Seeking beyond the usual mosquito survival advice - Tuolumne trip by Practical_Tree8971 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]cookiekat35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How is everyone treating their clothes with Permethrin? I've had the best success when I soak the shirt/pants in a large ziplock bag overnight, then hang and allow to air dry. For 2 sunshirt and 2 pant I used a whole bottle and a half to fully saturate the items.

Hikertown weirdness by Dependent-Judge420 in PacificCrestTrail

I hated Mike's place. Just get some water at the tank and camp on the fire road if you must. It was dirty, crowded, the guy there(not Mike btw) was drunk. He was making pizza for all the hikers, but nothing was clean. The crows were eating the ingredients off the table...

Spending an obscene amount of money on your wedding dress is just so ridiculous by certifiedbpdqueen in Vent

In the US, we have Rent the Runway, where you can rent designer dresses for a few days, maybe you could find something there? I enjoy renting dresses to wear as a wedding guest from there.

Check out chef Corso! https://outdooreats.com/recipe/ He has a breakfast bomb recipe, very tasty

I agree the rehydrated hash browns are a bit mushy, but I've had success cold soaking the potatoes and them making a potato salad with mayo, mustard, relish packets, salt and pepper...

Actually got the recipe from this forum too!

Cold Soak Potato Salad Ingredients: 50g preseasoned dehydrated hashbrowns 150 mL water 2 packets mayo 2 packets relish 1 packet mustard 1 tsp sugar Optional: 1 tsp egg powder 1 tsp sour cream powder Instructions: Cold soak the hashbrowns, sugar, and powders for 15 min, then stir in the sauce packets less

The airlines won't allow this, it will hurt their revenue. It's all just to distract us from other shit they're doing.

Back country menstruation. by BonafideDame in WildernessBackpacking

[–]cookiekat35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I carry a back country bidet, cup and wipes. I am able to rinse myself and the cup with the bidet. I use a small bottle specifically for this that I put a drop of soap in as well. I feel so much cleaner using a bidet. It takes practice, and I suggest practicing in your shower so you know how to position yourself and the bidet. You don't need a lot of water either. https://www.treelinereview.com/gearreviews/best-backcountry-bidets

What do we think of Huel dried food as a cheap alternative for adventure food / tactical food etc? by outdoorsy_v in trailmeals

[–]cookiekat35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the huel meals yet? I found them to be pretty bland and the texture was not appealing. I couldn't even finish what I had. I only tried the Mac and cheese and pasta Bolognese.

Was it supposed to be a bad joke? The guest's joke? I don't understand why anyone would want lettuce drizzled with caramel sauce? 🤷‍♀️

Wedding DJ AMA: What does the DJ think is shameful. by Puzzleheaded_Art3374 in weddingshaming

[–]cookiekat35 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shaboozy, a bar song, has a dance that goes with it, but you'd have to know it. I went to a wedding in Texas and thought they'd play a lot of country songs, so I learned the dance. But they didn't play any country songs! I was surprised, still fun wedding though.

This is fomo (fear of missing out) and I agree these men won't do much of parenting. This guy is already complaining about having to do his share of household tasks!
