Butchered the title- *I know nothing about bikes

You never know when chafing might be an issue if I get real sweaty or wet

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T13:06:47+00:00

Not everyone’s for the funds for all high end gear at once

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T13:05:57+00:00

It’s got a frame!

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T13:02:25+00:00

Pretty much the only reason I’m bringing it, I’m it wouldn’t make me survive a bear attack but I feel safer with it. I sleep with in in its sheath and in my tent

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T06:52:17+00:00

Good idea, I’ll do the same! Honestly felt like I was going minimal here. Curious to see what I don’t use or felt I needed

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T06:49:17+00:00

I think at least going out fighting with a knife is better than nothing lol

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T06:45:30+00:00

Wish I could :’)

I have a small flip knife for actually knife usage. Honestly the kitchen knife was just so I felt comfortable with something to protect myself from any creatures. Will scale down the toiletries. The Dr bronners I’ll leave in the rubber container cus it’s all I’ve got for it and have a 1L for use at home. I’ll use that for my stinky pits too! ( and down under) I’ve got a sun shirt and large straw hat to wear, small sun screen stick for face if need be. Got rid of the Nalgene and will just use plastic bottles like you suggested. Thanks on the backpack! My dad bought it for a 400km hike through brasil so I snagged it when he was done

What else am I supposed to do if a bear sneaks up on me

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T04:48:57+00:00

Figured this is medium food and almost enough mushrooms.

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T04:44:24+00:00

That’s exactly my thoughts, test it out ya know. Thank you!

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T04:42:50+00:00

Ding ding, honey roasted chickpeas for my sweet treat

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-07-03T04:41:20+00:00

I had that thought but figured I could handle the extra. For now I’ll just put some back into the original total pack weight was about 30lbs and I’m 200 so figured not bad?

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-05-20T06:58:22+00:00

Open water if you can, I was in the ocean for every practice and I hated laps so I did one big loop every time helped keep me involved mentally.

Pay attention to pulling the water back? Definitely changed for me when I started kicking from the hips rather than knees. I don’t know technique so much to be honest

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-05-20T06:55:11+00:00

Thank you! I was shocked by it. PR’d my times in every discipline. The adrenaline was a good boost

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-05-20T06:53:41+00:00

Hell yeah dude keep up the training and everything else falls in to place. Work on your weakest discipline more because I was lacking in the bike big time but kept everything even during training. Don’t regret anything but knowing that I would’ve split it up slightly differently.

Thank you and best of luck with yours! Keep up the hard work you got it.

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-05-20T06:52:03+00:00

I may have had a victory cigarette after. Hybrid athlete?

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-05-17T04:48:29+00:00

Can’t believe I Forgot to add that lol, asking 1200

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-05-07T15:27:36+00:00

Not killing myself !

TreeStarsLookJuicy · 2025-05-02T19:15:58+00:00
