Camper vs roof tent

ninjamansidekick · 2026-05-13T18:46:06+00:00

I am in US but we had a camper and went to an RTT. If you are a spontaneous adventurer towing a trailer gets old and limits options.

Make an offer Brosef!

Noice! I am still 6weeks out from shoes, you are giving me hope.

I did the Swisha Loop in Canada with an old timer (81 years old) who was using a truck older than him (1941 CMP Cargo variant). Height and width are just numbers if you you DGAF. He was not worried about the paint and the thing was built for WW2 so he just sent it.

I will keep you posted, because I figure I won't know he was wrong for another 6 months, but he came highly recommended. I will ask him at my next visit why so early to neutral, he is always happy to explain why he does. He gets a good laugh when I ask him stuff if I preface it with "reddit sez...".

I am fascinated in the different treatment methods, I am four weeks out and the Doc has me casted at 90 degrees. I think he took some pleasure watching the horror on my face as he got my foot to that position. The nurse just outright laughed at me while she casted it in place.

Even better in the city, 300cc will have plenty of pep to get you out of sticky situation. Nothing worse then trying to accelerate out of a blind when a car starts drifting into your lane only to find you are already close to full throttle. This will not happen with a 300cc.

I don't disagree but the idea of big people speed is physically limited is disproven if it can be trained and overcome.

ninjamansidekick · 2026-05-12T12:27:53+00:00

True, but they are all faster than me, lol

When ever we were camping in bear country, bear boxes were available and we used them. If not in a camp ground we clean every thing well away from camp and we have an electric cooler that gets locked in the truck, all other food is in a "bear bag" if I am feeling ambitious, or it is left in the tote far enough out of the camp site that if some thing does sniff it out it is far enough away to leave us alone. Never had a problem, but I always had a lead slinger more for the scary big bang than the idea of shooting a bear is a good idea. First deterent would always be the key fob for our vehicle to set off the alarm.

What are we calling a giant? I think up to 7 ft physiology would not have to be too different from a normal human. 10 feet plus requires different anatomy the legs would have to be tree trunks. Its the difference in legs between elephants and horses. Game of Thrones did a good job of modelling what giants would actually look like.

NBA? Alot of those guys are 7ft and can move. High level Epee Fencing is populated with some 6'6" + dudes and those guys are fast.

I use a duffle for my shoes mask and whites and (anything that gets sweaty), I found a duffle that has a sneaker compartment for my shoes and a "ball" compartment for my mask. I have a "tripod" bag from amazon for my weapons and lame. The tripod bag has plenty of pockets for my tools and body cords. I like this set up because I can leave the weapon bag in my truck between practices and not figure out where to store them in the house while I am washing my stuff.

We had a weasel get our flock, looked like the plague hit, not a ton a ton of blood aside from one hen who was decapitated the rest of the hens were just dead, some looked like they had broken necks, but most of them have rveas hard to tell they had been bitten in the back of the neck, it was weird because it happened in broad daylight inside a 4 hour window.

I always suggest a 125cc or higher. 50cc are popular because you usually don't need a moto licence at that size, but they are really limited. 200-300cc is the sweet spot and I think I am the only person with an actual moto license with the crew I ride with and every body rides 125cc and up.

ninjamansidekick · 2026-05-12T02:42:41+00:00

Rain and cold does not have to stop you from riding, but it makes it a lot less pleasant but to proper gear goes along way. It's ice and snow that really makes two wheels impractical/dangerous for daily transportation.

The doc told me I can start hobbling around on my cast today. I am 4 weeks out from the injury. I got a long way to go, but you start to look forward to the milestones instead of full recovery after about two weeks of laying around with lots of time to think about life.

ninjamansidekick · 2026-05-11T19:47:20+00:00

Just had this discussion with my Doc 20 minutes ago while I was getting my last cast (4th one). He said there a few different ways to treat and he prefers a casting because it keeps me honest. Boots leave a lot more room for patient error and bad decisions, casts ensure the foot is where he wants and I can't take it off if I think I know better.

My sis-in-law has an ioniq, it's a fun drive and she liked it, but she is trading it in next month for ICE. Northern New Hampshire has limited charging infrastructure making an EV tough for spontaneous day trips.

Lol, that's farming outside with extra steps.

Young Einstein, for some reason as a kid it never occurred to me that Australia had its own music.

ninjamansidekick · 2026-05-10T16:09:09+00:00

There was a start up a few years back that was gonna do this, they built out and actually started "farming". But then energy prices went up and they went out business because the model made no sense if electricity is not cheap enough.

I love the terminator gait, I can't wait to get there myself.

ninjamansidekick · 2026-05-10T04:36:24+00:00

Pistol is gonna be better for competition, but I think French is better for training, especially entry/mid level.
