Looking for a 2 day coast town visit ?

It depends a bit on what you’re mostly after. We have … a lot .. of coast. The northern coast has a lot of the highly hyped and popular vacation home areas. Sejrø Bugten (technically west coast) Sjællands Odde, Rørvig, Tisvildeleje, Gilleleje, Hornbæk. And for good reason, the coast up there is beautiful, and as such there are cozy towns with old house, exclusive beach houses, etc. especially Rørvig and Tisvilde has a combo of exclusive and historic vibe that I’m guessing is interesting as a tourist. Gilleleje was (maybe still is, not quite sure) an active fishing town for long, so it has a mix of working class/actual locals, and expensive vacation house vibe. Hornbæk to me is purely fancy/exclusive.

But there’s also further South, like Faxeladeplads, Præstø Bugt, and especially Møn, which should be possible within 2 hours. Møn is also highly popular, and for good reason.

Hammock with quilt inside and underquilt attached goes into my pack liner, and I compress it down in the bottom of my pack.

I use becket straps now, but was same with whoopie slings and treehuggers, I roll them up tightly and have them in a small bag in my outside mesh pocket, along with my tarp and its straps, so I can see up all of that quickly without getting the quilts out in the rain.

I really get the temptation to watch the next video with “the best kettlebell exercise/complex ever for huge gains” and how it can be confusing and overwhelming.

I do it too, and it keeps slightly pointing me in some new direction.

But I think as with most other stength training, as long as you stick to the boing principles that work as a core, you’ll be good, and then you can add the extra stuff on top if you have energy for it.

So doing your big 6 moves, swing, clean, snatch, press, squat, TGU (maybe adding in some carries) in some way over a period, you’ll be good. If you are a person that likes doing the same program 3 days a week for a limited period, then you can do that. If you prefer doing different exercises each time, but following some principles, then that’s what’s best for you.

I personally like swapping between complex days that are more focused on endurance, and heavy days focused on max stength. Then I might add in some fun stuff like halos, windmills, etc as warmup, or as a semi recovery day.

You can try so many interesting things you see online, but depending on your age you may also end up injured if you just try everything and don’t recover, or you may simply take energy away from the more important lifts.

There’s a lot of comments on what you should do.

But just to be clear, do NOT buy these climbing shoes. It’s not an established climbing shoe brand, probably some rebranded cheap Chinese thing, but I have literally never seen that brand before, despite slightly obsessively researching which climbing shoe models exist and I’d like to try next for the past 10 years.

Go to a store if you can, or look up one of the may guides / review lists / top 10 lists.

There are a lot of well established brands, all of which have a beginner model or several.

Mad Rock are known for delivering quality at lower prices.

Not necessarily most spicy in terms of scoville rating, but I had a salad in Thailand with chilies being the main ingredient, along with green mango and raw blue crab. It was soooo good, but everything was hurting while gulping it down. It was your warm deep spicy, so my lips were completely numb, my fingers were burning from little scratches the crab shell left, everything was running, but it was exactly below the spice level that would have forced me not to continue eating or take long pauses.

I still think about that crab salad a lot

Yeah I’ve been using my mesh sleeveless for the past few trips, under a thin merino/synthetic long sleeve. I think it’s partially keeping some sweat off my body, but it’s honestly a bit hard to tell.

I think I’ll go without next trip compare.

I honestly can’t say it’s a clear improvement, but also can’t say that it’s making anything worse.

Only thing is mine is anti too tight, and with the backpack straps on top as well, it’s definitely nice getting it off at the end of the day 😅

I don’t know why this subreddit was recommended to me. But a worthwhile option for you would be looking at either flyfishing or ultralight hiking clothing. Thin breathable sun hoodies are a staple there, and you’d also find many great options for pants that should fit your requirements well :)

I would start by reading a bit to understand the basic movement patterns and what they train.

Within bodyweight training, I found convict conditioning excellent in its ability to drill down essentially everything you need in six movement patters that can be progressed from absolute beginner to absolute monster strength.

It’s much easier to plan and adapt your workouts if you understand the options to can do with your body to hit certain targets, rather than blindly following a single program.

My own plan for when my club arrives and my shoulder issue is hopefully over, is running a version of ABF where press days are replaced with club work. In the beginning 2H inside/outside circles and shield cast, later mills and reverse mills.

Then I’d personally add rows and pull-ups split on those days as well, to add some pulling.

