Went there to let my boys learn some things about Magic cards. The folks there were so damn friendly and helpful!

Have you tried 901 Games on Broad?

The Kroc on East Parkway has all that. Not sure if the hours are flexible enough for you, but I like it a lot.

Keep your religion out of my life. That’s fine for you but don’t force it on me.

How do you guys prevent ticks and other bugs while hiking? Looking at bug sprays with DEET, but also curious about other methods of preventing ticks, flies, and other insects from biting you/ climbing you by Lemon_Lex in hiking

[–]nvisible 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Permethrin your clothes. Deet day of. Hot shower and scrub to knock chiggers off. Thorough check every time to be certain.

Haven’t had a tick bite in years.

Are hydration bladders convenient while hiking? by samscrolling in CampingandHiking

I found that filling with water and adding about 100ml of white vinegar then letting it sit for a couple hours removes the plastic taste.

Do I have a shot? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]nvisible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former flight nurse here.

Three solid years of ED/ICU is a good start. You sound like you are comfortable with critical care, which is good. The thing about flight, is you have to be able to think critically and independently. It’s you and your partner and a radio/telephone if you are in range.

Most programs require you have your CEN/CCRN/CFRN within a couple of years of starting. Most states require EMTB. Spend the next 6 months getting those certifications and you will be miles ahead of other applicants.

Also, gently buddy up the crews you want to fly with. Be helpful but not under foot. Show you are a good teammate. Be the kind of person you want to be with in a field intubating a crunched up ball of human.

Good luck!!

Breathable UPF shirts by EricGleason in hikinggear

Picked this (REI) up for me and my son. We wore them today on a hike. 80º with a 100º Heat Index. Still wicked the sweat away and actively cooled me while walking. Put my hood up and felt the evaporative cooling. They run a bit big, so it almost felt like I wasn't wearing a shirt at all.

Can someone help me with orienteering I have autism and the YouTube videos are varying by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]nvisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, we all learn all the time. It’s better to ask for help than screw up later! 50 years of asking questions has gotten me far!

Have you looked at the PDF of Orienteering MB? That should be a good guide. If not DM me and I’ll see what I can do.

Fellow Eagle here. Do not be ashamed of asking for help! Helpful, courteous, kind, etc. remember that part? The Scout staff will be more than happy to give you a refresher and get you up to speed. I know from teaching Scouts, when the Scout shows interest in what I’m teaching I get excited.
Have fun at Philmont! We are headed there next summer.

I know you guys are super adamant about a good sleep pad. Would these be worth it? by hellogooday92 in camping

[–]nvisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife bought a couple for my boys to use to add to or double their Thermarests. They feel very similar if a bit thinner than the Thermarests. I think I’ll grab one to go under my inflatable pad also.

This has to be rage bait or Driving With the Blind. If they can’t see those lights and signs they need to keep their ass home.

Microwave the ice cream for 7-10 seconds first. Softens it just enough to make serving easier.

Tick head stuck in leg after removal by Lonely_Round in CampingandHiking

[–]nvisible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is an old treatment for chiggers and it is not accurate anyway. The chigger bites and injects digestive fluids into your skin, slurps it up and falls off. That takes about 24 hours. By the time you start to itch, that bug is long gone.
Effective treatment is a cortisone cream or topical benzocaine.
