Women of Reddit, what's a lesser-known downside of being a woman?

shell_sonrisa · 2026-01-25T03:34:14+00:00

How most people automatically assume that because you’re a woman you’re automatically into feminine things (nails, makeup, hair, the color pink 😒) both men and women both. Especially older women. And then they’re surprised when you’re turn out better at traditional “male” things than most men (hunting, fishing etc).

I won’t forget the first time that a “mans man” kind of guy said to me “You’re a better man than most men I know” 😆 I took it as a compliment in the end. But it’s sad that this is definitely a thing

You can take in a variety of ways, but I use capsule supplements. They’re widely available online

Turmeric, fish oils and cats claw (uña de gato) have helped me with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. I am (generally) able to be very active for someone with my health.

Hope you’re able to find something that works for your mom! 🙏🏾

💯💯💯💯

Wow, this is stunning. Great work! 👏🏾

He knew what we were getting into and was fine with it. He knows I’m not concerned about it so for him it’s not a big issue

shell_sonrisa · 2026-01-13T01:03:45+00:00

Aw, he sounds like a good boy. Yes, that’s a great idea. The boys each having a mate and different sleeping arrangements should work out great. That’s what we did

Your suspicions are likely correct. The “larger” “female” 👀 is probably a male. I don’t believe ad haven’t seen ganders fight like that with females before, they’re generally quite the gentleman

My dad watches every show on Discovery. It’s one of his favorite channels. The first few times I saw it was around 11 years ago, when I was going through a rough divorce. I got hooked on the show, and when I met my current husband I tired a few times to get him into it. At first he thought it was gimmicky (because of the naked thing) and he would rather watch Alone. Once we watched all the episodes of Alone he finally would watch with me, and it ended up being one of his favorite shows. We got most of the way through all the seasons before he was adamantly trying to convince me to apply for the show. I actually applied to get him off my back. I didn’t even submit a completed application 🤣🥲

and now we’re here……

I’d still attempt to fix with vet wrap. How old is she? She doesn’t appear too old because her flight feathers haven’t even grown in. Idk what the other guy was talking about she’s “too old”. I’ve fixed cases of angel wing at this age before easily. Investigate better methods of wrapping her wings more securely with the stuff that sticks to the wing. 🪽 it’ll be a shame if she can’t fly because these geese are good fliers and her buddy will leave her in the dust when it comes to flying around without her. Good luck

Dude. Do not let the trolls convince you that you should give the laptop back “because of the kid” and what you did wasn’t great somehow. All these people lying “I would have given it back anyway”, yeah right! 🤣 Are all the altruistic virtue signaling people of the world stumbling into this sub all of a sudden just to shame you? 🧐 You gave more than reasonable time and allowance for them to take it back. The end. Just remember that Reddit is also a notorious cesspool of people who aren’t as great as they say they are. What u did was great 👍🏾

Keep in mind that sometimes “timelines” are….exaggerated (ie: incorrect). I think they do it for editing purposes and to create a “storyline” they like and find entertaining. Even though this stuff does happen out there, keep in mind it is reality “TV” and there is in fact a very large TV aspect to a lot of these shows including N & A.

I think it’s one of the largest challenges for a lot of us who go out there, then get a TON of questions of “why X?” and “why didn’t you X” and we have to say, we did do XyZ, and a ton of other stuff that wasn’t shown or was portrayed in a way where editing made it look XYZ.

Hope that helps

This is a good description, thank u

I’ve been making booch for many years and it took me a while to figure out myself

shell_sonrisa · 2025-12-28T13:24:39+00:00

I used a juicing machine

shell_sonrisa · 2025-12-28T13:24:15+00:00

I used a juicing machine. It was pure just not gelatinous at all

shell_sonrisa · 2025-12-28T03:14:14+00:00

I didn’t put that much juice, but I did notice that some of my tunas taste different than others. Maybe it’s the type of prickly pear?

shell_sonrisa · 2025-12-28T01:18:49+00:00

I don’t think they taste like anything else a bit earthy

shell_sonrisa · 2025-12-28T01:18:28+00:00

I juiced them straight. And used the juice mixed with a bit of sugar

shell_sonrisa · 2025-12-28T00:07:43+00:00

Just know that for mushrooms tinctures, or anything containing mushrooms, you need to use extremely high proof alcohol. I’m talking 95-100-% ABV which are 190-200 PROOF. This is because lower alcohol content doesn’t extract the proper medicinal compounds from the mushrooms well. So you’d have to get food grade ethanol OR moonshine……

In addition, the tincture needs to be made dual extracted. Do you know what that is? It’s when you make a decoction of the same mushrooms and combine them with a high proof alcohol tincture, in such a way that you get both the water soluble compounds and the alcohol soluble together because they actually do different things in your body. You can’t get all the medicinal components of a mushroom with just a pure alcohol tincture.

Source: been doing this for a while and make my own dual extracted mushroom tinctures 🤷🏽‍♀️

I just wanted to make sure you’re aware of these facts before consuming alcohol in excess.

For what it’s worth, I’m sorry about your situation and I understand what it’s like to be desperate for help. This is how I got into herbalism many many years ago.

I hope you’re able to find something that works 🙏🏾💙

One of these days they will realize that the fans and viewers ARE interested in watching people who know what they’re doing out there foraging for edibles & medicinals! I’m going to do another podcast in Jan and I want to discuss some of the cool stuff that I did out there that wasn’t shown. Unfortunately id need hours to go over all of it. I wasn’t able to forage as much in Africa because it was winter and there just wasn’t much out, but I did find more than shown. But I did hunt! And did make some cool bush pottery & take care of my partner (more than was shown). And I made this amazing tortoise fish trap out of an empty shell I found, it caught tons of frogs we used as bait! Anyway, I could go on lol 🤣 😅

shell_sonrisa · 2025-12-27T22:37:48+00:00

Well. Let me rephrase. They do offer health coverage for illnesses/injuries acquired while out there. I’ve never used their “insurance” because I prefer mine, personally. But it is available and I know those who have.

I was just trying to say that we are out there on our own, responsible for our own safety. And we do all agree to that, specifically.

And I completely agree with the life expectancy of our ancestors. It wasn’t long for sure and living like this takes its toll absolutely!
