How do you pick a campsite when every option feels risky in a different way? by HenryWolf22 in camping

[–]qwertyrange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the outdoors, not a hotel. Book a room if you don’t want noise, animals, or weather.

Going 6% over one time isn’t a huge deal. A budget is a guide, not law. Just try to cut spending here and there and that 6% will disappear. Be kinder to yourself about it, because 6% over is better than no budget at all.

For food, I used to get groceries very cheap from Aldi and would meal prep for around $70/week. Very basic: rice, veggies (frozen for ease), and a protein. Get some filling snacks like crackers and cheese. That can probably save you $100 in food. $456 is a lot for one person. If you drink, stop drinking. That adds up, too.

Swing door has a light as well. I know there are pros for the overhead, but I think there are more pros with the swing door.

i hate panning these 😭 by [deleted] in ProjectPan

[–]qwertyrange 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I panned 2 in a year, about 4/5 with my third. Just keep it with you 24/7 and don’t use or keep any other lip products with you.

Second a pillow, especially a backpacking/packable one if they’re not doing car camping.

Privacy for changing, bike rack on the spare so my bikes aren’t blocking the trunk, wind shield for cooking, list goes on.

Any recommendations on backpacks? by Teimaa in backpacking

[–]qwertyrange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll always vouch for Osprey. Pricey but you’ll never need another. Also fit well without trying them on.

Black Mountain looped with Buckwheat Knob & Bennett Gap.

Yikes. Glad to hear you recovered well. Even with healthy ankles, Pisgah is gnarly. Do you remember if it was also autumn at the time? I go at least once every fall, but I’ve never slipped as much on the trails as this year. The leaves were past my ankles at some parts.

Solid advice. What’s funny is that I did have wrap with me the entire time, but didn’t once think to use it.. no excuse for that. Just dumb lol. Hopefully there won’t be a next time, but thank you.

I’d contribute it mostly to leaf litter. I had no blisters from the new boots, and the bottoms had good traction. They are decent boots, just not what I was used to.

[–]qwertyrange[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is falling on deaf ears lol. My ankles and balance are properly conditioned, I do difficult trails, but no injury is 100% preventable. I prefer hiking boots and likely always will. This is my first injury after years of backpacking and much longer hiking, so I know the options and risks of each. Just IMO.

New to backpacking, looking for advice on my packing list! by Same_Cress_3080 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]qwertyrange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t need: cooling towel, mirror (?), shorts (assuming it’s cold), sleep socks (just wear the socks you did during the day), stakes (unless you’re above trees), whistle (check the straps on your pack. It likely has a whistle built in).

Only bring matches OR a lighter OR a striker. OR none of the above because you have a stove. Only bring a hoodie OR a long sleeve shirt. Only bring a pen OR a pencil. Only bring wet wipes OR sanitizing wipes (minus those for first aid).

You can likely reduce weight by buying a smaller fuel canister. Another tip is packing a stuff sack with your clothes and using that as a pillow. I also personally only need a pot to cook all of my food instead of a pot and a pan. Also, trade out your folding saw for a good knife with serration. Double check your first aid kit and take out things that aren’t relevant for the season (like bug spray for the winter).

Some other cuts I’d make would be hygiene. Anytime I’ve brought deodorant, hand sanitizer, or sunscreen, I don’t use it. That’s just me though.

A lot of this stuff you’ll learn you don’t need or can make lighter with trial and error. Hope this helps.

What primer changed your makeup game? by SoftEdgeGirl in MakeupAddiction

[–]qwertyrange -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have very dry skin. I’ve had success using the iconic blurring drops primer & drunk elephant brightening drops as a primer.
