People boat their shit across the gap every day, doesn't stop people from doing the voyage. Aren't you happy there are still untraversable places in the world? Or do zoomers lay claim to every square inch

>>2854572 It's a very common phenomenon. If elements in history that for all I know are nothing but pure chance were just slightly different you might aswell have them root for Hitler. This can also be seen by the fact that often some groups are convinced would've been the designated enemy of some historical person when there is no indication of it being the case af allI mean who knows maybe you can print a load of tshirts with a stylized and artsy Franco / Hitler / Tito portrait and popularize it in India.

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.
Blankets that are nice and cozy and come with a compression bag or can compress nicely? What do you guys use?

>>2854320 I've recently seen used, some NOS condition, for sale. Not even expensive. I am no expert on the matter but I dont think the seller tries to deceive people. Do you have a particular need that necessitates the poncho liners to be reproduction? Or are the old ones known to be rotten out by now?
I find often, with such old items, authentic repros might be impossible or prohibitively expensive in todays market, as often manufacturing of even the precursor materials has advanced and improved and as such new processes may have completely replaced older processes.
Like the fill. If you look at synthetic fill technology, it is not the same as yesteryear and some of that might have trickled down even to the most basic plushy fill because of economy of scale.

>picrel is from one of the offers I saw. The vendor asks 35 units and claims they are like new and original. Varying mfgs. Customers who have left reviews confirmed that theirs has no trace of use.
Also surplus used to be a thing because when they make changes things have to go and as a result they are cheap. Reproductions sort of defeat the point, you're starting from a position where you have to make something for the money. Not where something does not serve it's original purpose anymore and must go. So you'll pay more or get less than with surplus. At which point you might just get something that serves the need but has good quality.

is the woobie really as good as people claim?
I mean I assume it to be a technologically inferior climashield apex sandwiched between two layers of ripstop? Only that DYI this route would be more than the original or repro.

You guys like birdwatching?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2853652 i LOVE shorebirds, they are what drew me into birdwatching to begin with after spending hours sitting at the beach,stoned,looking out at the shoreline slackjawed and watchingthe curious behaviour of the small foraging birds eating bits of biofilmthat coverthe top layer of the sand

Quoted By:
In winter I like to go to the beach to see shorebirds and other migrants that hang around in the dunes. But I really need a better pair of binoculars and (someday) a scope. I look out at the water and in the distance are dozens and dozens of birds in the sea but I can't make them out. Lots of gulls obviously, scoters too, but I really wanna see a razorbill or something.

I don't do much birdwatching specifically but I've always got an eye out while on hikes or other outings and usually carry my binoculars, it's always nice to spot wildlife of any sort.
