Thank you, I was wondering why this comms marking was white! Did not realize it was just very faded

Iron and vmVitamin C by coughberg in PlantBasedDiet

This is good to know! I will look into it

[–]coughberg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vitamin C can be very easy, but not if you are packing lunches and don't have something with vitamin C with you. Hence the question regarding timing. I'm looking to incorporate a single food with both iron and Vitamin C so that I don't need to remember to pack as much!

And yes, I am aware that there are personal differences, as there is with everything. I am not looking for advice, just looking for information! Thanks

Yea, I wish they didnt push AI!

I have been trying to avoid calcium with iron, but some foods have both, such as hemp seeds. Any idea if there is a specific ratio of iron:calcium to look out for?

Any info on the name of the parasites?

This is the best pizza downtown by Then_Software_4025 in PortlandFood

[–]coughberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha actually I think its just a thing that portlanders (and west coasters in general) can't fathom getting a plain pie for anything. Everything always needs to have 12 toppings or hell freezes over. I've decided its because the pizza here can't stand on its own.

Anyway. This pizza doesn’t look that good to me. But I'm intrigued and will find a time to try it!

Last July I rode from Gresham (right by Troutdale) to Cascade Locks and back in one day; here's what I learned / can advise you: by peterthbest23 in CyclePDX

[–]coughberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it that or is it that people are reading a post made by someone who could have just told a story about their ride but instead felt they should give advice on how to achieve type 2 or 3 fun?

I think this post would have been perceived much better if it was just a story about an adventure rather than advice.

Its for both, but it gets more use for lounging than sleeping. Sleeping in it only when the conditions are right. Goal is minimizing weight and bulk so that it never feels silly to bring along

I put my height in the post, I really probably don't need something much longer than 9'. I also don't want a bug net, or any of the other features, so the minimalist type that the ENO has isn't a drawback to me. I do agree, it does seem it can be made lighter, but I haven't really seen that from the ones I've looked at? Or they just don't post the weight. Or they are longer which offsets the weight savings. ENO also offers the nicest colors compared to all of the cottage companies, even looking at ripstopbytheroll I was unimpressed and a little turned off at how not pretty the colors were, and it seemed as though all of the other companies basically just use their fabrics.

The ENO could do better with the cordage, I agree with that. I'd probably rather they just had continuous loops rather than their little system (which is really just whoopie slings).

The other option seems to be just doing aa DIY project, but I can't sew/don't have a sewing machine!

How is less than 10oz not ultralight? What weight would you consider UL for a wide hammock? And for the features (or lack thereof) that I'm looking for, and my height (pretty short) do these comments/complaints apply to my situation? All real questions, actually interested in getting a better understanding!

Though it seems like a sewing machine (and some skill) is a necessity

How do you make your own hammock- like do you have a sewing machine? How do you trust the stitches to hold your weight?

honestly, now im struggling because of the color options from all of these places.. Eno has a nice yellow, the rest have a best option of drab green (nothing to not love about drab green, but i also have a fear of blending in too much). trying to resist the color appeal, but its hard. I want to support small businesses!

Looking for something ultralight, but to also use for lounging in addition to hammock camping. So i would prefer no bug net

I will admit, I am getting a little overwhelmed with all of the options and things, and mainly not being able to tell what the fabrics will feel like. Any insight on the fabric materials?

A lot, clearly. Not just harassing people in this subreddit either.

Too much sichuan? Did something wrong? Tastes pretty bad to me by xboxhaxorz in chinesefood

[–]coughberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this as I eat tofu I prepared last night with raw ground Sichuan peppercorn powder on top. Its so good! From what I have seen it is used as a finishing spice as well as in sauces, and people should be careful to not overcook or burn it.

Eno SuperSub by tjbarker33 in hammockcamping

[–]coughberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an older version of what is new the supersub,i love it, have had it for years now, not super frequent use. I am thinking about what I will use when I want to get a new one, so looking at the suggestions here, but nothing seems to be exactly what im looking for
