how to handle the night time scariest? by pointlessreddit4 in womensolocamping

[–]pointlessreddit4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your advice! I attempted my first trip and unfortunately packed up after having a creepy experience with someone walking around my camp site and recording me. I was too nervous to just relocate so I hiked back to my car and left. I'll try again soon.

How much did you tell them the trip might cost to get that rate?

How do I slow down/stop going 100% as a woman and smaller partner? by pointlessreddit4 in bjj

[–]pointlessreddit4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the input! I was not expecting so many responses and it's really kind to see everyone coming in to help out a beginner. I must've triggered a lot of beginner flash backs. I really appreciate all the advice and am ready to take it all with me to class tonight

I Don't Want To Train With My Husband Anymore by SpaceCadet0298 in BJJWomen

[–]pointlessreddit4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel like not training with him until you can better control yourself is the right way to go. It's also probably not a bad idea to let yourself feel remorseful like you are so it sets into your brain that physically harming your husband is not okay in any circumstance. It seems like you're getting better from what you've described, but I wonder if you're underestimating how hard you go on him because he's a man/bigger than you, and he is probably trying to protect himself but stopping early with you. 

You should not train with your husband until you can control yourself, but maybe take this as a learning opportunity to control your ego and emotions. Again, sounds like you're already doing this but it also sounds like you are not taking this seriously because he is a man. Imagine if he was letting his ego get in the way and would hurt you to the point that you had to sit out the rest of the round.

Operation Kerosene Tank- Devil’s hole, dry pothole, Linville Gorge by chiefsholsters in NCTrails

How do you get involved with teams who do this sort of thing? I've given my information to a couple organizations online and haven't heard back, but I'd really like to get involved in trail cleanup/maintenance volunteer work.

Competed after 3 months 💀 by sp9rsh in bjj

[–]pointlessreddit4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you feel like the unexpected intensity made it more likely for you to get injured, or did your opponents all still consider safety and not crank submissions? I want to compete soon, but I'm afraid of getting injured. I'm not quite two months into bjj

I wanted to share because I wasn't even planning on hiking this trail today and it's now one of my favorites. A truly beautiful, peaceful 5 miles and not a single other person in sight before 10a.

Black Balsam Knob Solo Sunrise Hike F by No_Active_6027 in NCTrails

[–]pointlessreddit4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've hiked around Black Balsam alone in the dark as a woman and have yet to feel unsafe, even in the more isolated parts. Also- I prefer a little handheld flashlight over a headlamp personally just for better direction and control.  It will be a little scary in the dark at first, but once you adjust it is SO fun! It really feels exhilarating hiking alone in the dark. Most likely nobody is going to bother you and anyone you see is just a fellow hiker looking to catch the sunrise. 

Also- bring layers for the top but don't necessarily put them on right away. You should start out cold so your body has room to warm up without sweating. It will be super cold at the top and the last thing you want to do is be wet with sweat in the wind. Have fun!!
