I love extreme sports and orienteering but I also love gardening. I saw this doc on extreme gardening and want to get involved. Anybody do this? Apparently it started in Norway:

it was kinda based though. one dude even planted weed everywhere that was fun.
i am growing veggies and weed both in and outdoors and i feel like indoor stuff is much harder. if thats "extreme" enough for you.

Is there anything I should know to deal with winter conditions hiking? I've never been hiking with a significant amount of snow or ice, but am planning to do some in January in the Appalachians around VA, WV, MD, and/or PA.

I see you just mentioned hiking. Be careful in the winter time though. Understand that it gets very cold at night and often windy. If you decide to camp overnight you need a very good inflatable pad to keep you off of the frozen ground. The ground will wick all of the heat away from your body because your body weight will crush the insulating material you are laying on. - quality inflatable sleeping pad - quality sleeping bag - quality tent - suitable layers of clothing. Seems easy enough until you get caught in a rain shower on a 35 degree day with wind. - food - water

>>2857659 I like having spares, especially of different weights in case I sweat one out or want to adjust. How do you propose to wear a buff as a hat?
>>2857781 >You want a rigid boot with crampons. I respectfully disagree. There are some routes where you need steel-shanked mountaineering boots and crampons like lions head, but ammo and jewell are both walk-ups you can do in trail runners and microspikes on a good day. I absolutely believe in coming prepared though, and on the bad days packing light and fast like that will get you killed. That being said, if you were to park at ammo on a sunday or monday the weekend crowd will probably have tamped down the trail enough to breeze up in a few hours under good conditions.

my friend is backpacking in the grand canyon this march and asked last minute if I wanted to come backcountry permits for this mach closed already do they even check for those in the park?? I hiked the high sierra trail in sequoia national park and no one ever asked for my permit, even as I was going down to the mount whitney trailhead should I just risk it? are they more likely to check for permits in the grand canyon? also, if they do, if I just told them an animal ran off with it or something, would they let me off the hook?

If your friend has a permit I think they can just add you. I have seen rangers on a couple of my hikes in the grand canyon on the popular trails (bright angel and kaibab), I think in those areas if you're camping you have to stay at one of the designated campsites anyway though and pretty sure you have to check in at those. anywhere else more remote with dispersed camping I doubt you'll see a ranger unless you're unlucky

>>2858019 They can just add you assuming you havent met an upper limit on number of people in a group. I would say you are more likely to run into a ranger in the busier parts of the grand canyon like than on the HST in sequoia. If you risk it and do run into a ranger, whether they let it slide will depend mostly on your manners and if you are breaking other rules. Saying an animal stole it is like saying a dog ate your homework and will just piss them off. They also can easily check with the permit office over radio or even have printouts of all the permit holders in the area they patrol, so dont lie to them.

Actually can anyone recommend me resources to learn and train as a hunter ? I mean I could go out in the wilderness and try to figure it out myself, but are there any books or videos on the subject ? I haven't seen "educated hunters" whether irl on online, just guys who go out with a gun and a permit and shoot (sometimes coordinating with each other)

>>2858071 I wonder, if you held an alcoholic in recovery down and pumped their anal cavity with alcohol. Would they hold the alcohol, or would they shit it out? You've seen alcoholics being force fed alcohol but never a forced buttchug. The question is: would they accept this windfall/defeat? Would they yield or resist based on the strangeness of it?

>>2858149 Well, this is response I did not expect. So I will give you one in return. The colon is actually capable of absorbing the alcohol, so they would get drunk as fuck. There was a trend (and I hope it is still alive), where girls were dipping tampons in booze and inserting them in their butthole to get drunk secretly over long period. Did the guys do it too? I dont know, maybe gayboys did. But anyway I do not want to go on a tangent, I guess the alcoholics feelings would depend whether he/she is in treatment willingly. Maybe if you told him/her that it is because it wont smell from breath, they would look forward to it.
Quoted By:
Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.

Seemed like it'd be pretty great though, the snow was some of the most insane powder I've ever seen, I stuck my arm in a snowbank and it was like cold air.
