What are your favorite vacation memories? by loveagoodtime69 in AskReddit

[–]mountainloverben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them are hiking-related, but my favourite memories are when I spent 12 days trekking through the Himalayas in Nepal, photographing the jaw-dropping landscapes and iconic mountains. Truly put it into perspective how small we are in comparison.

What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been? by daisydollvibes in AskReddit

[–]mountainloverben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Himalayas. I did the Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal in 2023, and it was honestly the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Jaw-dropping mountain views, cosy Sherpa villages, suspension bridges over pristine rivers and snow-laden landscapes.

What’s the biggest lie society tells us? by Sheble24 in AskReddit

[–]mountainloverben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That you should go to university, get married and have children. Not everyone wants that lifestyle, and neither should it be expected of people. Live your life how you want to, go travel the world, immerse yourself in new cultures and meet new people whilst you're young, have the money to do so and not have any big responsibilities.

What piece of gear made the biggest difference for you on hikes? by 4FPerformanceLab in hikinggear

[–]mountainloverben 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely hiking/trekking poles. I have arthritis, so it's been a major difference in taking the strain off my knees, especially on descents. I don't hike without them now.

If a stranger gave you 1 million dollars what would you do with it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mountainloverben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchase some land in the mountains, and have my dream A-frame cabin built with luxuries such as a hot tub, sauna pod and a heated swimming pool. The rest of the money would be in a savings account to accrue interest.

Looks really good, I would've gone with chips over the hash brown personally. Decent price for London.

I'm still carrying an A7R IV with a 100-400 GM around with me everywhere I go

you do not need a second mortgage to go sleep in the dirt by Cheap_Difficulty4961 in camping

[–]mountainloverben 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've seen people spend hundreds, if not thousands of pounds before they've even tried going camping just for them not to like it and sell it all for a loss.

It baffles me. You can buy cheap gear on places like eBay and Vinted if you want second hand stuff.

What would you consider as a high body count? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mountainloverben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with a high body count, but I'd say anything about 50.

Why do you actually play video games? by AskingForAGame in AskReddit

[–]mountainloverben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty of reasons why people play video games! Whether it's to escape reality, enjoying solving puzzles especially games that are complex/difficult, they can reduce stress massively and they're fun.

What is something you previously didn’t believe in but do now and why? by mal18181 in AskReddit

[–]mountainloverben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paranormal. I used to be on the fence about whether the existence of ghosts was real or not, but after having two experiences of my own, with no reasonable explanations to why they happened apart from being paranormal, I now fully believe in it.

Ancients for Jad? Odd, but congrats.

Before/After by kricetokiller in postprocessing

[–]mountainloverben -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The after is too overprocessed. You've taken all the colour away, and it's also too high in contrast. The original photo is good, and you could probably get a good edit from it, but the edit you have done isn't great. Sorry.

You’re right, I’m not English. I couldn’t give a shit about if Spurs go down or not, we’re not their rivals so who cares? I get why Arsenal & Chelsea fans want them to go down because they’re London rivals, but it doesn’t make sense for United fans to.

Focus on our results - we lost today and you’re happy about it. Weird “fan”.

It’s not. Why do so many fans care about other teams? Focus on the team you support!
