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.

>>2855046 You can replace the hats, neck warmer and balaclava with a single polar buff.

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.

>>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

>>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.

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.

If I had my druthers I'd pay ot take my nordic stuff down greens for a day to build skills, which is what the old telemark etc. books all say to do, but IRL people always tend to see this as comically suicidal (and yet when I was learning locked-heel alpine I could go up and eat shit 100,000 times and nobody batted an eye..?)

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.

Well now it's too warm again, I just used two-layer gloves, wool outside and some idk what fabric inside (they were 4 bux lol).
>>2858017 I have lifting gloves, the top is a fine mesh with a wider mesh on top. If the mesh stuff works, this would only need another layer to trap the air (and cover the whole hand). Maybe I should get a sewing machine instead

Are barefoot shoes really that goated? Im buying new shoes soon, and i just wanna know if its truly the way to go. Especially considering that there arent many barefoot hiking shoes, that are somewhat waterproof.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
I find I get a similar use wearing cheap aquasocks, they're better than flip flops for allowing foot movement and sensitivity, but not as secure as lace up shoes especially on downhills. On heavily travelled trails they're fine. I actually found a pair at fucking walmart that is halfway decent and has a wide toebox so they look a bit like clown shoes, but they're comfy af, worst case scenario they make good camp shoes that you can river cross with.

They’re called Tabi or something and it’s nice to keep your feet warm in winter but still slip your flops on.

All the cons of being barefoot, with none of the pros of shoes for foot protection.

>>2856498 I bought a couple of toe spacers on Temu and it fixed my knee issues overnight, literally. Started hiking in Altra Lone Peaks, which has zero drop and a wide toebox, but a thick sole. It took a couple of months, but my plantar fasciitis, which I've struggled with for years, is almost gone. True barefoot shoes, fully flexible with no soles, are good for short hikes, but not long hikes, or city walks, or jobs where you stand on tiles or concrete for long periods. Your feet need some protection, even if it's "unnatural". But absolutely get shoes with a wide toebox and zero drop, you'll feel the difference immediately and you'll never be able to go back.
