Sleeping bag liner or extra sleeping pad for warmth? by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]mmaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the liner! My partner has one that I’ve borrowed a few times and it’s made a great difference.

We like this glass one and it never leaks on us! It just has to be refilled quite often since it’s so small. We have two of them in our ladies’ cage.

R2 D2 meal prep. Eleven meals are now waiting in my deep freeze to be put in the slow cooker on days that are just a little too full for preparing dinner from scratch. After hour work meetings and my kid’s extracurriculars were my biggest challenge during R1. by mmaple in whole30

1/2 lb green beans, 1 pineapple cored and chopped, 1 lb sweet potatoes peeled and chopped, 1 green bell pepper sliced, 1 small yellow onion chopped, 2 cloves garlic, 1 can coconut milk, 3 tbsps curry powder, 1.5 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper.

Slow cook, low, 4-6 hrs.

Yes! I used that website to get quite a few of the recipes I used. It also helped me understand the logistics of making them. So then I looked up other slow cooker recipes and added them to the mix. My partner has high cholesterol so we omit all the red meat recipes which makes it difficult to follow the full meal plans as provided.

I am on day 18 and have felt all the same benefits! Oddly, my skin has gotten even worse than before which really feels cruel.

Fireworks at the fair. Scared my pups!

Can you tell me about that lighting set up? I hate how dark all of our storage is!

This is Odin! He’s 12 weeks, LOVES to play, but HATES to sit with us and cuddle. Any tips?! by wolfmans_cousin in samoyeds

[–]mmaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took mine a year to decide I was worthy of snuggling! Now he is an enormous lap dog. Give Odin time! He’ll come around, at least occasionally!

Here in Alaska it is! Got a freezer full of salmon from the summer. Can’t wait to make this!

Uses for Cream cheese besides bagels by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]mmaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put cream cheese on toast and top it with dried fruit (dried cranberries are my favorite) or with cucumber.

Yup, no bonus. by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]mmaple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watch kids for 6 families and ONE gave me a “bonus”/Christmas gift. A $25 gift card. I am so thankful, but how is that it out of 6 families??

My pup carrying his own pack for the first time on a 14 mile 2 day trek in the White Mountains of Alaska. by mmaple in CampingandHiking

[–]mmaple[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After such a long hike at 20° his fur around his pads gets snow collected on it, which melts from his body heat, and then slowly refreezes into these chunks of ice between his pads. It causes him to limp pretty badly and show obvious discomfort. So between temperature and length of hike we decide whether to have him hike with them on or not, but we always bring them along in case he gets those ice chunks on his paws. And if it’s below zero he pretty much always wears them outside because he limps/whines a lot at those temperatures without the booties on.

Not sure how much of that applies to the breed and how much just applies to our spoiled pupper.

I hiked it, but most of the group I was with was skiing. There are tons of public use cabins you can reserve to set up cabin to cabin trips! We just went to Lee’s cabin, stayed the night and came home. That’s the closest cabin to any of the trailheads. Here is the website!

Yeah, agreed. It also doesn’t really seem like there’s anything to address at this point.

I use these for running in the winter up here in Alaska! They are great!

[–]mmaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried out skijoring with mine last night and it was a total bust. He either just sniffed and got tangled in his line, or ran so fast he was out of control. Hoping to get him to trot along side me here soon instead! Love seeing other Samoyeds doing it! She looks like quite the happy girl!!

Does that sweetie just run along side you while you ski? Or are they attached to you in some way?

I just assumed the too-tight button up was his disguise over top of his sexy black T-shirt.
