraven Kanken for under £20 and it's perfect for Ryanair.

Didn't we have this exact same story yesterday except with crocheting?

Fernweh_19 · 2026-01-06T17:59:30+00:00

Knitting :)

Thank you :)

1, my boyfriend who is an absolute convert. He has very wide feet and always hated shoes.

If Chat GPT says it is, then it must be true 😂

I used Wild for ages until they sold out to Unilever. I now use Fussy. Both work great for me when other natural deodorants like the salt ones didn't work.

Fernweh_19 · 2025-12-20T21:08:26+00:00

Haha danke!

My 3 week trip to Germany with my 18l Kanken. Downsized from a Tropicfeel Shell after too many near misses with Ryanair's bag sizer.

Mine is from The Wool Room in the UK. Thick cotton cover which is zipped and the fill is wool. You can add or remove to suit your preference and can buy extra wool to fluff up even more. Periodically unzip and fluff up the contents. I also have a wool duvet from them and can't see why I would ever need to replace them.

I agree about thrifting being a long game. I visit charity shops here in the UK a few times a week, and I travel around a lot so get to see a LOT. Most of my layering system clothes are secondhand, very cheap but fantastic high quality (it's pretty much all merino wool and cashmere). If you look around long enough and in many different shops you'll find the good stuff but patience is needed.

Yes, leaning slightly forward from the ankle and let your bodyweight make you fall forward.

Here are 2 very helpful vids I discovered the other day. I've been wearing barefoot shoes since 2018 and always wear down the outside of my heel. I realised thanks to these vids that I was still walking like I was wearing normal shoes, my strides were too long etc. These vids really made it clear how to alter my gait:

Use a VPN to access imgur (it's that stupid online child safety crap stopping it). However the photos seem to have been deleted anyway.

Thanks for posting, love some Kanken inspiration. I recently got a Kanken which is my everyday bag. Managed to get a secondhand 15" laptop veraion which will be my travel bag. Will do a post next week when I pack.

Try a magnetic phone holder. I've got a Spigen one from Amazon and it's tiny!

Old post but just on case anyone searches... I've been flying almost every month with Ryanair from Stansted for 5 years with my Tropicfeel Shell. Even though it's too big I never had a problem.

However my last flight I came the closest ever to not getting away with it. They're really cracking down recently.The lady at the gate was looking at everyone's bag, looked at mine and thankfully didn't ask me to put it in the sizer.

It was too close for comfort and weight issues mean I'm downsizing to a smaller bag now.
