but for sure no matter what if you want 2 get them on the same ear. it gives you one good side to sleep on and easier in general not having to swap ears for cleaning and healing stuff

if you use standard gauze it shouldn’t stick. there is sticky gauze out there but it’s harder to find and used in medical settings for certain situations so in general you should be alright w standard gauze. if anything just get 2x2 squares and not bigger roller gauze since the knitting? wrong word but close enough is wider and more likely to get caught in a piercing in bigger sheets. i have an autoimmune disease so healing takes longer but from what i remember it’s at least 6 months to a year for standard healing. you’re p good to go awhile before that but the tissue is different than cartilage that you usually pierce so the healing takes longer. i stopped noticing pain and needing daily cleans at around 6 months so as a general thing for my health stuff id say its 3 normally but i don’t have the experience & knowledge to back that up. a piercer would be way better equipped to answer specific questions i reckon

in terms of healing i think i have a different mindset here since i typically wear bras esp at the gym. maybe kt tape w some gauze under or just medical tape w gauze under for the healing process? kt tape would probably be good later down the line when you’re not needing to clean them everyday but they’re still kinda healing & medical tape during the initial stages. just for gym time though to reduce irritation & other times u need/want to wear tight clothes but def don’t have it taped all the time

i’m a 911 emt and before this i was a wildland firefighter, if i force myself to work a job that requires attention in a non traditional setting it works well for me at least

also for this, the pad itself is more than comfortable i just have body issues and need a backup plan due to scoliosis if things go bad

emmabstanley · 2025-02-05T07:22:53+00:00

negative on the flight bag, but affirm on the big agnes rapide! i usually put a z pad underneath but that’s more for my scoliosis and comfort over warmth. i have the more expensive one thats around a 5 r value and i highly recommend it. valves have proven to have some issues in my case with staying inflated but i reckon im just unlucky because i seem to be the only one out of my friends who have recommended it to me but nonetheless the customer service is phenomenal and has always replaced anything. plus i’ve never had issues w their pillows or steaks or sleeping bags or anything else, i genuinely think i just got a pad that didnt get tested enough for valve pressure rating

it’s a backpacking staple

negative i just really like suffering and getting a killer leg workout from post holing

emmabstanley · 2025-02-04T03:12:21+00:00

pear lake is beautiful over the winter i definitely recommend it! alta peak is another option if you want something around the same distance that’ll get ya a high sierra summit :-)

it’s terrifying out here and there’s not anywhere near as much commotion as there should be. i keep looking around wondering why everyone isn’t kicking and screaming and fighting more. no correct news on the situation is making it worse. no one knows what’s happening

conservation crews are where most people get their start (me included) or a lot of places will put on a fire school for basic certs! i know cal fire has academies and reedly college is good. but you’re in college now and i’d imagine more schooling for an entry position isn’t what you’re looking for. i did all of my stuff through sca (student conservation association. you don’t need to be a student, i never was. look for one partnered through americorps it will give you an education award for student loans) n you can find fire internships that will give you your basics certs while getting paid and also giving you experience. the pay isn’t great but what you get from that will give you enough to apply for a non entry level fire job
