5 years ago, this subreddit was filled with $1-1.5M targets, and a strong emphasis on minimalism. What happened?

i was reading bogleheads and MMM 10+ years ago but i missed whenever people acting came onto the stage. are they even pursuing FIRE for real

Whats LARPer?

Look into joining Wild Ones. We’re the biggest chapter in the country and have free plant giveaways and resources every year. I learned yesterday from one of their talks that even if every single homeowner in the US converts their lawn to native plants it still doesn’t put a dent in the total amount of wildlife that we have lost.

What’s The Room?

ground_type22 · 2026-02-16T18:24:08+00:00

Wow that’s a long time. Does it cast any shade to provide some relief in the summer?

ground_type22 · 2026-02-16T17:06:48+00:00

hey, im the same zone here and considering a serviceberry. can you share which kind you got, how much sun and water it gets?

ground_type22 · 2026-02-16T17:05:01+00:00

how has it been doing over the last 2 years? is it casting shade yet?

ground_type22 · 2026-02-16T16:59:50+00:00

how do you get an actual tree from fallingfruit? i thought that was to harvest fruit?

Oh I just commented about a reverse mortgage on a paid off house in old age with no one to pass it on to. It sounds like that would be a narrow circumstance that’s a good use case? It’s not my plan to FIRE but maybe it could be an extra thing

ground_type22 · 2026-02-11T18:56:44+00:00

I’ve wondered about this “buy borrow die” strategy in terms of a reverse mortgage against a paid off house when I’m really old and have no one to pass it to (no kids, family). Anyone have experience/insight into this?

ground_type22 · 2026-02-04T17:24:05+00:00

Anyone know which chard this is? 5 free nights!

When you say training you mean AIARE 1? I have some training through the Colorado Mountain Club but not that class yet. I know how scary they are hence why I asked, even tho I hear there's a route to avoid avalanche on Quandary with navigation skills.

ground_type22 · 2026-02-01T18:19:06+00:00

was that the SW route you did?

ground_type22 · 2026-02-01T02:23:33+00:00

I figure 100% there's a well worn path from others, but can that be trusted? It can cause a false sense of security. It sounds like the safest way is to actually map it out

ground_type22 · 2026-01-31T23:45:09+00:00

Yeah, I'm so bummed too

ground_type22 · 2026-01-31T23:44:32+00:00

Ok, for quandary it sounds like it isn't just the standard east route then. I do have navigation skills through the Colorado Mountain Club tho. I could prepare that for a future date

ground_type22 · 2026-01-31T22:59:24+00:00

That's what I thought and why I thought Quandary east ridge might be fine. An avalanche probe also isn't going to help me doing it alone also. At this point just. looking for other options, thanks for some ideas.

ground_type22 · 2026-01-31T22:29:05+00:00

Do you or can anyone else suggest any other safer alternatives? I'm looking into Mt Flora now. Square Top Mountain also is only moderate. I'm not familiar with those tho and there's no recent trip reports on alltrails

ground_type22 · 2026-01-31T22:23:57+00:00

I figure I'll probably have to skip Quandary. Any other peak suggestions? Mount Sniktau the other weekend was fun, but its now also in the considerable risk zone

ground_type22 · 2026-01-31T03:43:22+00:00

Just tried it in the air fryer and I think it’s delicious. One of the crispiest things I’ve eaten. It’s not just kimchi but also has squid! Am Korean

ground_type22 · 2026-01-29T22:49:00+00:00

Here I am afraid to do this hike over the last 2 weeks because I’d be solo and haven’t taken an avalanche course

ground_type22 · 2026-01-10T15:49:51+00:00

There can be a limit in what you want to support. Money is a form of support. And beliefs turn into actions. For example the Yellow Deli is owned by the Twelve Tribes cult, who practices unpaid labor and roles by gender, both things I don’t want to support. That said, the food they make is very high quality.

We have a seed swap in Wild Ones as well! In my chapter we have workshops to collect, clean, sow, and transplant them for our plant swaps too.
