My mom and dad put me and my sister in bike seats and rode over Sonora Pass on a weeklong camping trip. I was 3 y.o. and my sister 6. I ask him how they did it in the days before UL gear and he just shrugs and says, "Idk, we just did it. Your mom was tough."

Kek nothing personal to the dad, we just can't help it, it's just not something I can change.

>>2639191 >Never bring females on off-piste stuff unless they're top tier athletes Yeah so true, the first time I ever had to turn back for any reason other than running out of time was the first time I ever went /out/ with a woman, and it was my sister who I thought was pretty sound and badass, turns out she had started getting vertigo as she hit her 30s wtf.

>>2639345 vertigo as is bouts of rotational dizziness or do you mean the fear of heights colloquialism?

>>2639445 Yeah people get vertigo in high places and they get fucking dizzy and their brain wants them to fall off a cliff.

>>2639473 well yeah they get light-headed which often leads to dizziness and unsteadiness which is a bad combination up on high. technically this is not vertigo, technically

my dad was in the army and never took any of his kids camping or hiking or outdoors past fishing/hunting for that matter

>>2639637 Does being in the army coincide with being /out/istic?

Not quite planet sized yet, but heavy. >also super stubborn and never admits she can’t do something physically >hike is like 3-4 miles maybe, but also summer time AZ so pretty hot >stopping every 5 minutes because her feet hurt. She’s wearing lightweight running shoes instead of solid hiking shoes >stumbled across college kids going to same place and they have literally water >give them half of ours and proceed. >get to creek, gf falls asleep in my hammock while buddy and I splash around >hike back twice as slow, stopping every other minute for her to rest and bitch about it >out of water and all dehydrated as hell >finally make it to car and rush to gas station to rehydrate >apparently dad and buddy were hard core shit talking her the whole time swearing they’ll never bring a gf on a bro home again. Never bring a gf hiking guys. Especially an overweight gf. Bonus, ended up bumping into one of the college hikers when I went back to school. Never said anything to him but always thought about how I saved his ass every time I passed by him

>>2639698 I think each brought like one little throw away plastic bottle. They must have assumed the swimming hole was closer to the lot. But yeah they were sitting on the side of the trail looking absolutely wiped out. Honestly they probably would have passed out if we hadn’t been there.