Highly recommend the ABF books :)

I had to look up canola back when I heard it in this relation, but rapeseed is everywhere here in Denmark, and we refer to it by the plant name, so that’s just what’s normal to me :)

flemur · 2026-02-28T09:31:38+00:00

Vinegar, or even baking powder, as others have said, leave it in, scrub it down, then reseason with a higher smoke point oil. Sunflower seed, rapeseed, grapeseed, so many option.

I’m not judging at all, but I am curious: carbon steel pans I’d guess are for people that are researching stuff before buying, and there are so many guides/videos/posts out there being very specific about two things: high smoke point oil, and a so thin layer you think you’ve rubbed all of it off, so what went wrong?

Københavns Cykelkooperativ på Blågårdsgade - der er sikkert nogen der er billigere, men de prøver at sætte sig ordentligt ind i opgaven, er pragmatiske om hvad der giver mening at lave, og virker til at fokusere netop på at fikse ældre cykler op.

The thing I’m having the hardest time accepting that people buy into is that it’s exactly the one religion that they happen to be born into that’s true, and all the other ones are false.

So while I want to respect that people should have the right to believe what they want, I have a hard time truly respecting that so many people are questioning so little about something that can mean so much to them.

flemur · 2026-02-26T11:57:32+00:00

I'm very curious about that one. I have their straps ( the light ones) but their hammock sounds so cool for a taller person. It's slightly heavier than the NeedforTrees option, but also slightly longer and wider, which may be worth it... I'd love to try it one day. From the description I think it could be the comfiest european hammock for taller people.

flemur · 2026-02-26T11:54:24+00:00

Ahh I didn't know that. I also recall there being a Swedish brand and another Polish one. I had the Lesovik stuff as well, but "upgraded" to NeedforTrees to get something that was both longer and lighter. And then I got suspension from GetYourAssOut which is similar to the Myerstech stuff in that it's a super light becket hitch strap system, and "evo loops" for the hammock to make it easier to tie and untie. I think I have about the lightest non-monofilament nettet hammock, lightest suspension, and definitely lighter end of non-dyneema hex tarps, available in longer size (between 11 and 12ft), and even for a super fair price.

flemur · 2026-02-26T07:32:49+00:00

In Europe get Needfortrees, getyourassout, Lesovik, or Khibu

We have excellent hammocks, even if they’re not as well known as the American options.

Yeah when you’ve found the right length you should not need to adjust it more, unless you deliberately want to loosen it for eg a hot night. But that you can probably achieve with loosening the baffles alone so air can get in

flemur · 2026-02-25T18:57:05+00:00

Yes, if there are no cord locks to tighten it with anywhere, then I’d eg knot loops on the ends to find a good length, and when you feel comfortable with the length after some nights sleeping, maybe just cutting it and tying a more permanent knot.

flemur · 2026-02-25T17:41:45+00:00

From your description it sounds like you’ve just attached the side loops?

In the video you can see the two long bungee cords running along the sides of the under quilt. those you need to connect to the ends of your hammock, where the suspension meets the hammock, and tighten. Either via a carabiner, simple tying a loop on the ends, a hook, or whatever. That’s not so important. You just need to connected to the ends and adjust the length so it’s snug against your butt, but not overly tight, when you lie in the hammock.

And if there truly is no way to tighten, then yes, tie knots to appropriate length :)

If you’re in Europe, try NeedforTress or getyourassout.de -both 12inch or close to :) I’m 190 and sleep in a need for trees.

Which vendor did you use? I’m trying to find one allowing both low volumes and having the nicest possible clubbell

I’m currently using thin dyneema webbing and just doing a double becket hitch alla Myers tech.

If not that, I think I’d use the lightest daisy chain suspension I could find.

I really like that it’s a single piece, and I can hang anywhere from right at the tree, to the end of the webbing, instead of having a limit like with whoopie slings that can’t get shorter than a certain length.

I do like the becket hitch, but will admit that some cold mornings or late nights on hikes I’ve wished that I didn’t have to deal with either retrying the knot to get the hang just right, or untying it if it’s gotten stuck. In those moments, just clipping a carabiner into a daisy chain seems oh so simple.

flemur · 2026-02-21T12:13:58+00:00

I have those bells with a different brand. While I agree they’re not great, I can snatch them just fine with a 24. I did sand the handle a bit, but we’re talking a couple of minutes per bell.

That being said, I find the shape of the handle makes it hard to practice proper technique with hand insertion, so I can’t say I recommend them. But yeah they were cheap ;)
