I work 5 days a week and mostly just hike and camp on weekends. Want to get into longer backpacking trips. Just dont understand the scheduling aspect yet...

>How much time do you take off for trips?
>Do you just save up PTO and use it all at once?
>Do your wife/kids come or stay home?

Convert holiday weekends into longer weekends.

I don't work, pretty much just live in the woods. Most of my friends will extend weekends up to four days or so.

I feel your pain.

University plus full time work leaves me little time for more than weekenders.

I'll use my work holidays strategically, for example take a Friday when there's a bank holiday on the Monday so I can get 4 days.

Otherwise I suffice with one or two week long trips a year.

Public holidays mate.

For my country (new zealand), we get:
>4 solo days during the year (waitangi day, anzac day, queen's birthday and labour day)
>easter gives two days on either side of a weekend
>christmas/boxing day/new year's/day after new year's gives another 4 days

Just get your leave booked early and plan around them, depending on where in the week they fall you can pair them with weekends too.

As much as possible
Do you not get at least 2 weeks off a year?
You also might think about a career change that allows you more time outdoors
Money isn't everything

I'm starting a family so money is everything. Also spending time with them on Easter and Christmas is important. I can't be selfish.

Maintaining your mental health isn't selfish, it is a responsible thing to do. Where I live "USA" there are lots of people who put their nose to the grind stone and never take vacations. They even get angry and self-righteous when you try to discuss what you did on your vacation. They are normally the type of people who become emotional pretty quick, get sick a lot (but don't take off work to get better and thus infect coworkers,) and are normally getting themselves further in financial debt. Don't be like them.

And then be surrounded by a raft of assholes and/ or Mexicans with the same idea everywhere you go. I just attach two vacation days to a weekend and call it good.

Normally poor people take less vacations than rich people because rich people know how to manage their time and money in order to maintain mental health. You'd know this if you were not a wagecuck. There's no defence for that anon.

Sweetie, you're completely wrong:

Also, stop making that ridiculous "mental health" argument; plenty of people enjoy working 60+ hour weeks for long periods of time, without suffering from any adverse effects.
