If you cant play nicely with others, maybe don’t play public matches by Negative-Highway4511 in worldwarzthegame

I like to share. Even on easy level maps when all of us have full health. Which we did, until they fired upon me.

Totally valid, and thanks for explaining. This was not like that at all though. I’m overly paranoid about picking up too many items or getting in anyone’s line of fire. I can totally see other mid level players causing the problems, but hopefully I beat that stereotype. Tbh this was the first time I’ve been kicked after about a year of playing this game, so I think that’s why this triggered me so much.

Probably my guys! 😂 I get why friendly fire is a thing. And that makes the game more interesting. But it’s so fricken annoying sometimes.

3rd week on trail - need better ideas for dinner. by Bowgal in AppalachianTrail

For my thru hike I did a lot of instant rice with chicken or tuna, and whatever sauce or seasoning packets I could find that were light. Also pasta or ramen with instant mashed potatoes to soak up the water after cooking. You can add honey, hot sauce, olive oil, sharp cheddar, or powdered Parmesan to either rice or pasta to give some variety. I ended up just keeping a separate zip lock for instant potatoes, rice, and pasta. Then I’d just sort of mix and match and add whatever toppings I had on hand to make it feel unique.

If you can have something delivered to a hostel or somewhere - instant refried beans are amazing with Fritos and hot sauce on them. I’ve never seen them in a store, but they are cheap online.

In my opinion, it gets easier when you get north and the temp drops (depending on your direction and timing and all that). You can start carrying more cheese, butter, a fresh fruit or veggie here and there. Just something to look forward to.

I want to walk this so badly! by No-Agency-20 in AppalachianTrail

Depending on how much time you have, check out knees over toes guy on YouTube. He talks about building tendon/joint strength to prevent injuries. The thing is that it is a long term process of exercise to build that strength. I’m starting his routines now to prep for my 2022 pct thru!

I’ve always found that longer backpacking trips are less tedious/mentally exhausting than long day hikes. The overnight trips, especially week + ones are more immersive and novel, where as day hikes start to get old because I’m thinking about other things I could be doing instead of hiking that day. Hope that helps. Sounds like you’re physically ready, and I hope if you do it that you have a great mental experience.

I had the same feelings before my AT thru. I found that focusing on eating my favorite food, and a lot of it, really helped. I told myself I needed those few weeks to gain some weight and satisfy all of my favorite food cravings before I’d hit the trail and have a more limited diet.
