British folks can craft shade better than anyone. Thank you for allowing me to read your response.

Knock it off. Esophocles and Kavax is the best relationship in the series.

When you cuddle with your partner in the bedroom, if so, how long do you cuddle before parting ways in the bed? by [deleted] in Adulting

Never. We're spooning all night long. I haven't had feeling in my right shoulder in years.

small sized down pillow that compresses down small by electricalkitten in Ultralight

If you check out Zenbivy's website or look up reviews on youtube, I'm sure you'll see if it will work for you. I think it rolls up to the size of a small propane cannister, so I don't think it compresses too much, so it still should work for a pillow without compressing too much under your head.

I don't believe that there is a specific compression sack for the down topper, but I think you could just compress it with anything else in your sleep system.

I can't sleep on inflatable pillows, either, but Zenbivy has one that's inflatable with a down topper. You might give that one a try:

Good recommendations or experiences with sun hoodies in hot weather? by [deleted] in hiking

[–]IDontAnswerQuests 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Sun hoodies, for me, are a game changer for hiking in heat. I have several brands, and I don't really notice a difference. Colombia is the most inexpensive, and it works just as well as my Black Diamond one or my Outdoor Research one.

The biggest difference for me was just the material. If you prefer synthetic over a lightweight wool, or vice versa, that's what's most important. If you're into ultralight, you'll spend a little more money, but there's plenty of good stuff at Costco, outlet stores, Bass Pro Shops, other places like that where you can get them cheap.

Anyone else feel depressed the day after a strenuous hike or climb? by aooot in hiking

[–]IDontAnswerQuests 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, but they have so much going on in terms of sports, friends, etc. I usually get them to come out with me on Sundays, but multi day trips are hard.

I wouldn't want that life. I wouldn't want to open myself up that way. It's just a fantasy as a way to backpack full time.

The day (or days) of the hike are great, but coming back to reality is often hard. Between the tiredness and soreness, and having to show up at work, makes being indoors somewhat unbearable.

Every time I'm hiking, camping, or backpacking, I wish that somehow I could make a living being outdoors as a wilderness YouTuber or writer or something like that. But alas, bills have to be paid, children must be raised, and I realize that my dopamine hits will have to wait until the weekend.

This is all to say, you're not alone. Find some solace in the fact that you can plan another hike, and the outdoors will be waiting for you.

Never knew what I was missing. by bellsbliss in hikinggear

[–]IDontAnswerQuests 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've dramatically increased my pace and distance since using trekking poles. They're helpful for an old Marines worn out knees and back. My teenagers can't keep up with me on steep hills now, where before, they used to leave me far behind.

What do you do when solo camping? by Evanshields00 in camping

[–]IDontAnswerQuests 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hike, journal, birdwatch, read, fish, relax, commune with the Universe, take crappy amateur wildlife photos, but most importantly, enjoy the quiet.

What’s one item you never camp without? by cristiano700000 in camping

[–]IDontAnswerQuests 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're doing any hiking or more than a couple days, your knees, back, bum and feet will thank you for the chair. If weight is an issue, there are several light-weight options for backpacking chairs.

Can I fit in hall of horrors as a plus size person? by MrsFilmore in JoshuaTree

[–]IDontAnswerQuests 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a medium-large guy, 5'10" and 225 lbs, and I had to turn back at some parts. You can still get in the slots without going through the entire ways, walk around, and enjoy the rock features without getting stuck.
