If it was off brand it would be really cheap and you know your kids will eat it. Also its EASY. At the end of a long day getting shit on by everyone, sometimes making rice and beans just takes too long and us too much effort.
socks dont weigh much, then again I dont subscribe to the ultralight stuff. I am paranoid so I bring 4. One to wear, one I just cleaned and is drying, one for a backup (if I am hiking in wet conditions and want to change mid day or if I get a hole in one pair or...), and one as a backup to the backup. Three is probably enough, but I always have that second backup.
Im a big guy too and I was never a fan of the ultralight obsession. just stumbled onto this community as some friends are talking about doing a section of the PCT next year. Gear review/recommendations are welcome.
If you are backpacking, you should have at LEAST 2 pairs of socks and you wash them at the end of the day. Use campsuds or the equivalent. I also had a ritual of washing my feet every morning with the cold stream water right before putting on the socks. It helped prevent blisters. This was back in the day when you had to have a pure wool sock and a polypro liner as a separate sock. now the smartwool is much easier to deal with.
The whole statement of, "for some reason, the most extreme views get pushed" was kind of interesting to me. The reason is engagement. We know that.
I have to say the whole gamer gate thing made me realize I'm too old for this shit and I have no idea what the hell is going on on the internet anymore. I still don't really understand what the fuck happened. Because every time it's brought up, it gets brought into this weird huge discussion like this video.
Its ok to feel angry. It doesn't even have to be justified. You don't have to take out your anger on people, you can just feel it. It is a part of the grieving process.
We had many years of continuity, just like any other normal nation who has free elections and policy shifts. We are in a new paradigm now. I agree the shift really started with Citizens United and the corporate grab for power (politicians are just owned by the corpos). That can be reversed but it is not going to be easy. Falling into sects just cedes power to the corpo masters.
You really think so? I know 'america bad' and all, but the US did do a lot of good in the world as well. I think it is evidenced by all the harm the Trump administration is doing by illegally decimating congressional approved programs abroad.
Lets face it, if the US falls, the EU is going to be scared shitless, it will be largely ineffective in the global arena. That leaves china and Russia to swing their hammers on anything they want, and they want a lot. They need a lot.
how quickly will BRICS snuggle up to the greater Texas petro state? What is their next move? Mutual defense pact? Plus with aligned states cutting the two coasts apart up through Idaho, there are really two seperate 'liberal' nations, not one. Oh, and California has the largest population of republicans outside of Texas so, not a lot of support. The US would be carved up and devoured in 2-3 years. It would no longer be a world player. That is already clearly the goal and it is working. I dont know why people want to accelerate this rather than attempt to reverse it.
His family said he was vocal about not liking Kirk. Your head filled in the part as to why. I find it suspicious they didn't expand on that more. I guess it's hard to admit "we raised a white supremacist"
Check out F/X. It's litterally about practical special effects. It's been a long time but I remember liking it a lot. I wasn't subscribed to Fangoria but my buddy was.
