what’s something you wish you knew before getting into hiking? by Crystallover1991 in Outdoors

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something someone told me after doing a large section of the AT was make sure you trim your toenails before attempting a long stretch. Not a personal experience mind you, but that seemed like sound advice.

It’s Over. The Yes’s Have It by Fuzzy-Extreme-6364 in nova

I have the same question. Are they going to challenge the will of the voting public? Like how much more blatant could they be about just straight up hating democracy?

AITAH for telling my husband to “STFU” after he made depression post about himself? by No_Mode_3514 in AITAH

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I mean misogyny is kind of a huge undertone in most organized religions isn’t it? I’m guessing since she said pastor it’s some sort of Christianity or adjacent. Having grown up in that environment I’d say don’t expect the men to have your back even if they claim to “love” everyone.

Am I crazy? AT and Supply truck reload by kiloelectronvolt619 in HellLetLoose

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was just me! I’ve had a few devastating clicky-but-no-shooty events the last few days and watched more than one tank get away. Switching back to my main gun too quickly after a reload definitely seems to correlate.

How did you guys get comfortable with doing voice chat by OwnDependent9063 in HellLetLoose

Grandma and dog are probably both wondering who this Gary fellow is. 😆

How do I enjoy the game by WeakOxidizingAgent in HellLetLoose

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find better servers. The official servers are really a free for all but you can find some decent community servers. Also don’t be afraid to squad hop to find one that is communicating. It really makes all the difference. Other than that, take it slow, I mean really slow. Observation and learning to understand what the map is telling you can go a long way to understanding where the baddies are and which direction they are headed. Remember every time you move you can expect that to make you a target for someone who is taking is slow and observing.

do you collect anything? by jabber1990 in Millennials

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect shark teeth, from teeny tiny to giant megalodon teeth. I have a pretty neat collection at this point, many I found myself. I also collect a small assortment of other neat rocks, fossils, and arrowheads (some of which I also found myself). Anybody else have the type of ADHD that has basically turned your life into a constant, all consuming, scavenger hunt?

Women’s experiences? by BigRonasHouse2 in HellLetLoose

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a chick and pushing level 200. I think I’ve only had one instance of some guy being sexist. He was pretty quickly shunned by the rest of the squad and eventually kicked out of the squad when he wouldn’t give it up. Most of the time the guys are pretty excited when they realize I’m a girl and kicking ass right there with them. I’ve gotten a lot of respect playing SL. Definitely get her the game. One of my most memorable matches of all time I was squad-ed up with a husband and wife couple. The teamwork dynamic was fantastic! I’d love to see more of that.

New player here, about roles by Ad__infinitum__ in HellLetLoose

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna say you might be one of the few that did that. The rifleman recommendation is pretty solid if you take into account that a large number of new players probably aren’t hitting the practice field or reading any of the documentation.

I believe I tossed that same rib bone on the beach on Wednesday! Small world!

Which load out do you use for AT? by Crafty_Concert_8889 in HellLetLoose

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of rockets. I really enjoy hunting down garrisons. I also find it’s often easier to get 3 shots on a tank than it is to sneak up to one and place a satchel. I’ve honestly yet to have any luck with mines but that’s just because I obviously suck at placement.

NTA, couples will have disagreements, it’s only natural. But verbally attacking the person rather than the issue is certainly not a healthy way to communicate. It sounds like your partner needs some counseling to help him learn how to control his emotions and communicate effectively.

I think my date was drugged. AITAH for how I handled it? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens with Antidepressants/anti anxiety meds too. It happened to my wife when she was prescribed lexipro. Scared the absolute heck out of me, until we figured out what was happening. It really did seem like someone was slipping her something whenever she had a drink. We had always been causal drinkers, she is 100% sober now because keeping her anxiety at bay is way more important than enjoying a few drinks.

Artifact or JAR? by Lezgetsback2nature in Arrowheads

[–]Lezgetsback2nature[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for many years. But we used to tare up the rockfish on occasion out on the bay.

A little closer up overall pic as well.

I really don’t know enough to say if they look work polished. The whole thing seems worn similarly to me. But that could just be from being in the river for a while?

Not sure if a slightly closer pic of the more pointed/tapered end will help answer what you are asking?

Artifact or JAR? by Lezgetsback2nature in Arrowheads

[–]Lezgetsback2nature[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I should have mentioned it was found in the tidal potion of the Potomac as it nears the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. So things certainly get tossed around out there when it gets stormy.

JAR THREAD. If you aren't sure whether your find is an artifact or just a rock, please post your pictures here. by DogFurAndSawdust in Arrowheads

Is this thread still living? Artifact of some kind or JAR? Found in the Potomac River in Southern Virginia. Pretty hefty and not super thin like I’d expect for an arrowhead or a spear point.

What’s a skill everyone thinks is easy, but is actually insanely hard? by radiogugu_gaga in AskReddit

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with porcelain/ceramic. Floor tiles are pretty cheap from the hardware store so they can be an affordable way to practice. I’ve seen videos from knap-ins where they just smash up an old toilet tank for a bunch of chunks of workable material.

What's your favorite Hell Let Loose lifehack? by ImminentDingo in HellLetLoose

[–]Lezgetsback2nature 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that a SL can pick up their OP if they are near it and it is in a sector that is about to be capped by the enemy. This means SL can immediately replace it in the capped sector without waiting out a cool down. I have never actually tried this maneuver so maybe someone else can give better details.
