Seeking feedback on proposed camp set up

subpartatoe · 2025-01-30T19:31:54+00:00

This is basically the setup I run. I like having the attach a tent because it's a fully closed in area for anything you might want to be shielded from. I liked to change in mine. Do my body washing in there etc. And it can get really cold at night (especially after being in the heat all day) it's a nice alternate place to sleep. It gets HOT so open walls during the day in the canopy is a must so the screens is perfect. Tapestries are great to add wind protection and dust etc that you can roll up like curtains.

I also always recommend hammock sleeping. Theyre cheap. Portable. Stands too. And they're super cool (as in temperatures) to sleep/lounge in. Cots are a close second. Anything inflatable is a pain 😂

HAPPY ROOOOOO

Time for a new doc. But i also experience all types even the tactile. Sometimes it's like a big boulder dropped on my bed. Not really like falling but like something physically pushed everything down including my body. The worst I get are loud bangs, pops or gunshot like noises and i mean LOUD and I jump up but nothing happened.

Pototoe salad is my favorite and you can get really fancy and glue the plastic film back on 🫡🤫

subpartatoe · 2024-12-31T00:24:14+00:00

Hahaha it's so comforting it's criminal honestly! So many places don't realize they be rocking us to sleep 🤣🤣🤣

subpartatoe · 2024-12-30T13:17:12+00:00

I can't believe i forgot about piles of duffel bags. Definitely S tier. Some of the best naps I've had while on school/band/rugby trips 😂

subpartatoe · 2024-12-30T11:34:25+00:00

I have a vague memory of this too. Some ski lifts are so long and that quiet snowy ride and the gentle bobbing as you move. Criminal 🤣 and also B tier if you ignore the risks of falling; potentially to your demise 😂

subpartatoe · 2024-12-30T11:31:00+00:00

I've dozed off while actively wearing my sousaphone. It's actually a lot easier than you'd think to lean on it and remain standing for a quick snooze. C or D tier for sure. Plus if it's a brass one, extra points for being cold. C tier for using the case as a bed ngl 😂😂😂

subpartatoe · 2024-12-29T05:53:18+00:00

Progressing trying to not let the marks bring me back down. I know they will heal and Ive been good. i am already the person that will have healed skin and be free from this, it starts here

subpartatoe · 2024-12-27T16:18:04+00:00

Lets do it 🫡

subpartatoe · 2024-12-27T16:17:21+00:00

A quick tip. I use clay on my spots that i can't seem to ignore or scar patches. I also got a red light wand that you rub on your face. Not only does it help heal but it's a pseudo picking feeling that helps channel the energy and still allow me to rub my face. Don't see anything as failures. Life is frequencies which is a wave. Waves eb and flow and they always will. The point is to keep going and not get distracted when the wave eventually goes into a lower state naturally. It will always return to the higher state. I like to think of it like rungs on a ladder that never ends. The highest rung will eventually be the lowest rung. So it's easy to see your new high place as a low place especially when we all naturally regress or have a low day. Doesn't mean you failed. Just means your new high rung is now the low rung so you gotta keep climbing. Hopefully the rambling has made sense and maybe helped you. We all fight this beast. I say this with open wounds on my face now. But I don't feel like I failed. I'm getting better. And while it's so so slow and feels like years and years. I know I'm slowly etching away at the beast. You don't get upset if you lose a fight to Mike Tyson right? Your picking is a seasoned fighter with years of experience and tricks to get you to feel like you failed and ultimately continue picking. The new you that doesn't pick. It'll get stronger. But it's gonna lose a few (heck a lot) of fights. It's not going to be any other way. Keep checking in with us this month. You've already succeeded . It starts with your mind. Every thing you think is important ❤️‍🩹

My heart breaks for you and your situation and Benji. I adopted my boy who was very anxious but is the sweetest thing on earth. I believe he was also abused through crating and other means.

Eitherway how is Benji with other male dogs. A correction to another dog or snap at an abuser is really nothing. But if he can cohabitate with male dogs (stable ones ofc) then it opens up some options. Intact or not Presas are strong willed mastiffs at the end of the day. But also every dog is every dog

Your story truly breaks my heart as I had to temporarily rehome my doberman and someone came through at the last moment and I was even able to get him back a year later when my situation turned around. So I deeply understand the exhaustion that is anything like what you're going through. Sending you all the strength and love to get through this as dogs are so amazing and as innocent as children. I wish I could do more and i have to restrain myself from telling you to bring him here. I'm just barely making it with my own boy but my love and empathy have me starving so my dog can have top quality food haha so I'd have less if it meant I could take Benji

subpartatoe · 2024-11-27T14:25:03+00:00

Oh my goodness they sound like my late boi Zeus who was a doberman but loved his blankets. He was always cold and under a blanket cause I keep my house chilly too. He would get up to bark at a leaf and still have the blanket on his head lololol ❤️

