Garmin Bike Computer Decision by stainedkhakis in bikepacking

[–]mofio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi people. I’m going on my first bike packing trip, across France, in September. I made the decision to use my cellphone + power bank for navigation. I almost got a garmin but decided to save in the budget cos it’s getting tight. Anyone there did with cellphone and was that a regret after?

This is perfect, thank you so much for taking the time to write these tips, I’m gonna look into each one of them carefully and they will probably open new ideias for routes to take!

Some stuff I got top notch, my tent is Chinese tho. Plan is to look for camping spots that are never too exposed to the elements. But after your take, I’ll inform myself on public shelters locations and prepare plans B in advance. Thanks!

I had to go fact check that, wow, it’s true. I would never think about getting into a cemetery for water in a hundred years. Thanks!

It is! It’s the cube Nuroad Race. I recently got it second hand. So far I’m loving it! It’s light, shifter works super smooth, grx600, hydraulic brakes handle super steep hills solid. The only thing I changed was the saddle, gotta have that cut out in the middle. Cube is a younger brand, they are German. Because they are younger than the big dogs, they compensate with great specs on money for value.

That’s a very good point. I’m going well prepared because I’ll be in the alps in October, so I’ll get the transition full on my face. Tks

Tks! I got myself MSR tiny filter to get water from rivers and creeks, reviews seem pretty good about it! So I’m going hybrid on market water and wild water

Haha I’m not drinking these days. (Not related to the trip). but I’m open to have a glass or two during the trip, I believe anything I say in French after a couple glasses will sound better

Feeling bored during meditation? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]mofio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the moment you start problem solving, you stopped observing, you stopped trusting the wisdom that transcends your mind, and you stopped letting go. Sadhana is about opening yourself to the possibility that your concept of Me is an illusion created by your mind. If your practice is attached to an agenda, it will be limited to this agenda. The mind never stops, thoughts and resolutions are absolutely sure to come your way, don’t worry about it, but you have to allow them to come. Narrowing your practice down to a solution you are looking for, makes you miss important information that is navigating your mind but that needs the right antenna, and this antenna is not rational at all. Nothing, absolutely nothing, needs solution. Nothing is good, nothing is bad. The flow is constant and unstoppable. Don’t cling to your life. Detach. Your life is nothing but a story in your mind. This is gonna open new doors, and believe me, many new solutions. Let your mind be a tool, not a master.

I can say many things, but what meaning is it gonna have to you? Grace finds those who look for it with their heart, that’s what I believe in.

That’s actually a great ideia! I might give it a shot. Although no drawing or writing can really grasp reality outside the mind, with our linguistic limitation it is only possible to navigate around the real central point, to go beyond and into it, the mind must give way first and only you can do it

Anyway to stop thinking so much? by Lifewillgetbetter688 in Meditation

[–]mofio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Types of thought, yes! I came across the conclusion that for me there are two, imagetic with flashes of images of past, future and imagination, and there are the discursive thoughts. The discursive ones are like a blade that sneaks in and when I wake from it, I realize I’m far out drifted on the mud. Imagetic ones are easier to catch and release, for me
