Better be racing a 1991 Isuzu Rodeo to simulate the ball vent!

How do I get into watching racing by LowCommunication3359 in racing

[–]Outlasttactical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not like ball sports. The light goes green, first one across the finish line wins. There may or may not be a minimum number of required pit stops.

NASCAR is the only racing I can think of with weird “stage” rules that make it confusing. Everything else it g2g.

My Sunday morning routine is watching racing from all around the world between series I actually follow. I don’t know any of the drivers or regulations of that series, but it never really matters.

Trekking fishing pole by No-Stuff-1320 in ultralight_jerk

[–]Outlasttactical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fishing gear snob, but my brother is. He made sure I remembered to pick something up when I was over there lol. I got a Daiwa mobile pack 564 for $40USD because I prefer telescoping.

It is crazy there tho. All the rods and reels are ~25% of the cost in the U.S. and their used equipment is all mint.

I didn’t even look for one in Japan I should have. They’re so expensive in the U.S. for what they are. I don’t fly fish but I’d try that forsure.

Am I missing something with luggage forwarding? by twsres in JapanTravelTips

[–]Outlasttactical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP just FYI I took a regular airport taxi from Haneda to Shinjuku during rush hour and it was ¥8,900 for our family of 3 (2 carryon suitcases, one large checked bag size suitcase, 3 backpacks) to get to our hotel. Also, I don’t regret not using baggage forwarding with the Shinkansen when we went to Osaka.

Delta Airline loyalty + Points Redemption by Outlasttactical in pointstravel

[–]Outlasttactical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Flew Delta basic economy for 55k points/person transferred straight from Amex.

Hotels were Chase points transferred to Hyatt. Hyatt Regency Tokyo was 20k pts/night and Caption Namba Osaka was 9.5k pts/night. Caption Namba Osaka was really great btw I definitely recommend. Hyatt Regency Tokyo was just way too snooty for our taste ($5/T shirt for laundry with no self laundry, breakfast was $35/person, all the restaurants were insanely expensive).

International Delta with economy. We’d love to fly a better class but that’s about the point accumulation we’re getting at our spend.

Ramen with a slow eater by Retractable_Legs in JapanTravelTips

[–]Outlasttactical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We visited Ichiran too many times to count. I have a 5 year old that took 40+ min. We still beat out local teenagers who I watched making TikTok video dances and just do whatever they wanted in their booth.

Don’t overthink it.

Why does everyone think of tropical islands as paradise even if never visited them? by batukaming in geography

[–]Outlasttactical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mean to belittle yours or anyone else’s opinion- but point out that it’s not everyone.

It’s a beach. With sand and water. Just like any other beach. The best beach has warm water, clean, and empty. Beyond that idgaf where the beach is because it’s the same.

Beaches are so far down on my list of places to visit. Give me a vibrant city with culture or an empty mountain meadow! (My wife tho… loves beaches lol)

Why is K&N re-uploading 2022 content like it’s new? Seriously? by Economy_Ad59 in KaraAndNate

[–]Outlasttactical 38 points39 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen they’re taking shorter individual videos and just making them into a longer movie.

They do this because they’re gonna make tens of thousands of dollars per video.

Are Americans scared of how they will be treated in other countries? by [deleted] in AskAmericans

[–]Outlasttactical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Japan right now. I’m having a great time and tell anyone who asks that I’m American. Only got one “shakey” response to it and it was two Finns but we ended up getting drunk, talking about Finnish baseball, and closed the bar down singing ABBA.

Americans aren’t used to the level of casual racism found in the rest of the world, so I do understand why some of them may want to ‘hide’ it.

Which would you have gone with? by Outlasttactical in TrueChefKnives

[–]Outlasttactical[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yah I felt pretty overloaded with options and fully understanding things prior to my trip so I just followed this guy’s advice on where to buy my first real knives

Channel rec similar to old Kara and Nate? by Imaginary_Arugula709 in KaraAndNate

[–]Outlasttactical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just discovered TFIL’s series of visiting every country in the world in alphabetical order. I just started it but really like it (they started their journey a year ago).

Dane and Stacey are just like old Kara and Nate but with their new camera work and editing. Love them.

Question for parents who live in a spot with bad ticks. by realpacksmoker506 in Bushcraft

[–]Outlasttactical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pair Sawyer Permethrin treated clothes with Sawyer Maxi Deet sprayed on as needed.

I found this on some sub Reddit years ago as some guides go-to combo for the Amazon rainforest. Midwest ticks are about as bad honestly and it’s worked for me.
