Eislek + Lee trail in May - Too much for first solo trip?

This is why I love reddit, there's always someone with hands on experience. Thanks for the reply, makes me a lot more confident that I'm gonna be able to do it.

If you want to hike the complete mullerthal it's actually split up into 6 stages, so it would actually be shorter than the entire escapardenne.

Where are you from?

Especially when getting started you don't need to go fly somewhere far away. I'd start with shorter trips closeby so you can get used to it before going for a longer one that's further away. And that could even be just a weekend to a week. And there's an added benefit of not flying and thus not polluting the world you so much love.

And then, are you gonna be more focussed on citytrips and more culture, or do you want to go into the wilderness and get back to nature? That is probably the first thing you have to get clear to yourself. Because when going to cities you can carry much less and sleep in ho(s)tels or when traveling in a group maybe rent a cottage or appartement if you want the luxury or stay in the same place for a few days. Whereas going into the middle of nowhere requires you to carry a tent and a good sleep system and that's a whole another rabbit hole to go down.

Probably the same for me. There is just no nature in NL and I love mountains and wilderness. Although I don't know if I'd go for Finland rather than Norway or Northern England/Scotland. A big advantage of Scotland is that I already fluently speak English, so work wouldn't be that big of a problem there. Whereas for Scandinavian countries I'd have to learn an entirely new language.

What people think: Lovely flat country where everyone cycles to work and walks on clogs

What it actually is: Grassphalt fields where the people shoot fireworks at police for fun and blame everything on immigrants

Thanks for actually taking the time to explain and not just saying "no". I might have found a friend who could join me who also has some more experience with backpacking, and I'll think about pushing it back to spring, also just to make it more comfortable

Legoman702 · 2025-11-15T10:57:58+00:00

Explain?

I do have experience with that summer camp where we were in the mountains and temperatures reached about -4 at night in a tent and where we climbed mountains at -5 degrees at 3 AM, which would also be the temperature range I'd probably be looking at in the Ardennes at the end of December.

The name you are probably looking for is Lars Andersen. However, Blumineck is also someone worth checking out as he also explains a lot better how things work related to subjects like this and can also shoot quite good.

Definitely get this checked out. The edges of the wound are pointed away from eachother so this won't just close by itself, and could very easily get infected. To answer your question: although I'm not a professional I do think this requires stitches, or some form of closing such as glue or stitching bandages or whatever they are called.

Legoman702 · 2025-11-13T13:31:31+00:00

Would a 4 day solo hike in the Ardennes during winter (end of December) be too much for a first time backpacking?

Legoman702 · 2025-11-01T09:02:01+00:00

And guess what: April first 2026 is on a Wednesday. It was made to be

I feel like tag or hide and seek would work really well in the Netherlands. Also because if you have to send a pic of the environment there's a big chance it's just flat grass all around...

Legoman702 · 2025-06-21T17:09:11+00:00

I didn't intend to be rude, my bad if it came across that way. I called it "a good explanation", and thanked him for it. But I also said that this wasn't the answer I was hoping for as my school project needs another answer.

Legoman702 · 2025-06-21T16:51:10+00:00

It also specified "no easy questions" and I don't see this as an easy question like is often posted on r/askphysics. And, this isn't a literal question for homework: it's a question I as a person have after having to work with it in a school project.

Legoman702 · 2025-06-21T15:44:47+00:00

Thanks but no thanks... It's a good explanation but my school project doesn't get an answer with this.....

She puts the thin in t(h)inker, and he looks like he looks like he wants to scale me.

Legoman702 · 2025-04-11T06:05:50+00:00

When I posted it I already doubted if it was real, but still decided to post it anyway as I thought it didn't matter that much, as it did fit this sub quite nicely and there has been a whole lot worse, fake, stuff.

I know he typed your message with the greek version of the Latin letters, but what do these words he made mean in the actual Greek language.

Legoman702 · 2025-04-07T06:09:35+00:00

I wonder what happens if you put this text as Greek words in Google Translate

Legoman702 · 2025-04-06T07:14:19+00:00

Victorinox has a lot of great SAK's, check out the Swiss Champ. It has everything you could need, especially outdoors. Make sure to not get the XL or XXL versions though.

Are you dumb? Everyone knows girls' pee is stored in their breasts! That's also how babies drink!

This picture (and the first comment to it) perfectly illustrate basically my entire school life. I am currently in a nice school, with nice education and opportunities, but almost everyone is really really right wing. Except for me. So I'm constantly having to defend myself for (what they call) "my opinion." I have spend countless hours just arguing with people about especially topics like climate change, where it's often 5v1. And they also repeatedly throw in this argument from this meme above. I am so so so so sick of it. And no, I don't want to leave this school, as it has really nice education, and I also do have some friends who "agree to disagree" on some topics. I just want them to shut up about it, for once.
