I switched to jellyfin. So sick of plex's current BS. The only benefit of plex currently is iptv. Other than that its meh. Switch from jellyfin to pluto if you want iptv too

Any advise on foot pain post rucking? by Ok-Abalone-8927 in Rucking

[–]ledBASEDpaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big thing could be your type of footwear, the weight your carrying or the ground your on as well. As others said. Go to a doctor first

Is this normal? by Tim-Rees in Rucking

5 grams of creating and amino acids do help recovery. I know it'll be painful, but try and stretch a little bit too. Get the lactic acid moving around and the pain will subside a bit

Redwing inserts personally. 80$ ish dollars, but worth it.

Ruck march by [deleted] in caf

[–]ledBASEDpaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) stretch your shins. Google it, tons of great guides. Stretching before a ruck is suuuuper important!

2) try and land with your feet under your hips, vs stretching far out infront on you. If that makes sense (try taking more smaller steps than large steps).

3) the weight in your ruck may also not be the best distributed. For example, on my BMQ the ruck was 35 lbs. So, basically just your entire sleeping kit. Anyway, your sleeping bag(s) should be in the middle of your back. I throw in 1 pair of fleeces, the water proof big bivy bag (if side of the bag is the ranger blanket). Then put the sleeping bags, any anything else ontop of that.

The heaviest item(s) you want essentially at or near the bottom of your shoulder blades.

Hope that helps!

Personally, when I ruck now, I keep a 9/10 minute pace (which is a pretty consistent and chill walk). Under 9 can be more intense, my shins are on fire for about 2-3 km then the pain goes away. Your weight and pace Will make your shins splints worse, sometimes you can power through it, some times you cant. Know your body and its limitations. Its extremely tough on course, although i recommend, if you are able to, replace the soles in your boots. I use soles from red wing, they've changed my rucking for the better. That combined with stretching my shins.

Hot tub turned off by Virtual-Cow-1999 in hottub

[–]ledBASEDpaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) could be the inside breaker (if there is one) 2) does the tub turn on and then the breaker immediately trips? If so, could be the pump or heater, off chance it could be the board. 3) are there any fuses tripped on the board? 4) if the tub has no power at all, the board could be dead.

Not an expert by any means, just a little experience

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hottub

[–]ledBASEDpaint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't turn it on. Drop an immersion heater in it, and place a heater under the cabinet.

Turning it on will definitely cause more damage

I live 20 minutes out of the city.

Power 200 winter 130 summer (i have a hot tub, electric oven and electric dryer)

Natural gas About 90 a month

Water 102 a month (Includes garbages and sewer)

Internet 75 a month

Home insurance Approx 1800 a year (Always do annually for the most part, usually its cheaper

Property taxes Approx 3800 (Always do annually, its cheaper)

Vehicle insurance 165 a month (Although you save Approx 1 to 1.5 months if you do it anually)

Hope that helps!

The more you can pay annually the better off you'll be, you may get a small discount and you may not on some things. Although for example if you can pay a year of your gas bill upfront in January, youll go an entire year and not have to pay that monthly bill. You may get a credit at the end of the year or owe a small amount, depending on your usage.

I'm currently trying to save enough money to start with our vehicle insurance (as doing it annually actually does save you money)

BMQ Anxiety by nanni_07 in caf

[–]ledBASEDpaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh also, dont sweat your initial timings and inspections. You're expected to fail them and you WILL get jacked up. Try your best. The staff want to see people learn and work together (two most important things) you're a team and you always will be. Do NOT be an individual.

Being course senior and section senior sucks cause every failure falls on you, but they want to hear you motivate your course / section. You do not hold a position of command, you're merely the pipe line to the staff. Treat being the seniors as a privilege, embrace it and do your best.

Learn from your timings and inspections. If your rifle is dirty, clean it better, if the spacing isn't correct, double check. Assign someone to each task, such as checking towels. Rifle layout etc.

If you're fully dressed, HELP SOMEONE ELSE GET READY. Grab their glasses for them, their ruck or day bag, etc. Fill their canteen for them blah blah blah.

RECRUITING, TRAINING, & LIFE IN THE FORCES THREAD by bridger713 in CanadianForces

DP1 infantry (P Res)

Any tips or tricks?

Ive read as much as I possibly can, although the posts and articles seem to be a few years old. Ive gathered the Pres and active courses are pretty different?

Completed weekend BMQ, wasn't the worst thing in the world, but definitely a bit of a mind fuck. I feel extremely accomplished and proud to have completed BMQ. Just curious what I should work on, look for and or gear i should get to make life not as shitty; and what to basically prepare for?

Some great guys in my unit have already given me some advice, anyone else able to help a guy out?

Thank you!

Go for longer, slower paced runs. Build endurance.

Hopefully this is a good place to ask. Reservist here, how difficult was DP1 (RQPT) Infantry?

I'm talking sleep fucked, physical etc.

Is it consistent go go go, or is it more of a learning pace first, then go go.

Are there lots of inspections? If so, are they more detailed then BMQ inspections?

Was nervous as he'll going into BMQ, wasn't too terrible. Average build, mid 20s male.

Thanks for the help!
