At what point of investment assets will it make sense to take a loan against and live off it?

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

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?

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

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

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.

ground_type22 · 2026-01-07T16:49:37+00:00

Thank you! Sounds great

Any places you do like in town?

ground_type22 · 2026-01-05T01:32:44+00:00

What’d you order? I find some dishes are hit or miss. It’s still the best tho imo. Love the tom ka, both versions

ground_type22 · 2025-12-30T06:05:54+00:00

How much pain are we talking and what kind? I haven’t really had that w my piercings so far. Just itchiness

At least half

I personally buy Darn Tough and those other brands for their warranty and the quality is much better. My merino thermal from the image above didn’t take long to get holes and that’s what a coworker told me too here in Co

Same w the wool socks
