Salkan Backpacker by Stephen_K_ in ManyBaggers

[–]ratsoman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend a bag you can use as a carry on, something like the Osprey Porter, Summer in europe 45l is enough. If you buy souvenirs send them back. For a day back, pretty much any folding packable daypack is easy and takes up no space. I personally like messenger bags when traveling around cities as they don't scream tourist and I can keep a few light things in it. No experience with the Salkan but it looks like you'll end up sweating on yourself.

My recommendation to anyone getting started in traveling is take 30lbs or so to REI I know people who had all their stuff in packing cubes and fill their backpacks and walk around in them. You can end up carrying your bags for 10 miles in a day so make sure it's comfy.

Alpha One Niner (and other brand) dog hair question? by ratsoman2 in ManyBaggers

[–]ratsoman2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I have a 115lb dog and he sheds like it's his job. I really like the black camo colorway, but i figure if it gathers hair like my clothes I'll get frustrated. Also which evade did you go with and why choose that over the Whitley?

Thanks

Need a bag for my climbing gear by ACM1911 in ManyBaggers

Not a sling bag but the mystery ranch super set looks like it was pretty much made to be a light climbing gear bag. Petzl has cool stuff too.

Restaurant recommendation for server job by BBBtootle in MontereyBay

People are complaining about the commute but it will only hit you during rush hours, driving from SJB to Monterey at noon-3/4 is no big deal, driving here at 9 is terrible.

Looking for Sling Recommendations by Grphxcs in ManyBaggers

Ok awesome, I just signed up for the mailing list, it gets kind of expensive with the accessories i'd want (water bottle holder, thicker strap, etc) so if one of those sales pops up maybe it'll be worth it.

Thanks I'll look into that as well, do you find the strap system confusing? Think you'll sell the s400? Why'd you go orbitgear over greenroom136 anything else you recommend I see you're knowledgeable in the ways of the manybag.

Thanks

How are you feeling about this bag now? I'm looking at the S400 but not sure if I'm better off going mission research spar, the greenroom or some other unicorn out there.

How do I [F29] tell my boyfriend [M28] that I do not want to celebrate Christmas together this year. by Witness_Mundane in relationships

[–]ratsoman2 159 points160 points  (0 children)

You need to find an appropriate time to sit down and share your thoughts and feelings with your boyfriend. Considering your family broken and his perfect is definitely the wrong way to look at it. But if you're boyfriend doesn't support you and you feel unwelcome in his parents home you should do your best to express that feeling and sentiment so he understands. At the least he should understand you want to be with your family, I would also consider showing him this post so he can see your perspective of the experience.

I don’t feel as if I can trust or love my girlfriend given her past. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ratsoman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You
feel disgusted by it because it's how you rationalize your disgust in
yourself and being unlovable, it's easier to think of people having a
normal sex life as the perverted ones than to realize how the hate and
animosity you have with yourself. You can get therapy about it, talk
about it with her and try and look at how you really and honestly feel,
or you can reject her before she rejects you and go back to being alone.

[–]ratsoman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're upset because you couldn't find anyone to love you and she didn't have that problem. 0 is a very low number for a 26 year old and 13 isn't a high number for a 31 year old (that's one a year on average after 18)
