I need to buy river shoes. I have a good pair of tevas back home but I forgot to bring them. They are 7 ish years old and the good tevas with padding. But I want to walk in very gravely rivers tomorrow.
My initial idea is just to go to Walmart and get the light weight neoprene river shoes that millennials like me have been wearing from the 80s. But I've never actually owned a pair of Crocs. I've worn them in jail a few times. Does their inherent bouyancy preclude them from being real river shoes? Should I just find an rei or other outfitter and buy a lightweight teva or teva clone that I know i love the design of?
Pic unrelated but all the good pics of running water were over 5mb.
Hello, this is my first time on this board. I am moving soon and will travel around the city on a bike, preferably with my chihuahua as well if that's possible.
I have two concerns, firstly being how to buy groceries for a week on a bike. If anyone has experience doing that: do you have a huge backpack or something?
Also, for those with small dogs: how do you bike with them?
Recommendations for very good helmets is appreciated. I apologize if this is the wrong board but I am moving in 10 days so I just want to have plan I guess when it comes to traveling with my dog and grocery shopping.
Guys I'm doing the GR20 (corse, France). Sense Nord-sud. I already did the most difficult part, after doubling one time and yesterday doing one and a half I'm between stages 5 and 6. In this place I have access to the road. The thing is that at the beginning of the second day I started developing really bad blisters. I never had blisters like that, even though I'm really prone to blisters so I have a shit ton of medikit for that. But they are huge and in the sole of the foot. Yesterday I started using compeed but apparently it's super infected and compeed only worse the infection.
I'm so frustrated cause I already did the hardest part, and since I'm carrying all the food I was way heavier than before, so everyday should be easier. But the blisters are fucking me up. Everybody said that the part nord was the hardest one, that it was very technical. But I found it normal, I feel like physically I'm super fine and if I didn't had blisters I could easily double every day without effort. But I just can't handle the blisters. And it's getting worse and worse. I think I will take a day off here, someone gave me eozine (Betadine) and I took off the compeel to dry them, do you think that a day off could help. I don't mind the mild blisters I can deal with them. But the ones in the sole of the foot are just terrible. I'm being a baby? The other problem is that for today and the following days there are going to be thunderstorm after 2pm. And apparently the weather in Corse is super dangerous. So I was thinking before in walking everyday all I can and doing bivouac mid journey if I can't take it, but that's impossible with the thunderstorms since I have to arrive to every refuge before 2. And I don't trust in my speed since I'm going super slow due to the blisters. I will post pics in the next posts. (1/?)
Hey I have an idea to create a XXL mason "jar" and rebrand it as a mason bowl. A bowl for men, for adventure. Tupperware for the bugout bros. Big enough we can finally fit our fat fingers into and actually clean when we're camping. They are manufactured with ergonomic crock handles, perfect for holding hot foods. This set of 6 16oz Mason Bowls can be yours for as little as 29.99, plus shipping and handling but wait. Act now and we can throw in this impact resistant Mason Bowl Harness for as little as 9.99.
But fr, I'd totally buy an extra wide, wide mouth jar I can put in a lunch box.
Looking into how much money it costs to go out and hike or climb mountains is just ridiculous. It makes the achievement of say climbing Everest seem less impressive when you realize it costs literally $150,000-250,000 just to be ready and get there. The fact that many countries tax your currency, so you'll be spending even more money to co-exist for a short period of time. It's just all bullshit.
