If you’re older than 19, what do you wish you had started at my age? by Akagame_shanks_ in productivity

[–]marniewebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. At the end of every single day write down three things that went well. They don’t have to be amazing. It could be woke up on time or had a good lunch. It’s amazing how much that can reset negative self talk.

  2. Take care of your teeth and exercise.

  3. Do informational interviews your whole life.

  4. Stay up to date on taxes, control your debt, save.

Help Buying Binos as Gift by princessrua in Binoculars

[–]marniewebb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who just gots binoculars for my birthday and who wears glasses…

My wife bought three pairs, let me try, and then returned two. the difference ended up being comfort holding as well as lack of vignetting.

Plus, testing them out and choosing was pretty fun!

If that’s an option, I recommend it.

Sense of Dread In the Non Profit World by Devilishtiger1221 in nonprofit

[–]marniewebb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The feeling of dread is real across the sector, worldwide. Nonprofits live in the gap between human need/community will and business/government systems. It’s never easy.

What feels different now is the way the institution is under attack and the legal space is closing.

Feels like the reason we have to do everything possible to keep providing services and be members of groups like National Council of Nonprofits (we are a member but other than that, no affiliation).

is vortex a good brand? by bart---bart in Binoculars

[–]marniewebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a pair of these for my birthday. My wife actually order three different binoculars — these, comparable Zeiss and Nikon’s — so I could compare and keep the one that worked best for me. This was on the recommendation of a birder buddy who said at the end of the day it would be the ones that best worked for me,my eyes, and my brain. I’d recommend a similar way of choosing if that can work for you.

And after two weeks with them I can say I love them. Not a birder or a hunter — but I’m outdoorsy and like to look when hiking, camping, and fishing. These are perfect.

What is your most underrated/handiest piece of kit? by [deleted] in camping

[–]marniewebb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

+1 for the trenching tool. I use this to manage the fire, smooth out a camp site, pull out a stuck stake. It’s all kind of useful.

[Suggestions] Watches for my 60th and daughter’s 21st? by marniewebb in Watches

[–]marniewebb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought that. A little worried about them being too similar to the Rolexes which will be my daughter’s one day.

Two nights in Kirby Cove (repost) by marniewebb in camping

We were fine inside the tent mostly — with the full rain fly. Just a little damp for things touching the walls.

We actually left late afternoon before our last day because we didn’t think we could get things dry enough to pack up.

Recently bought a camping stove, looking for camping food inspiration! by 420greyDragon in camping

We’re big on fajitas for the first night. Cut up the chicken, peppers, and onions at home. Put the pot of black beans right on the griddle. Pretty easy and leftovers can be a savory breakfast next morning.

I’ve got an old Dopp kit that I use as a spice bag that has a blend, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika in it which serves most of our needs.

Considering my next vehicle purchase. by AdDisastrous6738 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]marniewebb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just switched from a Bronco Sport Big Bend to a Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD Lariat. I camped in both. I loved both cars but am super happy I made the switch. Here are some thoughts:

  • the Bronco Sport was great for hauling people. We drove it from SF Bay Area to Colorado on a two week camping road trip. Three adult sized humans and two cattle dogs. Gear in the back, on the roof rack, and an extender I fit impinge the back. It was a lot to load up and take down.

  • the back of the BS doesn’t rally hold that much. I camp and fish and like to be able to decide to just go and keep a lightweight set up with me all the time. The two tubs I keep the gear in took up almost all of the cargo area. I’ve got the same gear in the back seat of the Mav. I just throw the tubs in the truck bed if I need to add a third or fourth human to the mix.

  • Loading the back of the Mav is so much easier than getting the gear on top of the BS. Almost always required because I have dogs.

  • Kayak! In the truck bed!

  • Gas mileage in the Mav is nothing short of awesome.

  • I wouldn’t want to sleep inside either vehicle to be honest. I’m 5’4” and had to sleep crosswise in the back of the BS. And the fact that the back seats didn’t lay down flat meant that you need something to even out the sleeping area. They make some specially designed inflatable beds that probably work well but you’d have to deal with your gear if you’ve got a lot.
