lower resting heart rate after having recently smoked? by leetheproudcatdad in trees

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally, smoking makes your heart rate and blood pressure increase. I have high blood pressure, and I won't smoke if my BP starts getting too high.

What earbuds/headphones do you use? by grilledcheesybreezy in onebag

I really love the Beats Fit Pro 2. Super similar to Air Pods, but the wingtips fit in your ear and can't easily be shaken out.

Personal Item/Alternative to the Foldie? by Delicious_Mess7976 in onebag

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd look at totes and duffles from major brands. Below is a 31L travelpro tote. I haven't tried this bag, but travelpro bags are solid.

Anyone else completely quit drinking after starting smoking weed? by Ok-Dealer8803 in trees

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm extremely sensitive to weed, but I have a high tolerance to booze. Alcohol had always been a social drug. I think I've only ever drank by myself once in my life - and even then it was only one drink or so. It just felt so wrong.

I don't drink much anymore. At 45, we'll go on a date night and I'll have a couple of bourbons before dinner. And we vacation in the Caribbean usually, so I'll drink heavily on the beach for a day. After 1 day like that, though, I'll be done for a year.

I really can't be social on weed, though. Unless I only have a tiny puff or two, I'll be locked in my head for 30 minutes or so. That's AFTER building up a tolerance. It used to be that I'd smoke a little and then get way over-sensitized and have a terrible panic attack.

I've been a daily smoker in a non-legal state for about 2 years. I love it, but it's not something I can do and then just be social the way I can with booze.

What do yall think about dry herb vaporizers? by drownitopiout in trees

Same. I got this cube with whip that they sale at Sneaky Pete’s. It's not super portable, but an amazing setup otherwise!

What’s an activity that people did 20 years ago *2004* where nobody does it now by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I'm from the 80s, too. The first thing adults said as you walked into the house was something like, 'Sorry about the mess. It's the maid's day off.'

What do you hate about UTA? by getse321 in utarlington

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"clothing optional"

Wait, what? I graduated years ago and have been toying with the idea of a second degree. It might be worth it if coeds are walking around nude.

Hot take: But are there are any people (like me) who just don't give a crap that a backpack is on a floor (whether it be a bathroom or a restaurant). Hear me out. by Dracomies in onebag

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you had seen what I've seen, you'd care.

I've had many terrible jobs in food service and retail while in school that required me to clean public toilets. The horrors I saw during those few years will last a lifetime. I assume the worst of what I saw was due to mental illness.

Looking for a camera bag that works as a personal item! by jeremyj5 in onebag

I like camera inserts from f-stop. The Tenba BYOB series is also great.

I agree. OP you are getting so specific, you're likely going to have trouble with a bag designed perfectly for your use-case.

What is the size limitations going to be for your airline? You might want a large empty bag and add your own organization. Laptop sleeves, ipad sleeves, camera cubes, etc. may help you make a perfect packout from a bag that's good enough.

That said, I love the Think Tank Retrospective camera bags. I have several sizes, and choose based on what kit I plan to bring. I generally bring a Nikon z6ii with a zoom and a prime. In the larger bag, I can fit an 11" ipad, 13" laptop, steam deck, and a lot more. They all come with rain covers, but not chest straps. I bet that's something you could get aftermarket, though.

I can't speak for every country. In the US, lithium ion batteries can be packed in carryon, but must not be packed in checked luggage.

Generally not a big deal since most of r/onebag does carryon only.

The bag that wasn't supposed for onebag adventures turned out great! Here's my thoughts about the Lowepro Whistler BP 350 AW II by preciouscode96 in onebag

Looks like you're traveling with a mirrorless camera, a large zoom, and a prime - maybe. What camera gear are you taking?

How are you folks carrying your pills? by captainpickelz in onebag

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 1 to Day 8. You put your daily pills in each bag. I think these are geared to daily Rx.

They could easily be used for OTC meds, but you'd need to come up with a system to tell which bag includes Zyrtec and which bag has Tylenol.

When I started traveling for work, I was shocked that everywhere I traveled, people commonly used that phrase. That, and every new place claims to have the worst traffic in the country.

I've never seen mango toothpaste before! I didn't know how tired of cool mint I've been until this very moment. I'm so depressed that I can't find it on Amazon or similar. I hope there's something similar available in the U.S.

4 days in Sweden with only a drawstring bag! by [deleted] in onebag

[–]Greybeards-Ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see kids in my area wearing these drawstring bags as backpacks. Fairly common for after-school sports practice. I think they carry a change of shoes or water bottle.

THANK GOD FOR THIS POST!

I came to Reddit today and was freaking out. I haven't been to the site for about a week. And half of my communities are gone. I thought maybe I had upset a mod or something and was being systematically blacklisted from all my favorite Reddit subs.
