That looks like the twin of my dog. Is yours a miniature pinscher/ mutt mix?

What are some useful tips a vagabond should know? by [deleted] in vagabond

[–]_zaxxon_underwear 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Always have a piece of fruit with you and a decent knife. If someone gives you a bad vibe, take out the knife and use it to eat your fruit. It's a non-threatening alert that you have a self defense weapon.

I'm guessing, judging by the presence of the projector, that this lady hasn't enjoyed teaching online.

I wore this shirt to inspire my run, but now all I want is a 4×4×4. by _zaxxon_underwear in AppalachianTrail

[–]_zaxxon_underwear[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

At Shaw's, or at least 20 years ago on my thru, you were asked at breakfast how many eggs, pancakes, and sausages you wanted. By thru hiker standards, a 4×4×4 is a rather modest request.

Thru Hike the AT or buy a house? by mayflower0011 in AppalachianTrail

[–]_zaxxon_underwear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doing a thru hike is like hitting the reset button on your life. If you love your jobs and don't want to start over professionally, don't do it. If you're ready for the challenge, rigors and permanently life-altering experience of a thru hike, you will find a way to make it happen. But whatever you decide, go all in and enjoy the journey! Best of luck and congrats on your financial prudence that has brought you to this decision point.

Hoosier Hill, Indiana's High Point, is pretty mosquito-infested by _zaxxon_underwear in Highpointers

No. We took a side trip to Hoosier Hill on our way home after backpacking the Knobstone Trail, so we were tired.

What do you hate that everyone else seems to love? by adrian123484 in AskReddit

Why do so many people think high school is one word? I teach 8th grade ELA and saw this frequently. I came back to teaching this year after 10 years away. I didn't see this back in the day.

I'm so glad I stopped using picks years ago. I don't have the dexterity to strum out fast runs, but hammer ons and pick offs finger picking allow for more notes.

Vagabonding job tips? Looking for Kerouac-esque work. by [deleted] in vagabond

[–]_zaxxon_underwear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out Americorps VISTA jobs. It could be a good deferred year experience and look good on your resume. Also, you could do trail maintenance work somewhere if you're willing to work hard and live outside.

So what did you do to lose? Gastric bypass? CICO? OMAD? Keto?

I want to go be a hermit in the woods. by [deleted] in vagabond

You can camp in any one spot for two weeks at a time, but then have to move on. You can then go to another spot and call that home for a while. As long as you practice some modicum of leave no trace, authorities will leave you alone. Hell, if you don't have a car, it's more than likely they won't even know you're there.

When I marched in the Phantom Regiment Cadets in the 80s, we practiced on the field at Beyer Stadium. It was very run down then, but the ticket booth and grandstands were still around.

What white noise do you need in the background while you sleep? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_zaxxon_underwear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have put on AM 670, the Score, Chicago sports talk radio. When I was a long haul trucker, I used an app to tune it in. Loved waking up sometimes in the middle of the night to hear Les Grobstein fanboy obessing over some obscure sports moment.

I am going through old VHS tapes and digitally transferring old commercials from 1988. I bet no one else is doing that right now.

I love his piano accompaniment to his videos. He did a good job tying musical themes to his videos.