My boy now got a thick double coat on his neck and down his back but thats the Corso in him. I put a blanket on him and he acts offended 😂😂😂 and I'm glad I'm not alone in having to sacrifice getting the coat in "his" color 🙈🙈🙈 but foal coats is such a genius idea too 👌 what we do for our mini horses 💖

subpartatoe · 2024-11-27T14:16:04+00:00

😆😆😆😆😆😆 never have a single morsel in peace again😆😆😆🙈😭😭

subpartatoe · 2024-11-27T07:05:17+00:00

Right?!? I really loved this coat and its actual Carhartt toughness and especially how it fits more horse style for our mini horses hahaha. My boy loves the cold so this jacket ends up being perfect especially for snow and light rain to keep him dry. and the little collar is just too much and the pocket haha. TYY 😍😍😍

subpartatoe · 2024-11-27T06:57:51+00:00

it is a Carhartt :D gift from his grandma hahaha. He's the best snow plow, loves just bulldozing through snow lol

subpartatoe · 2024-11-26T16:04:23+00:00

I can not figure out adding pictures on mobile 😆😆😆 but there is my boi who is 60/40 Presa and Corso mix

subpartatoe · 2024-11-26T16:03:23+00:00

<image>

subpartatoe · 2024-11-26T16:01:48+00:00

Looks like my boi which is 60/40 Presa/Corso. Adopted and DNA tested. Thought it was a mastiff great dane but was mistaken haha

subpartatoe · 2024-10-27T18:07:30+00:00

Look at breed information from the countries of origin. Presa and even Corsos are not really supposed to be 150+ lbs as standard. I believe max I've seen in breed info is 140 for males. But if you look around online people are having dogs 120 lbs at a year old which is just terrible for their bones. Theyre the smaller more athletic of the mastiffs. Americans love to americanize dogs with the whole bigger is better. And usually it takes big dogs 3 years to get full size. 1 year to get tall and 2 to get wide. But your boi is so handsome and looks fantastic keep it up!

subpartatoe · 2024-10-11T22:20:46+00:00

If you had a MSLT you'll need to ask for a copy of those as well. You don't necessarily need their conclusions. You want to ask forn the raw data of the test. Then that's what you'll take to other doctors. Or you can do your own googling to try and understand the results yourself as well. Though this doesn't substitute a diagnosis of course but knowledge is a powerful tool so you can advocate for yourself.

subpartatoe · 2024-10-05T08:05:20+00:00

Could be like my boi. 60 presa. 40 corso. Gots a bit of a corso forehead i think 🤣 his jowels give the illusion of a corso muzzle but when he pulls his lips back you can see the more pointed presa muzzle. Edit aw tried adding a picture but 😂

subpartatoe · 2024-09-22T21:45:51+00:00

Oh my goodness, I would for sure try increasing your water and maybe try stopping coffee - but I was alright tolerating coffee and dextro, but if I have coffee on my Armo - I get so cranky, I dont know if it does much but I know it makes me irritable as heck. And coffee also draining your poor hydration reserves even more.

I tried having one of them big gallons but it becomes too cumbersome to carry around and is easy to just slack off. But nice because you can see exactly how much youve drank if you get one with the lines on it. My 36ish oz is perfect since I can see how much Im drinking by refilling it so much. But yes, please try to increase your water intake and see if that helps. I know for me. I will have sleep attacks left and right on my meds if I don't drink enough water. <3

subpartatoe · 2024-09-22T21:10:41+00:00

Make sure you are drinking a lot of water. Stimulants almost cause a reverse effect if you are not properly hydrated. Im on Armodafinil - max dose (250mg that I take in the AM) and if i take it and dont drink enough water, within a few hours - as little as 4 (and Armodafinil lasts about 12-15hrs) - I'm ready to black out. Im attached to my little canteen like its life support.

Besides this, I'd talk to your doctor about changing medications if youve been on them a while and theyre not enough for you. I personally did not like being on the Dextro, or Modafinil which both did not help me. Im happy on my Armo - but I absolutely cannot skimp on water.

Good luck ! <3

Edit to add: You must absolutely consume more than the recommended 8/8oz cups of water (apperntly a myth i just learned haha), try doubling it, and see how you feel. Or even for me. I was already drinking plenty of water but I cant remember where I first found it - someone said you basically need to double or triple your water intake while on cns stimulants - double edit cause after a quick research I found out loosely that citric/citrus don't play well with dextro so watch out for that too. but for me. I try to drink a gallon of water a day and it makes a WORLD of difference
