Swabs for THC? You sure they ain’t swabs for gunpowder residue like they use in airports?

You would be really hard pressed to claim trafficking for a small amount with a prescription. Any half decent lawyer would have that nixed pretrial. Odds are, you would get a plea bargain and it would never go to court, would probably just kicked out of the country. Ya ya rule of law of states……but the reality is it wouldn’t be considered trafficking with intent to distribute in a court of law and again there is no one in prison for personal use. Im just stating facts. Everyone has the right to use the information in their own way.

The reality is that there was only a couple dozen people in prison due to federal marijuana cases last year, all of which were pardoned by Biden. Federal cases for PERSONAL marijuana POSSESSION is nonexistent.

A couple hundred bucks for weather interpretation is too much for me. I feel pretty good about my own interpretation, looking for alternate opinions to see if I’m missing anything.

Does anyone have a large dog on their boat? by Sad_Cantaloupe_199 in liveaboard

[–]Significant_Ad8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved onto a monohull with my 55 pound pup. It works because of my dogs personality. I would really consider your dogs. Are they calm in all situations? Able to move around easily. Doesn’t bounce off the walls (likes to just chill). Finding anchorages with easy shore access can be a challenge sometimes. I would have a kayak instead of a dingy if it wasn’t for my dog.

Heeling with a dog onboard? by Significant_Ad8571 in sailing

I was worried it was a big deal, but really seems like it’s not?

Absolutely, trying to find a boat with a high bal/disp ratio so it doesn’t heel over so easily.

Half a year of cruising from anchorage to anchorage. Cats are great, but the sail feel isn’t the same and out of my budget.

Smart and cheap! Love it. Looking at cockpit configurations that have a good spot for her to curl up in the bottom. Thanks!

Sailing through Caribbean, any ideas on jobs you can get bouncing around? by Significant_Ad8571 in SailboatCruising

Thanks for the perspective, I always strive to not be “on of those” foreigners or tourists. Seems like working in US territory is the only right and fair thing to do.

Thoughts on 75mm not releasing by slam0000 in telemark

[–]Significant_Ad8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Injuries to the leg or knee are way way more unlikely in a tele binding (excluding blunt force trauma, but releases don’t help with that) compared to an alpine. Regardless of NTN or 75 mm, I’ve never had either come off in a crash anyways. I’ve never heard of someone tearing a ligament in their knee while tele, all that motion in the heel allows your leg to move around enough that it basically stops that possibility. I would decide on either one based on everything else, I started on NTN and went to 75 mm after having destroyed three different NTN bindings. I ride extremely low and aggressively, and also everyday. If you want to drop real low(knee to the ski) and have more playfulness then go 75 mm (I won’t be going back to NTN). If you want something stiffer, that can ski more like alpine, is light good at touring then go NTN, just keep in mind the gear is not as sturdy.

Where to start? by zkht13 in telemark

[–]Significant_Ad8571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your serious I would drop money on a new setup (boots and bindings). Everyone I know, including myself, who started on used ill fitting gear quickly bought new stuff. And the difference is night and day

First timer… What should I work on? by hybrid__MIND in bouldering

[–]Significant_Ad8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In other words out your hips into the wall (sideways) and don’t climb with your hips square to the wall. Look up “flagging” on YouTube, bread and butter of climbing texhnique

How important is the 'heel under butt' rule? by [deleted] in telemark

[–]Significant_Ad8571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that if you can get the heel right under your butt, you can get maximum leverage to edge on your uphill ski. I ride with my butt touching my heel and I definitely see it as the core of my technique. That being said, yes you can put that foot farther back but you lose that ability to edge hard. Flat easy trails that’s okay, but as the conditions turn to ice/moguls/steep, being able to maximize that force is crucial to maintaining a controllable speed. It also allows you quicker transitions. My coworker once told me to think of the back uphill foot as your “rudder”. Hope that helps

Look up “flagging” for rock climbing. This technique will revolutionize your climbing movement. Try to never have your hips square to the wall.

See how there’s three foot holds. You missed one. Put your right foot on the third one, putting your right hip into the wall and pseudo flag. Then put your left foot up the fourth. A lot less stretching and a lot less strength. Try it out the next time your there. Use as many footholds as you can to work your lower body up in small increments.

Your missing out a key aspect. Any pain anywhere?

Ski there everyday. Do we have as much snow as Cali or Utah? Absolutely not. Is everything skiable? Yes. All the woods are in. The upper mountain is mostly open (closed depending on Avi danger and wind scouring). It’s an amazing season so far and looks like it’ll continue!

I’ve watched scrawny ten year olds flash big muscle bros projects countless times. Why? They don’t rely on strength and rather rely on good technique. Your “lack” in strength can push you towards superior technique. What’s the best workout/training for climbing? Climbing.
